Tyson Hugie's 1994 Acura Legend Coupe. Not your typical 18-year old car. |
Confession: I've been neglecting the TireKicker Time Machine feature. Partly because it's 17 million degrees in Phoenix this summer but also because I'm looking for the exceptional.
Turns out I found it in the summer of 2009...and just needed reminding.
The picture above is of a 1994 Acura Legend 6-Speed Coupe belonging to a young man named Tyson Hugie. And it's a recent photo.

And if you think he keeps it nice by not driving it much...remember that mileage? 378,000 two summers ago? Here's the odometer from this past weekend:
Tyson's 1994 Acura Legend Coupe odometer reading as of this weekend. |
That's right...now closing in on half a million miles. Tyson has driven 113,774 miles in 26 months. That's 4,375 miles a month. Testing two cars a week, I do maybe 2,000...2,400 tops. How's he do it?
He drives places. Interesting, faraway places:

There are a lot of interesting adventures and insights wrapped up in getting a car to the 500,000 mile mark...and Tyson tells them best in his own blog devoted to getting there: DriveToFive (Legendary Quest for 500,000 Miles). He'll hit that milestone soon at this rate...so bookmark it now and start enjoying the ride.

Nice to read this blog. Acura Legend is a vehicle I’ve never owned, but my friends own an FJ Cruiser purches from Arlington Acura and I love it! I’m in the market for a new vehicle and am thinking of a Crossover! Thanks for the nice share
Hello, I am also an Acura lover and drive since 10 years. Prime Acura Boston are the best dealers i have seen for
Acura Service in Boston. Anyone can visit them.
