NSXPO 2000 - Thursday, Oct. 19

Pa190001.jpg (52906 bytes)I met with two other NSX owners for a caravan down the Blue Ridge Parkway to NSXPO. The weather was perfect and traffic was relatively light. The scenery along the Parkway is fantastic.

 

Pa190002.jpg (81046 bytes)The fall foliage was at it's peak along much of the Parkway. 

 

Pa190003.jpg (80865 bytes)This is also the "debut" of my new '98 Blue/Black NSX-T. It is fully Comptech modified (supercharger, headers, exhaust, 13" brake kit, Simmons wheels, Pro suspension kit, oil pump, non-compliance toe links, etc.) and I am really enjoying it!

Pa190010.jpg (61921 bytes)We were around 5,400 ft. at the overlook. The top of the mountain has a trail so you can hike up there easily. This area is near Mt. Mitchell which is the highest point east of the Mississippi River.

(just kidding!)

Pa190018.jpg (57825 bytes)Miled Salheb (NY) flew all the way to NSXPO to help people wash their cars. What a great guy!

 

Pa200019.jpg (75478 bytes)This year's memento is a big woven throw rug/blanket/?. I'm not sure exactly what it's called but it's pretty neat. It's also pretty big - that's a full size bed in my hotel room it's covering.
