This was yesterday, but took it out early for a couple of quick errands and then stopped by a Cars n' Coffee at the Starbucks near me that a guy at the Acura dealership told me about. Don't have anything to compare it to, but it looked like a right good turnout. 4, maybe 5 Ferraris, a McLaren P12, half a dozen or so new 'Vettes, about as many old ones, and I don't know how many Porsches, but a bunch, new and classic. A smattering of others, but mine was the only NSX.
It got a lot of attention, I was barely out of the car and there were a half dozen people around it, a lot of "I haven't seen one of these in a while". Guy asks "What's that, about a 2002?". I said "No, a '91". His jaw almost hit the pavement. Honcho, you'll love this, the comment I heard more than anything else was "I can't believe that's a '91!"
So this young guy, definitely an NSX fan, knows a lot about them, is asking a lot of questions, taking pics, and we start talking about the Fujitsubo exhaust. I was trying to describe the sound and eventually said, "Screw it, no verbal description will do it justice, get in the car", and took him for a spin around the block. Judging from the saucer-eyed look he gave me, he approved. He had two buddies with him, turned out they were all recent Biomedical Engineering grads from Drexel, my alma mater, and I didn't want to short the other two so I gave them rides as well. It was a lot of fun and they had a genuine appreciation for the car. After about an hour and a half things started breaking up so I came on home.
