VR4ownzU, send me a pm if you're still looking for a car at a REASONABLE price.

Unfortunately, I'm probably "out" on this. Planning a trip to California and this is in conflict. This has always been a good event. If things should change, I'll be there.

Many thanks to Paul for working on this! I'll do my best to attend this fun event and cast my vote for the restaurant. Lake Geneva Inn?

I have no problem with people making minor mods on their exhaust systems to give the car a little bit of a "throaty growl", but some people think that if a little is good, then a LOT must better and turn their cars into a complete nuisance. No, junior, just because you can put a coffee-can...

Of course I'll sell it. It's just a matter of time, and what drives that question is how easily can I maintain the car, i.e. have someone qualified work on it and get parts. I'd like to hang onto it for a while longer, but I've also wanted to own a Porsche since long before the minds at...

I've bought 2 covers from SOS, one for the NSX, one for the S2000. They are both of high quality, fit well, and reasonably priced. I would't hesitate to buy another from them.

I wish that I lived closer to you! I'd bring it by as soon as you could fit me into your schedule! FWIW, the system has been changed from the original to the 134a. Before the recent work, I had a different dealership diagnose it and said it was the evaporator as well, but I'm open to other...

Paul Brylek is a friend of mine, and the "go-to" guy whom we (as well as many others in the Chicago area) use is John Vasos up in Milwaukee. And, as I mentioned, it was John recently who basically echoed your comments about performing a trade off analysis. I really would like to have the a/c...

Old Guy, I've read your posts on Prime for a long time and value what you say. It's tempting to try it myself, but I honestly have neither the patience nor the garage to try this. I guess that, unless I learn of someone who lives near Chicago who has the credibility/qualifications/experience...

Honcho, that's great information and were I a competent mechanic I might follow your advice. The extent of my experience in working on my car is to pull and replace the radio, and (with help) swap the exhaust, replace the window regulators, and change the oil. The thought of trying to pull the...

pbassjo, I'm in a suburb of Chicago. You would THINK that there would be no shortage of good NSX shops around here...and you would be wrong. NSX_n00b, I share many of your thoughts. A couple of weeks ago I briefly discussed this issue with John Vasos, arguably the top NSX tech in the Midwest...

That trailer is a complete waste of an NSX. Better to be used as a parts car than a trailer. He probably tracks his Winnebago.

I'm putting this under "General Discussion" to hopefully reach the most people. My '92's air conditioning doesn't blow cold at all. Took it in to a dealer...they did the dye test and said that it was leaking around the compressor. $1980 later I received the car...it is still not blowing cold...

I would NOT use an NSX as a daily driver...it's too impractical. And I wouldn't park it outside in the elements, either.

Everyone, one more reminder. Andy will not be attending the picnic tomorrow, so if you plan on grilling, please ensure that you bring your own charcoal!

Ok, everyone, the event is tomorrow! Hope to see you there!

Good point, Brad! Yes...wives, girlfriends, daughters, partners, etc.. My wife is much more interested in going on these outings if there will be other women there.

Lake Geneva Picnic and Drive, July 25th!

The Lake Geneva Picnic & Drive has been rescheduled for July 25th! Meeting at Cobb Park, 2101 McDonald Rd., Lake Geneva at 11:00. Guys driving up from Illinois can meet at the Lake Forest Oasis on the Trip-State at 9:45. Mark your calendars!

Everyone, the Lake Geneva Picnic/Drive has been postponed. There are a significant number of people who cannot make it on Saturday, so in order to try to maximize participation we're going to postpone it to a later date. I'm sorry about this; a number of you were looking forward to the drive...

One week from today! As of now, I'm assuming that most of you who have responded to this thread are planning on going, as well as some who have seen Ryan's post on Prime. Everyone shine your cars and hope for some decent weather next week! :smile:

I attended a karting event once where Paul and Jake were both participants. After one race I sat out the next to watch the action. There was enough contact between Paul and Jake's cars in the hairpins to draw the ire of the track staff...I was wondering if they were going to stop Paul and Jake...

It's taken a heavier toll on my bank account than what I expected and permanently occupies half of my garage (leaving my daily driver exposed to the elements year-round). I can't really drive it and leave it parked in public, for I've had too many people leave dings on the doors of my daily...

I'm a former Navy P-3 driver, now working for one of the majors (longer than I care to think about sometimes). Your friends are probably your best source of information - they've all been hired rather recently. Your timing will be good, for the airlines will see A LOT of retirements over the...
