Hi all, I hope to be a future owner one day. That day is kinda far for me though seeing as I'm only 18 ahha. Anyways ever since I seen my friends NSX 2 yrs ago, I fell in love.
To be truthful, I disliked Hondas when I first started messing with cars when I was 12. I got introduced into cars by my friends GTI "337 limited edition anniversary model". I always helped him work on it and what not bc my small hands and stuff can fit into some very tight spaces. IDK why I never liked Hondas, maybe cause majority of the cars are FF (disregard AP1 n 2/NA1 n 2)? I don't like FF cars at all (not even my buddies GTI n his is very nice. He has sponsorship n all that). Well I started really working on my first car when I was 14 with my cousin. It was a 1991 240sx with a ka-t swap. I researched the crap outta it to find out what I wanted and me and him built it. It was fun and all of that but the ka eventually blew along with the t25 turbo I used.. Then when I turned 17, I had to buy a reliable car for college seeing as I was going to be living 2 hrs away from home. My mom chose the 07 Honda Civic SI (she chose Civic bc it was a reliable car and I wanted a sportyish car). I bough the car with my own money n continue to pay for it with my own money. I put 7,000 down and pay around 370 a month. I've been working for my parents restaurant since I was 8 (typical asian family where everyone works in the rest). I saved for a bit to pay for it, but my eye was always on the NSX. I realize the insurance MIGHT be too high for my age atm (idk hwo comparable it is to the 4 grand a year I paid on my SI when I first bought it). But my insurance is down to 2 grand a year after a whole lot of safe driving/grades/switching companies.
Anyways I just checked on geico how much it would be for me to get a NSX now (insurance wise) and it is not tooo much higher to my amazement. The only problem is how reliable is it as a DD. Especially if I have to drive back home (2 hrs) every so often... I can possibly get a NSX now, but I have to figure out how reliable it is compared to a regular daily driven car, not to other exotics..
I really don't like the front end looks of the NA2, but then I like the C32 engine n 6 speed so I was thinking 98 NA1 would be my dream car.. Funnily enough I have never driven/ridden in a NSX, but my friend that owns a GTR used to have one and he described it to me. He said it was unbelieveable, it drives better then the GTR but not as much power. You can't really understand till you actually drive one, so hopefully someone will let me eventually drive one..
I have a lot of experience driving cars (08 Vette, 97 Supra, 96 300zxtt, 07 s600 v12 just to name a few.. I also do a little bit of autoxing..)
Anyways on a second note, I was planning on going to med school (cardiologist maybe) in college. Anyone in this field n got any tips/advice for me?
