I notice that there are also several "types" of NSX owners, and each type has a very different taste and preference regarding "types" of events.
Broadly defining, there are three types, and each type has their own merits.
1. One who prefers meeting regularly/weekly.
This usually happens at a big parking lot, or other places where it's easy to meet, hang out and "chill". Then, drive to various places such as a restaurant, in a big group (I will loosely define 5 or more to be a "big" group).
These types of events are usually popular over in BMW forums, Audi forums, Subaru forums, 350Z forums, and some Ferrari forums (usually in New York area, but not in New England area). As one can easily see, events are often organized through regional section of their own car forums. The attendees are active in web forums (i.e. post a lot of threads, pictures, and etc.). The locations of events are not too far from the residence of forum members.
Ex. Movie run this weekend, Let's have lunch at XYZ, Who's in for a quick run to ABC shop, and etc.
2. One who likes to endeavor thoroughly laid out events that are organized at more higher levels.
These events are usually notified via mails many months in advance to the members of the clubs. It usually takes a lot of time and effort to plan the event, so it does not happen frequently or week/bi-weekly basis. The
locations of the events tend to be far from the residence of the club members, and often require overnight stay.
These types of events are held by big national clubs such as NSXCA, Porsche Club of America, BMWCCA, and etc., rather than individual car "forums"/message board.
Ex. NSXPO, Ferrari Day at LRP, BMWCCA Concourse, and etc.
3. One who likes to be anonymous, and anti-social.
Respectfully, I believe that this group is self-explanatory.
Summary
Overall, the event type 1 is more of a recent phenomenon due to the popularity of web based forums and message boards. Before this popularity, most of events are organzied in type 2 fashion.
The main difference between people who prefer 1, and who prefer 2, at least in my futile observation, seems to be their life style or demographic background.
Majority, but not all, of folks who attend events type 1 tend to be in their 20-30s, single or have significant others (but not yet married), or married (but no kids yet).
Majority, but not all, of folks who attend events type 2 tend to be in their 40-70s, have family (often with their kids in college and etc.).
Often times, folks who attend majority of events type 1 feel out of place or "bored" when attending events type 2. Analogously, often times, folks who attend majority of events type 2 feel out of place or "bored" when attending events type 1.
In my humble opinion, the debate in this thread is due to the fact that there are both type 1 and 2 people in this forum. A lot of NSX owners tend to be type 2 and 3. Although there are quite a lot of type 1 owners here as well, due to the rarity of NSX, comparing the number of NSX owners in such events, or activity of this forum to other ones (such as BMW) is not an apple to apple comparison.
In any case, all types of events involving NSXs, whether there are only 2 NSXs or 200 NSXs, are fun and desirable.
