A devoted Acura NSX owner recently completed an incredible transcontinental drive, piloting his prized vehicle from the southernmost tip of the continental U.S. to the remote Arctic Circle and back. This extensive journey, covering more than 13,000 miles, showcased both the durability of his sports car and the adventurer's unwavering passion.
Man's Remarkable Acura NSX Expedition from Florida to Alaska's Arctic Circle
In a testament to automotive enthusiasm, John Lange, a self-proclaimed 'lunatic' with a deep affection for the Acura NSX (having owned 14 over the years), undertook an epic road trip. What began as a plan to simply drive into Canada for an NSX owner's convention in Seattle on August 5th, soon expanded significantly. Lange's ambition grew, leading him to extend his route to Alaska and ultimately to the Arctic Circle. To ensure a truly comprehensive journey, he commenced his adventure in Key West, Florida, the southernmost point of the continental United States. After departing Key West, he made a stop in Asheville for vehicle maintenance, then continued his northbound trek. The expedition was largely a direct drive, though he paused for a few days in Banff, Canada, to enjoy some hiking amidst nature. Upon reaching Alaska, particularly during the final push towards the Arctic Circle, Lange's distinctive white NSX began to attract significant attention. His journey was not without incident; a dusty road caused clutch issues in his car's transmission bell housing, but this only added to the narrative of his rugged trip. Alaskan locals quickly took notice of the unique sight, and his story rapidly circulated through local car enthusiast groups on social media. After his northern conquest, Lange is now making his way down the West Coast to reconnect with friends before returning home.
This incredible journey serves as an inspiring example of how a profound passion for automobiles can ignite truly remarkable adventures. It highlights the spirit of exploration and the joy of pushing boundaries, not just for the vehicle, but for the driver themselves. Lange's story also underscores the unexpected connections and community that can form around shared interests, even in the most remote corners of the world. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the greatest adventures begin with a simple desire to keep driving.
