For one Phoenix man, his love for Acura began at a young age, and it has resulted in him gathering a sizable collection of vehicles from the premium car marque.
As the Barrett-Jackson car auction returns to Scottsdale for their annual event, we spoke with a Phoenix man who has built an impressive collection to learn more about why he is so passionate about a particular brand of cars.Meet Tyson Hugie.Hugie has owned 55 cars since he turned 16, and all but four of them have been made by Honda or Acura.When one walks into Hugie's garage at his Central Phoenix home, it's a bit like venturing into a 1990's automotive time capsule.
The event was complete with a red carpet arrival for Hugie and his mother Tia, who was along for the ride.As it turns out, it was Hugie's mother who started his love for Acura,"That was about, what, 25, 30 years ago," Tia said.In 1996, Hugie's mother bought a used Acura Integra. It was a car cool enough to spark interest in Hugie that has now spanned more than two decades."As an impressionable kind of teenager, it stuck with me.
