    As long as I have continued access to my uncle's red Barchetta, I'm OK with this.

    Is this a thing?

    I see this behavior on I-5 in California. It doesn't help that it's just two lanes for most of the way. Horsepower helps in this situation -- if the guy you're passing tries to play this game, punch it and show him who's boss.

    How are you guys able to afford a nsx 2.0???

    I've been saving money for it since it was first announced, many years ago. I have enough for the car, but now I'm not sure I'm going to buy it. Priorities change over many years...

    No AM Radio or CD player

    Hopefully it at least has a cassette player, like the original NSX. Tradition!

    Miami vs Dallas

    There's no ocean in Dallas. That leaves it right out for me. Need to be near the ocean.

    NSX 2.0 sighting -- chasing one through a canyon (not my video)

    Crap. I looked, but I didn't see it.

    Caveat Emptor

    This explains why the Toyota Prius has been a complete failure. Hugh, you're letting your politics get in the way of your gearheadedness.

    BimmerPost member's drool worthy garage/man cave

    It's an epic garage for sure, but a little too sterile for my tastes.

    NSX 001 to be sold at Barret Jackson Scottsdale

    I don't think I'd want #001 to be driving as "intended". Number One belongs in a museum. Hopefully there will be plenty more to drive...

    Nice APEX NSX Edition magazine

    Mine is № 06 3782. Not sure what that means. It's a great freebie. I'd like to get a poster of the pic on pages 6-7. Beautiful looking car.

    Driving Pet Peeves

    Actually, this is the correct way to navigate a zipper merge. It's all the others that are doing it wrong and making traffic worse. The beauty of zipper merging, or why you should drive ruder

    IDK if anyone has seen the numbers in perspective but...

    The 1st Gen NSX was always a car that couldn't be defined by its numbers. You can go down every stat and find cars that beat it. Haters do this all the time, but I'm not aware of anyone who has actually driven an NSX that gives these haters any credence. Behind the wheel all those stats fade...

    And the most comfortable car 2016 award goes to...

    I've driven my Odyssey thousands of miles, all over the southwest, without any discomfort whatsoever -- and I suffer from fairly severe back pain. It's the second most comfortable car I've owned (after the NSX). I realize that minivans aren't particularly "cool", but for comfort, practicality...

    How do you mentally deal with major traffic on a daily basis

    Last time I did a job search I limited my search to one freeway exit north and two exits south of my home. Anything further was just not worth the commute time. It took a little longer to find a job, but having a <10 minute commute was worth it. Since I presume you need this job, my advice to...

    Los Angeles Vacation!

    I'm a science-y kind of guy, so I love the La Brea Tarpits. The entire paleohistory of them fascinates me. I was walking around the grounds where the tarpits are and saw a dead bird stuck in tar. This kind of blew my mind, as I always thought of the pits as traps for mammoths and sabretooths...

    Future Second Owner

    That's right! When we both get our Gen 2s, we'll have to compare VINs. What are the odds... ?

    Future Second Owner

    The new NSX is looking to be the most exciting car I've seen since, well, the first NSX. But I won't be buying one new. I'm not ready to queue up and drop deposits and suffer inevitable dealer markup if the car proves as popular as I hope. Nope, I'll be looking to be a second owner. While the...

    Asshat Parking Story from bimmerforums.com

    Someone in the bimmer thread gave the best advice: park in the back, away from the masses (the walk won't kill you). Find a space next to a median, and park with the passenger door close to the median. Even if someone parks next to you they will likely exit from the other side, and keep your car...
