    Which car would you likely have right now if the NSX didn't exist?

    11 years ago when I was shopping for an NSX I also considered very seriously a 996 911 and a Dodge Viper GTS. I won the auction on the 996 but the seller refused to sell it to me b/c I won the Non-Reserve auction for $25k and he wanted $40k and I was about to drop the hammer on the GTS when...

    fairwell (but not goodbye)

    Hi Gang, thank you for the kind words. I replaced it with an E46 M3 'vert.

    fairwell (but not goodbye)

    I think it has to do with the cd loader in the trunk... radio still does not power on.

Maybe un-plugging and re-plugging did the trick... But what caused the issue in the first place? maybe...

Both door panels are still on vehicle because manual says to "lift off the sill" but something at the window's base is preventing them both to come out and I'm afraid to brake things.
