Curious as to whether or not you have or are going to reach out to Acura and let them know? And then would be curious as to what if anything, they say or do.

Even then I see you maybe getting a new Acura or driving the RDX, keeping the TSX, putting a new motor in it, and logging the difference in milage accordingly...
Honestly if be more worried about other things braking, such as serviceable components...

Pretty cool! Keep that odometer spinning (so to speak... Olde Tymers will understand).

That, but I'm still more afraid of there being another accident...
I nearly hit a deer last month, and two dogs the other week, just a mile apart... Now I know why that old Toyota Highlander was meant to go behind me and didn't pull out ahead of me, he had 10x enough time to, good luck avoiding a dog in the road in a Highlander...

I know the early K24s like to jump cogs on the timing pulley...
I cannot seem to figure out what you drive Justnspace?
I need an engine in that old Camry, but honestly, I just want to sell it, let the monthly reduction in insurance help pay the crazy oil changes in the RDX... It's barely been six weeks and I'm at 20% again...

Did you see the "Dueling Acuras" YouTube video he and Tyson made to celebrate Acuras 30th Anniversary back in March?
That was good stuff, I'll say!!!

So after half a million miles of seat time, is there anything you wish would have been done differently in the design or manufacturering of the car? And/or, what did they get exactly right?
For example, I'm firmly convinced the steering wheel audio buttons (volume / channel / source) are in exactly the right place, and that the cruise control button layout is abysmal.
Do you have anything that impresses you or just grinds your gears after all that time?
PS. You're only like 120k miles away from 1,000,000 km! Have you considered switching the odometer to metric and taking a road trip to America's Hat?

Thanks, & that IS the big question. I don't know man... 11.5 years to get here. I'm keeping hope alive. But I'm also working on a back up plan

Excellent question! I need to think about it for a couple days tho. Nothing jumps out at me at the moment. But I'll give it some thought. My next blog post is going to be a few minute walk around video pointing out wear & tear, bumps and bruises and exactly what you're asking about. I should update over the weekend, so hang tight.
