    speeding ticket in NY state (Albany)

    Hi everyone, I received a speeding ticket in Albany on the NY Thruway. Even worse was that it was speeding in a work zone (78 in a 55). I realize my stupidity and accept full responsibility for it. I saw signs warning that speeding is strictly enforced in work zones and I chose to ignore...

    got into an car accident... again...

    Last year shortly after Thanksgiving, I was involved in an accident. Someone pulled out of their driveway without looking for on-coming traffic. Today, a car was waiting to make a left turn ahead. So there were a line of cars waiting behind this car. I was also waiting for a good 30-40...

    Hi, Just wondering if anyone here had their NSX recognized as a collector car in the state of NJ. The main purpose is to exempt the vehicle from inspection. You still have to bring your vehicle to a state inspection site, but they don't do any emissions or safety inspections. They take a...

    opinions on 07/08 Honda Civic Si coupe?

    What a week.. First, my daily driver Civic dies after 280k miles. Well, not dead yet, but it overheats so it's possible. Since the Civic was dead, I start driving my NSX to work and back. Today, I decide to meet some friends for dinner, so I park on the street. It's a large enough space...

    emissions testing / state inspection

    Hi everyone, My state inspection is due for my 1992 NSX. I'm a little concerned that I will not pass. Even when the car is fully warmed up, there seems to be a little bit of visible smoke out of the exhaust. It's not a big puff, but more like sparce vapors. The check engine light isn't on...
