    Future Second Owner

    The new NSX is looking to be the most exciting car I've seen since, well, the first NSX. But I won't be buying one new. I'm not ready to queue up and drop deposits and suffer inevitable dealer markup if the car proves as popular as I hope. Nope, I'll be looking to be a second owner. While the...

    Teen Driving Schools

    My teen is 15 rapidly approaching 16, which means driving time. Recalling how dismal my own driver training was back in the day, I'd like to send her to something more intensive, and hopefully fun as well. Does anyone have any experience with such a school? Here are a couple I'm looking at...

    Future NSX Celebrity: Gabby Douglas?

    Olympic star Gabrielle Douglas can smile, all the way to the bank Gabrielle Douglas can’t keep her smile away, not when she’s doing a complicated sequence of leaps and somersaults on the balance beam, not when she giggles and says she’d like to get an Acura NSX Roadster — “Just like the one in...

    What is GOOGLE planning?

    Several new announcements today from the "Don't be evil" company. Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) My opinion: mostly meh. Smoother graphics and better performance are always welcomed, and the resizable widgets sounds like a cool end-user feature (and a programming headache). The predictive keyboard...

    What is MICROSOFT planning?

    I'm not really looking forward to Windows 8 (so far, I hate the Metro interface), but this seems like a good application of it: Ugly color, but it comes in black too. At least it's not a copy of an Apple product, like so many other manufacturers are making. Microsoft Surface

    Man wins Lambo, then wrecks it.

    Man wins Lambo, then wrecks it The Thrill Of Victory. The Agony of Defeat. Rarely does one person get to experience such highs and lows within mere hours of each other, but when it happens, the comedown is often all the more painful. Just ask Santaquin, Utah resident David Dopp. The Frito-Lay...

    There's a rat in my NSX, what am I gonna do?

    I popped the bonnet this morning, and noticed little piles of rat poop under the hood. Inspecting further, I found a nest made of straw and dead grass under my left headlight. It appears that a rat (or largish mouse) has been using my NSX as his home. I guess I can't fault him for taste... I...

    Do you do a "walkaround" before driving?

    This video scared the crap out of me. (warning: graphic). It seems like it could happen to anyone. A moment of inattention, a bit too hurried, wrong place at wrong time and then life sucks for everyone. I probably won't do a walkaround every time I drive, but I'm going to try...

    NSX sighting on PBS show about PopTech

    My TiVo picked up a show on PBS about Pop!Tech 2005. It had an interesting series of talks about science and art, and ended with a segment about kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen. As he walks one of his sculptures through a car park, he passes the unmistakable back end of an NSX. Here's the video...
