Thanks Anthony. It was your OCDetails site that first made me realize that I wasn`t the only person that was a little obsessed with keeping my vehicle looking its finest

Absolutely! I still have 25 more states to hit up, so I guarantee I`ll be in your neck of the woods sometime... Get me your contact info and I`ll let you know beforehand!

Thank you. It`s a rewarding hobby for sure.

That`s what the dealership said about the paint in my engine bay (which is also waxed)... LOL

**licensed** · 11-13-2007, 12:21 AM

everything that can be said has been said so just adding my congrats

Congratulations, Tyson!! It looks much better than most four year old cars and absolutely amazing for one ten years older!!:up

How long will it be at the dealership? I`d love to stop by & see it in person one day this week.

Failing that, will you bring it if we can make the "get together" happen! http://autopia.org/forum/showthread....7&goto=newpost

Awesome! I keep a maintenance chart like that on Excel. Your pics and ride makes me fall in love with my Acura all over again.

I gotta 2005 TL and I`m over 50,000. I drive everywhere and I give it true TLC almost everyday. Love the 6-speed tranny. Smooth trans unlike any other!

You have been getting a lot of praise, and I`m not very original, but I just wanted to pipe in as well and tell you what an amazing job you have done keeping that car maintained both mechanically and cosmetically!!

It may not be a Honda/Acura... but if my VW could last half that long I would be happy. Also, I`m copying your excel maintenance schedule for my car.

**itb76** · 11-13-2007, 11:17 PM

Simply amazing. I won`t try to get 300K out of my VW, but my wife`s Benz should go that long. It`s at 173K and your Acura looks better.

Michigan is far from you but if you haven`t been here yet, check out the west side of the state. Actually come see it all!

**xinkid** · 11-13-2007, 11:30 PM

Wow, that car is still in fabulous condition. You inspired me to take better care of my 93 MR2 which is still quite pristine.

Absolutely! I posted in that thread so hopefully we can get some renewed interest and get the ball rolling.

Will do! That`s one of the states I`ve yet to cross off...

Glad to hear it!

4cruizn,

You look familiar, did you by chance happen to live in Illinois at any point in time?

I am sure I am wrong, but had to ask. By the way, your car look amazing.

lol, I didn`t even remember posting a picture -- unless you`re looking at the one on my maintenance spreadsheet from 4 years ago. Nope, I never lived in IL, but I`ve been through there a couple of times. Maybe I have a long-lost twin

Car looks amazing with that many miles on it. I thought my `98 Civic LX looked good with 200K on it.

Hondas and Acuras can run forever with good maintenance. My friend has a Honda/Acura repair shop here in town and he has a few cars with 300-400K that come in on a regular basis.

**BLKSWAN** · 11-28-2007, 08:37 AM

4cruizn...i dont know what else i can say that has not been said already, but you have done an excellent job on keeping the car in tip top shape and i know you will keep it up...your cars are thanking you

**Bonka** · 11-28-2007, 06:09 PM

Absolutely immaculate! Don`t see too many owners run their mileage up to that point. Heck, in my city, people would have gone through their third cars. I`m especially surprised how well the leather held up.
