I drove my 26 year old Acura 2.3CL 1700 miles from Vancouver BC, Canada to Sante Fe, New Mexico to attend the 2024 National Acura Legend Meet. Along the way I stopped at some cool places including Thompson Springs, a ghost town in Utah where I saw the abandon Thompson Motel. At the meet I met lots of great people, cruised through some historic New Mexico towns and got to see some of the nicest Acura Legends still in existence.

Great journey! Nice to meet you and see the CL. Brought back some good memories.
damn I didn't even know that was a thing
Thanks for the video. What kind of mpg did you average on your trip?
Going to NALM would be a dream for me. When we have a Honda Legend meet in Germany, there are less cars than in my collection. Right now I have ten of them.
So many memories!! For being like a "gen Z zombie with a phone on record," this was a great recap, haha. I really need to visit the Thompson Hotel. And stay in Green River. Glad you included the footage of your well-deserved award!! I need to find out where that ended up so we can mail it to you for proper framing and display. Thank for making the trek! (And for the CL test drive)
My brother actually had a pretty clean 95 acura legend coupe in Milano red for awhile. I forget what happened to it. It was a slush box, and even if it wasn't, this particular brother was never a car enthusiast. I always loved the rear end of the second gen Legend.

Just need to replace or resolder the DRL Relay somewhere under the dash! Till then you can just tap on the relay box and the DRL light should go away
