Separated at Birth: How Twin Acura Legends Reunited After Nearly 25 Years

Posted on 2018/11/06 by Tyson Hugie

Twenty-five years a pretty long time:  it’s a quarter of a lifetime, for most of us.  And that length of time is an especially long time for a car to last these days.  Given average miles-per-year of 12,000, that puts… READ MORE →

It wouldn’t be Pikes Peak without Acura. This ye It wouldn’t be Pikes Peak without Acura. This year, Acura is fielding a single entry: the #93 Integra Type S DE5, driven by Katherine Legge, taking on the Time Attack 1 (TA1) division. The mission? Break the front-wheel-drive record. Last year, Legge clocked a 10:51.359, just shy of the 10:48.094 record set in 2018 by a modified 500-horsepower Acura TLX A-Spec. 

Acura will also supply the official pace car for the 2025 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, with a custom-wrapped Indy Yellow Acura Integra Type S HRC Prototype driven by U.S. Olympic bronze-medalist speed skater Rusty Smith. 

The 103rd running of The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is set for June 22 🏁

Motivation Monday: @tsxtravels reaches 1,000,000 k Motivation Monday: @tsxtravels reaches 1,000,000 kms with this 2005 Acura TSX! 

I’ve been following Josh’s TSX journey since 2014, back when the odometer read “just” 647,738 km (400,000 miles). What a ride it’s been to hit that million mark!

Good to hear the TSX is still running strong! 💪

Any other high-mileage TSXs out there?

Repost @tsxtravels

1,000,000 kilometers! For this milestone, I wanted to do a throwback post. Aug of 2017 was the first time I saw the Devils Tower. It was also the trip home from buying my NSX. I truly miss the NSX, but the TSX has been a monument in itself. Over 20 years of ownership with ZERO mechanical issues on the original drivetrain. @acura has delivered an outstanding vehicle that I've enjoyed driving, and now my son is looking forward to contributing miles in 3 years when he gets his permit. I look forward to seeing him do his own road trips in the years to come, & maybe one day, post himself rolling 1,000,000 miles in his Dad's old Acura.
@tysonhugie recently picked up a car he's wanted s @tysonhugie recently picked up a car he's wanted since he was 20 years old - an Acura CL Type-S. Check out the #throwbackthursday snapshot from back in 2001 when he first saw an Aegean blue Acura CL Type-S while in California. Fast forward to 2025, and he's now a proud owner of a 2003 3.2 CL Type-S.

"This is my Aegean Blue Pearl 6-speed manual with navigation — it’s one of only 68 cars ever built in that combo. Just over 183,000 miles, but its 260 horses are still race-ready."

Acura CL owners, where you at?!
