Congrats man! I am ridiculously jealous. Maybe #2 can follow your lead.
+1. The stories of people's reactions to RLs rebadged as Legends are pretty amazing. Reminds you of the legacy Acura has built.
I wonder how many transmissions it'll take my TL to get to 500K.

Hey everyone!
Sorry for the delay in responding - I've been internet-less except for on my phone since last Thursday night. Plus it's been non-stop craziness. I just got home from LA. The 500k went over EXACTLY as planned. Total precision on behalf of the planning team at Acura. Can't say enough about how impressed I was with the level of hospitality demonstrated toward me and all of the friends and family members who celebrated with me.
I'm back in Arizona already now, that old 500k milestone is long gone in my rearview mirror. Acura is paying my maintenance expense from now until the end of 2012, so that only means one thing: They want this baby to keep getting driven. And I'll gladly oblige.
Watch for a blog post in the next couple of days where I'll discuss the day's events in more detail. Thanks for following the story!
Tons of pics in this gallery.

Congrats again Tyson! It was a blast celebrating with you at American Honda Headquarters and at the Honda Museum. I can only dream of my Integra making it up to 500K.
Here are the pictures I took at the event. If you want any of them for your blog be sure to let me know and I can give you copies of them at a higher quality...
I hope all of you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them. The other cars you see in this gallery are featured at the Honda Museum which is closed to the public.

Oh what the heck, I'll just post Tyson's pictures that I took here...
Tyson holding his binders containing all of the maintenance records for his Legend. He has had it serviced only at Acura dealers and has only used factory parts.

WOW is all I have to say.
I remember you looking at Legends in junkyards that have less miles than yours, yet here is your car, 500K miles and literally getting the red carpet treatment!

Thank you Anil for posting those!! Great coverage of the event - much appreciated.
Yes indeed - free maintenance until 2013. Not bad!
Thanks everyone for your support - it's been a long journey but the finish line was totally worth it.
