    why people sell their nsx???

    I've previously owned six 911's and have been intrigued lately with the new 911-S w/ PDK. Went to the Porsche dealer and requested a test drive. I was told there were no test cars available, however the salesperson (who I've known for years) asked if he could drive my 00' NSX. He's had years...

    Changing demographics of NSX owners?

    I love that so many young guys are driving NSX's. I also love that young girls pull along side my car...smile big...and have no idea behind the tinted windows sits a 62 year old fart savoring the moment...and the drive. I think my NSX will keep me feeling young and with it for years to come.

    NSX Owners who left & returned

    My story.... I bought my first NSX, a 2000' 6 years ago and have loved every moment with it. Last year I put a deposit down on an R8. Recently I was informed that my pre-orderd car was due for delivery this month. It was a tough decision, made a little easier by the fact I'm not made of...

    Cracked Windshield

    I had mine replaced a year ago. I was really surprised...thinking that a windshield for a NSX would take some time to order and expensive...it took over night...at a total cost of $135 by an independent. My CLK with rain sensor etc was 5X that. You gotta love Honda.

    Do any of you plan on keeping the NSX forever?

    I currently have a #1 spot for a new Audi R8. I have been preparing myself for a year now to sell my 00' NSX, and about everything else I own to get it. The closer I get to delivery the more I realize what a great car and great value I have in the NSX. This April's Automobile Magaizine...

    Move me over to the Owner's Thread!

    CONGRATULATIONS!! You're with a great dealership. Four years ago I flew from Portland, Oregon east to Wisconsin to buy my dream car...a 2000 NSX from Brookfield Acura. It only had 2500 miles at the time. I drove it home to Portland. Say howdy to John Vanos for me...he took time to go over...

    EVERY ONE VOTE! (please read this!)

    Honda needs to take a lesson from Audi... their RS4 is a great front engine car...their mid engine R8 is the supercar.

    Do the local police Hate on your NSX?

    No problems in Portland, Or....I've been driving it for 4 years and 18,000 miles and all I've gotten are thumbs up and smiles from the law. I do keep the RPM's down when they're close...the RM exhaust can attract a lot of attention.

    Don't laugh...i dried my car with my leaf blower

    Last weekend I waxed my NSX to a beautiful gloss finish. I always hate that first car wash after the waxing when, no matter how soft that 100% cotton towel, you end up with light swirl marks.. This weekend I washed the car, flooded the rinse away till the water was sheeting...then went at it...

    NSX out of storage...on the road and loving it.

    February in Oregon...72 degrees and sunny!...Driving with the top off!... OK...we've used just enough aerosol and cut down the correct number of trees in the Rain Forest. Sorry California. Hope things improve in your area soon. We feel for you.

    What did you do when you first get your NSX?

    Last summer I flew from Portland OR to Milwaukie WI to pick up my 00' Red NSX and drive it home. Two miles from the dealership I noticed a rear latch open light was on and pulled over to close it. Tried to start the car and...nothing! Tried again and again...nothing. This wasn't the way my...

    Do women swoon at the mere sight of your NSX?

    Similar story here...I've owned six 911's over the years, a C-5 recently, and last year my first NSX...a 2000. This is the first sports car my wife really loves...and she can't explain why. She's even suggesting I order the next gen NSX. Who's to complain?

    My wife also appreciates fine automomiles...but she's very opiniated. I've owned several 911's over the years and she could care less about any of them...take em' or leave em' attitude. When I bought a C-5 Corvette, she had a very definite opinion...for my birthday she bought me a red...

    How much time did you spend searching for your NSX before buying?

    I wanted an NSX for a long time, but the last year I got serious. I spent 9 months hanging around here and other web sites learing all I could. I decided to go for a 97' or newer, then spent the next 3 months on AutoTrader, Yahoo, E-bay, and just about everything cataloging all cars in my...
