This came up recently at a discussion with other NSX owners, probably after a few too many drinks. It started with the question: "If you had to professionally repaint your car but it couldn't be in the original color, what color would you choose?" The debate quickly added a constraint that it...

With the prices of the early NSX fluctuating so much in the market, how did you go about determining what the actual value of your car is for insurance purposes? With all of the work that has been done to my car, the standard replacement cost wouldn't even come close to replacing it with...

I went through this in Fairfax, VA. I was caught on the Dulles toll road for doing more that 20 over the limit. Trust me, you are about to be in a world of pain. Reckless driving is a misdemeanor in Virginia and can have serious consequences, including jail time, massive fines, and license...

Ben knows what he is doing. He's had my car since last November bringing it back to life, including a lot of extra options I decided to go with that have caused the delay. He's a great guy, communicates well, and does an excellent job. He's not inexpensive, but not because he charges an...

We don't know, but some buyer was interested enough to entertain the starting price so that is a nice trend for the rest of us.

I replaced the aftermarket fake carbon fiber center console in my 1991 that was installed by a previous owner. I couldn't find the black center console that was original, so went with a brand new OEM silver console from the 2002+ cars. It fits perfectly, but wasn't cheap. I would have...

blakedpotato, I saw your car in Ben's shop the last time I was there. Mine is also a 1991 red/black car that has been there for a while. Ben is the best and any work he does is top notch. You're going to love the car and not have to worry about anything now that he is done with it.

Oh, I'll be there for NSXPO in Orlando! - - - Updated - - - Um, no :) I love my car and would like to meet up with you guys in Raleigh, but there is no way that I could get away with this. I'm leaving for Sarasota on that Thursday. Maybe we can do a mini-meet before then in the DC area...

I'd love to make it, but seeing as how I am getting married that Saturday in Florida, the timing isn't great :)

My car should be in Sarasota at that time. It would nice to finally meet you after seeing all of your posts on the other forum.

I'm going to drive down, but it's definitely not cross country since I live in DC. I'd love to caravan down with others on the east coast.

I had two 2001 Audi S4s, both at the same time. Mine was a black manual Avant, and my ex-wife's was a silver automatic sedan. They were purchased within a couple of months of each other. Her car was a total nightmare, requiring two transmissions to be replaced (under warranty) and multiple...

My guess is that the only way to lease first year cars will be to deal with an external leasing company. If you can set up the lease with them and then provide a check to the dealer, you should be able to get it. The dealer gets their money and you get your lease. Leasing through the dealer...

LOL. Where do you put that extra 31.5% in a two seat coupe when you have a passenger? I'm seriously asking, since I'm half Spanish, half Irish, and half English so this is a real problem for me.

I bought my 1991 red/black manual coupe for $25k in October of 2014 with 84k miles. It was in good shape but needed a lot of work to bring it back up to pristine condition, including reversing some of the questionable modifications. I have another $30k in it at this point, but a lot of that...
