Please get Uehara-san drunk and get him to spill out replacement NSX secrets!!!

There will be a room reserved at the hotel equipped with a full assortment of medieval torture devices for the exclusive purpose of extracting information from our Japanese guest.

Of course DocL and Armando have asked about renting the room for "recreational" purposes on an hourly basis.
