    Sorry to tell you folks, the NSX is NOT an exotic.

    I know. I had an 01, which I bought new In my five years of ownership I: 1. Never pulled a muscle getting in or out. 2. Never had to install a new steering rack because the old one was bad from new. 3. Never had the shifter not go into reverse because of a part that was supposed to be...

    My new ride!

    Yes.. I saw.. it's up to 400 HP now, but is not street legal and adds $44K to the cost of the car. There is another turbo kit that was sold to a few Lotus owners and they are now involved in a law suit against the maker.. Most of the cars that had it installed have blown up. Apparently...

    My new ride!

    I'd say I got a good deal. Mine is a left over 05. MSRP was 52K. I paid low 40's. 06's are about 2-3K off of list. You can find used ones from motivated sellers for around 36-38K. The exige is more of a track car. I don't think the top comes off, you can't see out of the back window, and...

    My new ride!

    I'm really happy with it. I'm getting 33MPG just running back and forth to work, and I'm having fun doing it. I'm planning on keeping it for a while; maybe as long as I kept the NSX. I went into it with the mindset that it is what it is... and that is a fun toy, not a real car. It took the...

    My new ride!

    Wish me luck! It's no NSX; very different experience. I'm in the right mindframe to enjoy it. Great fun and cornering power. If a piece falls off, glue it back on :) I"ll be lurking in the shadows. Y'all be good now, ya here. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img...

    Will an Elise satisfy me?

    I bought it. I bought a new chrome orange Elise. I'll pick it up in a few days and drive it home (about 6 hour trip). We will see.

    Will an Elise satisfy me?

    Thanks for all your comments. I know the S2000 is as well built as any Honda, but I want an uncommon car as a toy. Fragile clams? red or white sauce? I couldn't resist :)

    Will an Elise satisfy me?

    I'm getting the itch for another fun car and I'm thinking of an Elise. I didn't drive my NSX as much as I wanted to because I wanted to keep it like new and was afraid to get that 'first chip'. I think this was because the NSX is so finely finished and is revered for its build quality and...

    Well.... It's that time... Good bye to a great group.

    Like I said.. don't feel sad... feel happy for the guy who bought it. Now he gets to live his dream :) And the car gets to be used more. It's all good

    Well.... It's that time... Good bye to a great group.

    Thanks guys. Damn. if I were impulsive I'd go after that 650HP turbo listed on eBay. I'll watch it from afar. Concerning the S6, I wanted a fun car, but an every day car and I need a wagon. The S6 has 300 ft lbs of torque at around 3,000 rpm and really feels snappy. It has all the bells...

    Well.... It's that time... Good bye to a great group.

    It's been four good years, but I finally did it. I sold my car even though it felt bad, I believe I did the right thing for me. But I didn't sell it to just anyone. I found a GREAT home for it where it will be happy, and more importantly, it will bring joy, excitment and happiness to its new...

    Thank you all for your interest. The car is sold and went to a VERY good home. The new owner is a Prime member and perhaps he will introduce himself. Best regards, MikeC

    2001 Yellow/Onyx Perfect One-owner - Vin JH4NA21601T000046 I’m offering my perfect 01 Yellow/Onyx NSX for sale again. I just bought an Audi S6 and I just don’t think I’ll use the NSX very much. It would probably be happier being used rather than sitting in the garage. I am the original...

    Swimming pool cleaner

    My brother has an Aquabot that you plug-in and it crawls around on the bottom and sweeps dirt into a collection bin. He is very unahppy with it to the point that he won't use it any more. He got a kreepy krawly to replace it. My friend has a Ray Vac that operates on pressure. It does a...

    Audi S6 information.

    My daily driver is a 97 Audi A6 wagon. I was recently looking at the S4, but it is a bit small for me and I really do use the wagon all the time to haul things around the house. I'm thinking up upgrading to an 02 or 03 S6 Avant and have a daily driver that is a bit more fun. Does anyone...

    Impressions of my new NSX

    Impressions of my new NSX

    Hello and welcome. I love hearing you tell all the things I feel about my own car. I have a few observations too: 1. 2nd gear. Mine is the same. Very common. nothing wrong. 2. I think someone replaced the factory CD changer with an aftermarket one that plays MP3's. I did that with...

    I'm so confused my head hurts.

    I'm so confused my head hurts.

    I tried.. yes.. It's a performing car.. to be sure. It is a big car. lots of wavy fiberglass, SMC, or whatever plastic they make them out of these days. I didn't want to test drive one. I just looked in the window. I've been spoiled by nice things I guess. I couldn't live with the cheap...

    I'm so confused my head hurts.

    You are exactly right. One other observation... I would have no problem driving the S4 every day BECAUSE it is nothing special. A fun car, but not exotic.. and really just an A4 with a big engine and upgrades. It will depreciate heavily whether its driven or not.

    I'm so confused my head hurts.

    So here's the deal. I have a compulsion to keep my vehicles as nice and clean as possible. In the case of the NSX, that means not using it much and only parking it in careful locations. Because of that I've put 17K miles on it in 4 years and it doesn't have the first scratch inside and out...

    Courtesy trade. Did I act inappropriatly?

    It doesn't seem fair. Whenever the same car gets sold, the sales tax is paid on it again and again. When you sell a car and buy another one you need to pay tax on the new one unless you trade in the old one. Then you save the tax on the traded amount. You should be able to save the tax...

    Courtesy trade. Did I act inappropriatly?

    You don't pay sales tax to a private seller. You pay it to the state. They collect it when you apply for registration (tags).
