Plus, it also makes it cleaner for you and you can keep track of everything in one topic.
Good Idea. Thanks for that!

Had it going over 100mph on a backstretch a couple weeks ago. Lots of travel trailers and 5th wheels to pass out here. So, I'd say V-Tek engages quite a bit.

Congrats on the 500K, up here the rust monster gets most cars before they can tally up that mileage....

It's a lot of data & I'm trying to figure out how to NOT make it boring in video format. I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do, so hopefully it's not crap.

555k miles will be something that's never been done before (best to my knowledge) & has been planned & coordinated for over a year now! More details on that soon! For now, I need to get a few videos completed & put more miles on...

6-26-17 he hits 500k

07-25-17 he hits 546k

So basically 46,000miles/12 months (right about there). At 3833 miles/month.

Seeing how he drives so much it's likely he has a fairly regular route that he commutes...at 555k -546k is 9000 miles.

9000/3833 = 2.35 months.

2.35 months from 7-25-17 = about a few days into 10-2017 we may hear from him again?

OH yeah, he's still going. I tried to tell him to keep everything in one thread, but he started other threads about it. Here's the latest

I'm up to 572,000 miles now, but changing work & will not be driving nearly as much as I used to. So it may take 5 years to reach 600k...

Oh no worries. It's just easier to have them in one thread for continuity, but multiples for a milestone are fine too. We can just link like I did above

500,000 Mile Dealer Maintenance Series TSX

Hi everyone. I've been asked a ton about the maintenance done to my '05 TSX to get it to 500k miles. So I'm finally putting a short video series together with the info. Hope you enjoy.

Good lord its been so long since I bought my brand new 2004 TSX w/Nav back in August 2004 that I can barely remember what the car was even like nowadays! Its amazing you still have yours! In the years since I got mine I've moved on through many cars including a new 2006 Civic Si (which I traded in the TSX for in March 2006), a new 2008 G37S, a used 2006 IS350, another new 2010 G37S, a new 2013 GS350 F-Sport, and my current (used) 2009 Genesis 3.8 sedan. I've had this Genny now for almost 6 years and have put 195k miles on it which is why your 500k mile experience is interesting to me. I'm planning on getting a new ride next year and am going to keep the Genny so I hope I can at least make it to 300k miles before costs get too prohibitive.

Glad to see the post Clymerdude... How's the TSX been latly?

I've been off the blogs for a while now...

Hyundai's are very reliable, IMO...

Wobderful to see that many miles on a car...

The RDX is at about 231,5XX now, and my (new) 2011 Kia Optima is at 168,667!!!

Cool post!!!

All the cars have been getting lite duty lately. I don't drive nearly as much as I used to. But the TSX is up to 575k now & still going strong.

Wow, last I checked you were at like 562K, I think...

575K is quite something...

It feels like yesterday when you hit 500K!!!

Here's a noob question, how many miles are on the NSX? I'm sure you said it before though...
