So I am used to people not knowing what my NSX is, as I live in Indiana where every sports car MUST be either a Corvette or a Ferrari according to most people I encounter. Well, a pretty refreshing thing happened today that followed up a surprise last week too.
I just started a new job and one of the ladies that works there came up to me and said, 'Is that your white NSX out there,' to which I confirmed it was, and asked how she knew what it was. 'Well, my husband used to have one. They are wonderful cars'. I was stunned someone knew what it was, and was even more surprised that she and her husand had owned a Sebring Silver one. Then I go out to the parking lot and find a note on my car that says, 'Not that I am hitting on you, but your car is H.O.T.T.!!'.
Today I go in to work and another co-worker sees my laptop background is my car and he says, 'I used to have a car like that,' and I am stunned. Another one? Sure enough, he used to have a '98 NSX-T with a Comptech Supercharger and I-Forged wheels and some other mods. 'Best car ever made,' he said. Again, I agreed.
I had to ponder how unusual it is to have 2 people in my same department (sales) who owned NSXs and loved them. Both sold because they had kids. I told them both that the easier solution would be to do what I did and just buy another car. LOL!!
So how many of you have had people either comment on your NSX, or also have owned one. For Indiana, this was highly unusual.
P.S. -- On the way home I stopped at a grocery store and had a total stranger in a new 3-Series stop me and say, 'That's an NSX right? The best car ever made'. I was so proud of my baby NSX. :redface:
