This project car came with a special purpose in mind. From 2008 until she passed away in 2014, my friend Kyle's mom drove it. The car later left the state for almost a decade and changed hands a couple of times. I acquired it after it had been involved in a rear-end collision and restored it to show Kyle and his family.

For some reason my phone screen is blurry as I post this. Oh, wait! It's because my eyes have tears in them! Awwww you're so in tune with life and why we are here -- which is to enhance the lives of those with whom we associate. Well done, again! Your attention to every detail does not go unnoticed. I am so proud and blessed to have you as a son. ❤

You are a great friend. This was really cool to watch. My mom, Kathy, passed away in 2019 at the age of 48 very unexpected. Her last car was a 2017 Accord. It was weird coming home to visit and not seeing the car in the driveway anymore. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for that generation Accord in white.

Beautiful story & another beautiful Acura lives on. My dad had a '74 Chevelle Malibu Classic. It was the car I learned to drive with. I'm sure the car wasn't special to him, but it was to me. In 2012, months after my dad passed, I located a clean '74 Malibu Classic in North Fort Myers, FL., with 54,000 verifiable miles and clean. A retired gentleman who purchased it from his elderly next door neighbor 20 years earlier in Ohio. My hope was to repaint the same green exterior & reupholster the interior to match. I held the car a few years but at that time the cost was too overwhelming for me. I was desperate to hold on to or enhance my memory of my dad. I was satisfied I did and let the car go to a disabled vet in NJ who wanted one of these since he went off into the army and his parents sold it while he was away, not knowing how much he loved his '74 malibu Classic. I felt I did right by the car and you did as well. Nice going Tyson.

I've always loved the first generation TSX, it looks so timeless in its design, and I'm glad you wanted to preserve the car for years to come on behalg of a good friend. I'm sure his mother, if she were still in this world today, would appreciate her TSX still in flawless condition. All the hoops you went through in order to preserve this car was amazing, and such a good friend that you are to want to preserve the memory of a family member. For those who have never driven a TSX, it is one of the best entry level Acura sport sedans you can ever purchase, especially this first generation. People like Tyson are examples of why Acura cars are so great, and why people should show more appreciation to their vehicles.

Cool,just subscribed today. I’ve been a Honda guy since the early 90s when my buddy had a 91 CRX Si and he showed me how much abuse that could take without breaking. I currently have a 92 Civic Si hatch with half a million kms and a tired engine,a ‘14 civic coupe 5 speed and a near mint 01 prelude, leather interior,5 speed. My wife drives a nice 05 Acura TL that I bought her 8 years ago. My Prelude has to be close to one of the last ones ever built because it was built in October of 2001 which is very late in the model year. Hello from Vancouver island British Columbia 😊

What a beautifull story and tribute to Kathy's 2006 TSX. I had the same car myself in Europe as a Honda Accord. It was such a great car and fenomenal to drive. These cars are ultra reliable and have a great chassis. I regret to having sold it 10 years ago. Now I want one back but they are not easily to find here in Europe. I really enjoyed this video as it brings back memories to my own Honda Accord.

The TSX with it's K-Series motor and great suspension is very undervalued, or a super value depending on how you want to view it. Great job saving this one. If you follow any TSX groups they seem to be dying out due to accidents quite often and not because of mechanical failure.
