I've owned mine for a month and have had a few comments that have enlightened me as to how dumb some people are. Not that I didn't already know it, I guess these experiences have just underlined the fact.
I've also had a tremendous number of people yell positive things or wave or give thumbs up as well.
This car just cannot be ignored. People react to it one way or another.
I've already been told it looks like a Corvette.
My answer is that it also looks like a Ferrari 360 and that's because the same artist at Pininfarina (Kiyoyuki "Ken" Okuyama) helped to design it.
I've been asked how much I paid for the car to which I answered once "Less than you would think" which solicited another question "Like what $11k?" so that was awkward. I just shrugged it off.
I got asked the same question by someone else a couple of days later and answered "About the same price as the Ferrari I was looking at." (Totally true about considering an F car btw) which worked to get them to shut up. I find that question so rude.
I also had a couple of people tell me how much better it is than my Integra and that just completely infuriates me because I love my Type R more than anything. I'm actually surprised that more NSX owners don't also own one, given that they can be purchased so inexpensively and they are such a race car! I'm completely used to the Type R getting zero respect from most people however. I could honestly care less because I KNOW and a few others KNOW and that's what makes it such an awesome toy to have.
I had another guy comment on-line that I must be broke because I have a garage full of Honda's. That one made me LOL.
Another guy commented on-line (on my Facebook) that if I had this car when he was a teenager I would be the king. I responded now that I have the car and you're an adult, that makes me a collector.
Clearly the people making these comments are just ignorant.
