Any Maryland NSXs?

[Old Lemon]

Hello,

This is a long shot but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask. Would any Maryland owners be willing to show me their first gen NSX? I have always wanted one and am coming up on finally being able to get one but would really like to see one up close in person first. I have bought a 2005 Lotus Elise sight unseen and although it did go smoothly I would prefer to not do that again. I randomly found Daisy automotive while exploring backroads in Clarksville and they usually had a bunch of NSXs outside at least a year or so ago.

Not sure what I could offer in return. A ride in my Elise? Maybe some lunch? In any case, just thought I would put this out there.

Thanks

@esqu1re Hey I can't PM you since I don't have 10 posts or what not. Someone else has already contacted me to show me theirs. PM me your email if you would still like to meet. I would be more than happy to trade rides if you would want to.

I am really appreciative of you guys. Thanks a lot

We know each other! Perhaps an NSX/Lotus sandwich?

 

[Old Lemon]

I'm all for it if you guys are

 

[esqu1re]

Happy to have a mini meetup with you two!

We had a tentative plan for Saturday 9/9 in the afternoon. I am free basically anytime on the weekends except on 9/23 at the moment. So whatever works for you guys.

My Elise and a couple other cool cars i had a couple years ago

I've only driven those cars in Gran Turismo. I bet you got a lot of attention in the white one!

 

[Old Lemon]

Definitely a lot. I didn't have it for long though. Took a gamble bought it sigh un seen in japan and had it imported. Turned out to burn 1 quart of oil every 100ish miles so needed a rebuild. I wasn't in love with it and honestly it drove pretty bad even after updating some suspension pieces. Sold it pretty soon after that.

That car is the reason why I made this post really. I would like to experience an NSX before I go all in. A don't meet your heroes kind of deal.

The cappuccino though. I loved that car and regretted selling it the moment it was driving away. If I ever get the room I am for sure adding another to my garage.

A wise thought, but the NSX is one of those rare cars where it drives much better than the specs suggest it would. There's really nothing like it- I think you'll be hooked. Most people are.

Where in MD are you? I’m up 83 close to the PA line in Parkton/Freeland area. Usually there are a few NSX at the cars and coffee on Saturday mornings in Hunt Valley.

I was at Daisy last week and there were six NSX in the shop getting work done. Ben gets cars from all over, even overseas. He has been taking care of all my cars for about 35 years now as I worked my way from CRX to NSX.

I am in Jessup right outside Fort Meade. I am also just not a morning person so I rarely ever go to meets. Hunt Valley and Katie's is just way too early.

We don’t call him the NSX Whisperer for no reason!

Mission accomplished. We swapped drivers' seats and had a blast comparing the experiences on some straight and twisty stuff. The Lotus kicks you in the butt at 6K, and ZOOM, kinda like an s2000 but with all-purpose analog technology. Very cool.

 

[Old Lemon]

Thank you so much for meeting with me. Truly a it'll never happen if you don't ask experience. I definitely think an nsx is a meet your hero kind of car.

 

[ajmr2]

Likewise with your Lotus. Thanks!
