    Couple GPW shots

    Here is the link for the clubs 2006 activites. Take a look and let me know if something is of interest. I will work things out to attend the event in Harbor Springs. Perhaps we can hit the back roads again. I'm sure you can keep up with the 911. :smile: http://www.sempca.org/calendar/index.html

    Couple GPW shots

    That was a fun afternoon. Great roads around Petoskey!!! I just changed my sig to reflect the car I added last month. The GTO does not replace the NSX. I found the GTO w/2,500 at a GM dealer and it was an excutive evaluation vehicle (allows GM to right down cars that they have excess inventory...

    Couple GPW shots

    Hey I remember that day! The car was sold in November and now resides in DC. I think Alex is hanging around the site (I found him here looking for a car) so at least he can see what his new ride will look like when better weather arrives. Do miss the car.

    Owner no more....

    The 9.3 works well in the snow. It also has stability management which saved my but at least once last winter! Over all it seems to be a nice car. I get 25/26 MPG during the summer months driving it to work. I don't know how Saab will stay in business though. Their cars are nice but there is...

    Owner no more....

    I have never even driven the Z so I guess that will be the next step. I found an 05 Z, locally, with 4k miles for $24K and there is a 05 M3 at a Birmingham dealer for about $48 with similar miles. I know that you can't even compare the two cars but at $24K I won't have a problem flogging the Z...

    I got one!!!!

    Your welcome Alex. It was a great pleasure to have met you. You have a great car to enjoy. I really enjoyed the time that I had with it and agree others here that even though it's a bit long in tooth it is still an outstanding performer! Keep her clean. I hate a dirty car! Dave

    Owner no more....

    Last night I watched the NSX drive off with a new owner at the wheel. I really enjoyed the car and this forum has been a wealth of information during the time I have owned it. I was not actually looking to sell but one day a few weeks ago I was looking at the WTB's and found Alex's posting and...

    1st oil change MI

    Sorry, for the late reply but I have been traveling. Auto Europe charges $150 per month for heated but there is a place on Woodward (accross the street from the Pontiac truck plant) that has non heated storage for $90. I can get you a phone number for either if you have an interest. A co-worker...

    1st oil change MI

    Both the NSX and 911 are parked for the winter. I only have a two car garage so the 911 is going into off site heated storage (through Auto Europe in Birmingham if anyone is looking for storage options) and the NSX will stay in my garage. I assume that you store one or more of your toys?

    1st oil change MI

    Happy to hear you had a good experience. I received a call from Suburban about an hour ago letting me know that my new rotors were in stock. The parts gal said that they had an NSX in the shop today. My 911 will be going into storage in a week or two.

    Would this send red flags?

    If you have any question about purchasing a vehicle like the NSX I would do a PPI (Pre Purchase Inspection). Do a search and you should find more on this. Your going to be spending big bucks to purchase this car and the cost to repair an NSX can be very expensive, not unlike other low volume...

    1st oil change MI

    Looks like Suburban is going to get a bunch of year end NSX business in early November. I am scheduled for oil filter and front rotor replacement on the afternoon of the 10th. Mike worked on my car this past spring and did a nice job.

    Repair of BBS Wheels

    Did you call BBS? Last time I checked they were still in Georgia. I had three piece BBS RS wheels a number of years ago and the inner rim was cracked. I sent it back to BBS and they replaced just that portion of the rim. Expensive but your dealing with forged alum and I was not about to have...

    NSX newbie/ convert

    Not sure what year 911's you have owned but you will find that an NSX has a more modern feel like a 996. My 87 is a much more involved drive as you really are working with the car rather than riding in it as is the case with the NSX, IMHO. I think you will really enjoy the NSX and if you have...

    Fall color tour

    Aaron, I was a pleasure meeting you as well. Thanks for taking the pics and posting. Sorry we were only available for the one afternoon. We slept in on Sunday (I'm up by 4:45 work days and by 6:00 on Saturdays) and it was about 10:15 when we were ready to leave. We decided to drive south...

    Fall color tour

    Thanks for the heads up Tim. Too bad things will not work out. It's going to be far to nice on Saturday to be sitting in a meeting. :smile: Aaron, we are still planning to drive up on Saturday morning. If you still want to do the drive its ok and if not that will be fine as well. If you...

    Fall color tour

    Thanks for the map Poet_x. We will plan to be there at 12:00. At this point it looks like good weather. I think we will have to let you lead the tour as I doubt either of us can keep up with Tim in his wife's car! :smile:

    Fall color tour

    Poet_x, We are planning to drive up on Saturday morning the 8th and should arrive Bay Harbor area by 11:00 am. I would prefer to take the run north of Harbor Springs on Saturday if possible. I am not sure about Sunday but might be up for Old Mission. Did the Napa Valley thing a few days ago so...

    NSXs take over "the Mountain" (Bathurst, Australia)

    Great pictures! I have watched the race at Bathurst (it’s long something like 12 hours) a few times here on Speed Channel but we have not had coverage of racing in Australia in the past few years. We used to get the Touring Car series which was loads of fun to watch. You have a beautiful...

    Fall color tour

    Poet_x, Sorry but it looks like I picked the weekend of NSXPO. I guess I am still sleeping this morning! I should have looked a bit closer at your posts. I am going to have to stay with this weekend as I will be in hot water with my girlfriend if I go the weekend before or after. If anyone has...

    Fall color tour

    Poet_x, Not sure what weekend you were thinking about for the tour but I just made reservations for the Inn at Bay Harbor on the 8th of October. See link. I am planning on driving up early Saturday morning (7:00 am departure) to beat the traffic and will drive the NSX if the weather is going to...

    Me vs 430

    I can't remember the last time I got into a street race, 25 years ago perhaps, and don't think it's a good idea at all but I'm more than happy to dodge a street racer than a drunk behind the wheel! "Consider the following stats, compiled from a variety of national and state transportation...

    NSX vs 996TT

    I think this holds true for anyone who is passionate for one brand or type of car. I can see this when I visit a Porsche forum or this one. I really like all cars if they have something to offer. The only real allegiance I have to any one brand is Porsche but I am more than happy to point out...
