When you’re in Arizona, the best parking spaces at the supermarket are not defined by their proximity to the front door.  They’re the ones with shade.  This is proper parking:  shade in a curb spot way as far away from the entrance as possible.

My friends know how excited I get when I see a Legend on the road, so years ago they started sending me pictures every time they see one.  It wasn’t until recently that I decided to start saving the pics.  We’re really getting quite a nice collection of shots!

Remember:  I love seeing these photos, but please always send them to me after you’re off the road.  Keep the roadways safe!

And now, I bring you the latest in reader-supplied pictures!  Let’s kick it off with my personal favorite, a 1994-95 LS coupe in Desert Mist Metallic with Oregon plates.  My friend Dusty saw this beauty on Scottsdale Road.  It’s a rare find:  one of only 550 Legend coupes in its color/trim configuration for those years combined.

The next three were from Conor in New York.  That 1989-90 sedan looks right at home carrying plywood on the interstate!

This G2 sedan somehow ended up with a mix & match set of wheels.

Nick in Utah sent this artsy black & white shot of a 1994-95 L or LS sedan.  Probably in Cashmere Silver Metallic.

Ryan from Utah found a rare 1994-95 Legend GS sedan in Desert Mist Metallic.  It had over 230,000 miles on the odometer and was looking pretty nasty.

  1. That is a nice corner spot Tyson. You are quite adept at finding those corner parking spaces. 🙂

  2. Nice collection! None of them seem to be as shiny as yours though. The first Legend I had ever seen was a maroon first gen one like in the third pic. It was the late 80’s or right around ’90, and a friend of my dad’s had one and stopped by with it. Even as a fairly young kid, I was struck by the quality of the thing, especially in the interior materials and fit/finish. The GM cars and trucks we had were light years behind.

    • Haha, yeah, I remember when my first “jump” to the Honda brand from GM. It was when I ditched my 1986 Chevy Celebrity and got a 1989 Honda Prelude Si. Night & day 🙂 I haven’t looked back since.

  3. Tyson, great idea creating these posts and it just encourages us readers to find and send you more spy shots! Haha. I loved the one Dusty found that was your twin! Looked really clean.

    • Haha, yes! I would’ve followed that guy ALL the way to his destination, just so I could ask him about his car and find out if it was a 6-speed. Stalker alert 🙂

  4. You’re killing me with your eye for Legends. I wonder if it’s a gift you’ve been blessed with or if you’ve just trained yourself to be good at it. 🙂 XOXO
