Chicago Honda/Acura Lunch Meet-Up & Sightseeing

Scenes from a June 2024 trip to Chicago where I got to meet up with some friends from the Honda/Acura community. I also visited some movie destinations like film locations from Uncle Buck, Home Alone, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the Breakfast Club. Subscribe to Ray's channel!

Ray, does your family want to "adopt" my '12 TL SH-AWD 6MT? It's for sale! LOL Another rare acura. Less than 1300 were made with the 6 speed manual.

[@averytulak]

That's definitely on my list hahaha. Not in the cards right now though

[@TysonHugie]

I want that tooooo! Haha

[@project130r]

Love those! Very underrated cars.

[@BryanW916]

@@project130r i love it too! drives amazingly. i just think its time for a different car. I've had a 4G TL for 9 years. Just need to find a good home for it.

[@BryanW916]

@@TysonHugie buy itttttt!! i'll give you a good deal ;)

[@theopenroadahead]

Such a cool meetup! Glad to see the RSX has gone to a good owner who is obviously taking care of it! I’ll have to give Ray’s Reviews a watch - looking forward to checking it out. That 2012 Accord coupe - definitely brought back some memories (sniffles). Kudos to the owner for keeping it in such good shape!

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks Tim!

[@davidtorres1446]

Acura Man - Liked your whole adventure with your young friend, nice cars. Loved taking us to all those locations of those classic movies, loved each one of them. Great video, Dave from El Paso

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks Dave

[@golfcon]

Good to see my old hometown Chicago…. Great video of cars and sightseeing

[@TysonHugie]

Glad you enjoyed it! Chicago is a great city.

[@averytulak]

That's funny. I was like.. when is he going to show the home alone house? Oh there it is!! That PMC is absolute perfection, Long Beach blue is definitely my favorite from the color palette on the PMC congrats on the car to Ray and the family enjoy it!

[@TysonHugie]

Definitely, such a great color

[@michaelbergschneider2446]

Great video. Nice tour of the North Shore suburbs. So beautiful up there. The cicadas are truly crazy. Where I live on the north side of the city, we don’t have any this year. Thank goodness!

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks Michael!

[@gregorypalmer2147]

Tyson, shot out from Greg in Madison, I wish I would have known you were in the area I would have stopped by with my 94 Acura Legend 6 speed coupe. If you remember you are the reason I ended up with the Legend over the green Integra from Dallas I think your friend in Utah ended up with.

[@TysonHugie]

Wow, yes! It's great to hear from you again. Hit me up with an email and let me know what you're up to. I seem to recall you also having a Cherokee and/or an Element. Hope summer is treating you well.

[@natemeanor4247]

love chicago! hopefully i can make it over this year

[@TysonHugie]

Worth a visit for sure

[@MrHondablink]

5:10 That was actually 02-06 here in the States.

[@TysonHugie]

Yep, good catch!

[@project130r]

Awesome meetup! Would have happily driven over from MI to attend. Some great rides there. 👌

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks Erik! Yes this was simply a lunch meet-up, and it was enough work to try and remember all my IL people, let alone surrounding states. Haha. We will cross paths soon I hope!

[@project130r]

You bet, no worries! Trips like this are often on a tight schedule, for sure. Glad you could film the experience!

[@TheMcesar84]

Wish I knew about this, I'm just down the road in Des Plaines (next to ORD). Based on the cicada noise, im guessing this was a week or so ago. Those things have finally dissipated here since then thankfully, and I can once again crack the windows without fear of trespass.

[@TysonHugie]

It was June 23. That's cool you're so close to that area

[@DanN1HondaFan1985]

Too bad the first video you had taken stopped, I got cut out. ☹️. My car is an EXL because it has a leather interior as opposed to cloth in the EX which you said in the reshoot. There aren’t any exterior visual clues to tell the difference though, only on the V6 models. Didn’t know you were going to interview us, otherwise I would’ve said more about my Honda. And I was nervous meeting you and everyone for the first time. Hope we can do this again!

[@TysonHugie]

This was all very spontaneous. Glad you came out.

[@DanN1HondaFan1985]

@@TysonHugie. Hope you didn’t mind my comment correcting you on my car designation. 😃. Still haven’t tried the headlight polishing kit yet.

[@DBMD7]

I wished I could have been there. I live 15 minutes north of Northbrook. I would have never imagined you would be visiting the Chicago area and been so close to me. Would have been nice to meet you and see these vehicles. I have never seen any of these on the road when I am out and about but with our salty winter roads, I am sure these only get driven in the Summer here. Great content as always. Hope you enjoy your stay in our area.

[@TysonHugie]

Thank you! Did not realize you were in that area, and I guess I don't have your contact info either. It was a great visit - back to the desert heat now!

[@FirstHillSeattle]

Great video as usual. I would love to see the Planes, Trains and Automobiles house. Even though it’s just really at the end of the film, what a scene it is. My family’s tradition is to watch that every Thanksgiving. I think I can quote the entire thing!

[@TysonHugie]

Same here! Great tradition

[@Seazap]

Awesome video! Cool cars and some great sightseeing.

[@TysonHugie]

Thanks Mark!

Northbrook!!! My old hood 😊😊😊

[@TysonHugie]

@@rushmatic it’s a great area!

[@hulz99]

Wow my parents and bro live nearby! Wish we could have come out to see the sweet rides :)

Small world!

@@TysonHugie Sunset Ridge Road where you driving the TLX is fairly bumpy so a great road to test the suspension 😂

[@acura2g]

Fun times in Chicago. Ironic to be there on the same weekend. Skydeck was a place we visited too. Not a fan of heights but that was a fun experience

[@TysonHugie]

Yes that was crazy to miss you by just a day or two!

[@theguythatcouldfly]

Fun stuff! What is Ray's channel? The link isn't working right now.

See if this one works! www.youtube.com/@rayreviewscars

[@milenacarvana770]

Had I known you were going to Chicago IL I would have joined you there in one of my Acuras. I'm in the next state over in Missouri. Also the Cicadas are gone now,it's quiet again.

[@TysonHugie]

Would be nice to meet you sometime.

[@milenacarvana770]

@@TysonHugie we will.

Damn, I wish I knew, I could’ve come through! Skokie is only like 15 minutes away

Wow you are close

I liked the Uncle Buck part 😅

[@805NAVE]

Did y’all see that red MDX back there though?

[@TysonHugie]

I must have missed it! They should have been included as an honorable mention

[@AndrewM83]

John Candy was the best!

[@TysonHugie]

Agreed, love his stuff

[@brandon_buildsDIY]

If I had known about this would have brought my car out. I actually played cricket against that Indian guy that drives the silver rsx.

[@TysonHugie]

Small world!

[@douglasdowns4846]

Hmmm, I wonder how many mustangs you sold because of those great reinactments?

[@TysonHugie]

Haha, Hertz hooked us up with a decent rental.
