April, 2002:
I'm in the service department at Pikes Peak Acura to pick
up my '93; (had an alignment done). My Wife walked up to the showroom
while I was chatting with the guys in the service dept.
A few moments later my Wife comes back to the service dept. in an
overly-excited demeanor. She kept saying "you have to come up here and see this car, the color just is amazing!!"
As I'm walking up to the showroom I see a brand-new '02 LBB.
The exterior color was stunning but at the same time the Blue interior
caught me off-guard. I kept saying to her "but the interior is Blue".
She told me she liked the interior and wanted me to buy it.
I told her I really like my Black '93.....but she insisted, she wanted me
to have it and (as she put it), "you deserve it, I want you to have it".
We discussed it that night, put it in our budget and purchased it the next
morning.
8 years, just turned a little over 50,000 miles, we have taken it on
6 long road trips including 3 cross-country. We just returned from this last
trip down to Phoenix, to Tucson, over to Alamogordo,NM, Lincoln, NM
and back home. (about 1,900 miles R/T)
Ever since I was 16 and saw my very 1st NSX in Boulder, CO, I always wanted to own this car. Over that span of time I have owned 5 different NSX's however, as an original owner, I can attest to how truly amazing this car is. I am the type of driver that loves to "drive"; which simply means, in 50+k miles, every time I have driven it, (no matter where I needed to go)
my '02 has been wrapped-up to 8,000 at least once. (typically a lot more)
I've topped 160+mph enough times I lost count; my best is 172mph in NV
on US HWY 50. My Point is, following the break-in, this car has been
driven rather hard and fast its entire life. In 8 years, 50+k "spirited" miles,
I have never, ever taken it to the dealer for a unscheduled problem.
I have never had one single problem with it. The Japanese TRULY made an
amazing car! My personal opinion is, the NSX is the best car ever made. I have had many opportunities to buy Porsche, Ferrari, zo6, thought about the new GT-R for a momen; but....IDK....something about the NSX; I compare other cars in this class to the NSX. I always find myself thinking
"it's no NSX"........but that's just me.
The next 8, 10, however many years are on the horizon.....
Here are a few pics from our latest trip
