I'm happy to hear that! Glad you're keeping it. But if you find right buyer that'll take care of car, do what you feel is best.

I'll eventually sell car to a buyer already lined up (co-owner of shop that did my air suspension), but my story isn't finished quite yet. This is a slow build, I projected 10 years to finish. I'm approaching 6th year in Jan.

Thanks for kind words.

October 23, 2022 - A special day for an OG and good friend from Japan kazuu_ka7. Picked up at 5:30am and drove down to San Diego to a Honda meet and met up with couple of Legend brothers and Honda/Acura fam. Drove up and met with couple more Legend fam for lunch.





Not too after long Legends got love on Superstreet/Motortrend and couple Honda pages.
