    New owner of a '98 GPW

    Hey everyone,

    After months of searching, I'm excited to say that I'm the proud new owner of this '98 GPW 6sp with 117k miles! I picked it up last week from SoS. The car is a product of their pilot to develop a scaled down version of Honda Japan's NSX factory refresh program, which included a complete paint job and an engine rebuild.

    This car is exactly what I was looking for and it was worth the wait. I'm looking forward to driving and enjoying this car and getting more involved on Prime.

    Picking her up from SoS



    Her new home


    With my brother's STi and my Prelude

    Awesome... I'm sure if SoS did the work then it is top notch.

    Beautiful car...

    Sharp car, I remember seeing the for sale posting and thought that someone was going to get a nice ride. SoS has a solid reputation.

    Enjoy!

    Absolutely stunning -- never was a big fan of white, but on the NSX it looks spectacular. No doubt that car is 100% too. Cheers, and congrats! Jay

    Congratulations on the purchase. It's too bad you live so close to SOS. You are going to down there every other day from here on.
