What did you drive before the NSX?

[Honcho]

1983 Mazda RX-7 GSL (High School)
1986 Olds Cutlass Ciera (1st half of college)
1988 Honda Accord LXi 5MT (law school)
2004 Honda Accord EX V6 6MT (1st law job)
2007 Acura TSX Navi 5AT (2nd law job)
2009 Acura RDX Tech 5AT (current DD)

I LOVE my RDX, but my favorite was my old 88 Accord. That car is the reason I am Honda/Acura loyal and eventually led to my NSX. :smile:

[Fireballs_92nsx]

I first started in a 1990 jeep cherokee larado. Then I went up to a 1966 dodge Charger w/ 383 engine...which my father was restoring...but he didn't let me keep it long...Then I went with a 1968 mustang 302...and then After a while I sold it and then went with a 1994 mustang gt with all the cobra goodies and saleen kit. After owning it for 5.5 years I purchased a 1999 gs400 and proceeded to mod it. I then kept it for 6 years and then I came upon the 1992 nsx and of course could not pass it up. Then I purchased a 2007 Subaru STI and would have kept it but my wife wasn't too happy with gold wheels and a wing lol.

[gleibig]

I love this. Do you think it's under powered? My Disco II was ridiculously underpowered.

It gave a couple old people in rascal's a run for thier money back in the day. :tongue:

'72 bug at 16 (the clutch was 2 years older than I was...imagine how long it lasted under a 16 yr old's attempt at spirited driving)

'80 toyota corolla in Hawaii first duty station (automatic )

'85 Nissan Sentra in Hawaii second duty station, $250 and lasted through my time in Hawaii, a shipping to Chicago and a drive back to Florida. (also automatic )

'95 Accord EX 5-speed 4cyl, bought in '97 using some of my reenlistment bonus. Car is still my "practical car" with 160k miles, 12 years later still going strong.

'04 Infiniti G35 coupe 6-speed. Bought after back-to-back deployments. The NSX was not even in my radar at the time. (still considered it a $90k car in my mind and hadn't checked on the value of older ones.)

Then I saw that Car and Driver (I think?) article about the most fun for under 25k and saw an NSX on the cover. I quickly flipped to that page to read about how the earlier 90's models are getting below 25k and I knew it was time. Considering the fact that I wanted a convertible too, made it a '95 or newer search.

And that dealer in Long Beach who put the '95 up with no pics on autotrader for 25k on a Sunday, had me calling my watch relief to relieve me early to go see it, and putting a deposit down on it that same day was destiny.

Now all I own are two '95 Hondas and I couldn't be happier.

 

[wahoo5]

'71 Torino GT (first car and last automatic)
'75 Mustang II (ugh)
'75 280Z

'90 Mustang GT conv.
'96 Mustang GT conv.
'99 Mustang Cobra conv.
'04 350Z conv.
'04 S4 conv.
'00 NSX
'04 MINI Cooper S

Still have the last two. I have autocrossed all of them beginning with the Mustang Cobra. Also owned an '82 Crossle 50F Formula Ford.

[EdinKali]

Had lots of cars and motorcycles but the only noteworthy cars before the NSX were, 88 Mustang GT(exhaust, intake and suspension mods), 94 Camaro Z28 6spd(intake mods), 98 Camaro SS 6spd all options deleted except AC and radio(suspension and exhaust mods). Oh and a 2000 CRG 125cc shifter kart. That kart blows everything else on 4 wheels away that I have ever driven including a 600hp Viper. Too bad they aren't street legal.
