    How are you guys able to afford a nsx 2.0???

    I've been saving money for it since it was first announced, many years ago. I have enough for the car, but now I'm not sure I'm going to buy it. Priorities change over many years...

    NSX 001 to be sold at Barret Jackson Scottsdale

    I don't think I'd want #001 to be driving as "intended". Number One belongs in a museum. Hopefully there will be plenty more to drive...
