    Car shipping

    I have had great success with Intercity as well. More recently used Passport Transport --- they equal the quality of Intercity in terms of care and price. Took a bit longer than promised to get the car here, but believe all the car carriers were experiencing the same delays. Can highly...

    The Last testaments of a great car

    The end of the NSX in 2022 is a sad item for me. I just got back from a Cars & Coffee even in Charlotte NC. Was a 5 1/2 hour drive each way from Chesapeake VA --- the car ride was fantastic -- no issues, and actually pretty good gas mileage (mostly on "Sport" on the interstates) and tons...

    Anyone contemplating the purchase of the S spec NSX?

    I'm now in my 60's ---- have been an internal combustion engine afficianodo since i was 13 ---- love the sound of a great exhaust note --- the only pure electric i'll be on is the golf cart at my club . . . however acknowledging that this this the way of the future. Not much sweeter than the...

    Type-S Announced

    Sad to hear this, but can't be unexpected. Imagine its tough to justify continued production with such low volume numbers each month. At least they are going out with a bang -- new hp has gotta be at least 650 and have read somewhere that they will be at 200 mph minimum. Some suspension...

    Will you ever sell your NSX?

    OK --- originally bought a 91 and loved it. Had it and a S2000, and then found a 2001 with low mileage -- bought it and sold the 91 and the S2000. Someone made me a crazy offer on the 2001 and I accepted. Almost immediately had sellers remorse. So I found a pristine 2000 with low mileage...

    A few recent reviews

    Nice review --- kinda like that fellow -- funny - my son had suggested the Nissan GTR (never driven one and not really excited about it ) and I came close (twice) to pulling the trigger on an R8. SO happy that I went with the NSX. As this guy says, can drive it comfortably, and can...

    Another 2017 NSX on BAT

    This car looks pretty awesome and really optioned out -- $200K sticker. At 14k miles it should do at least 140K or higher. Gotta say white looks good on the NSX. Jay

    Fully loaded 4k mile Valencia Red 2017 sold for

    I watched the BAT auction --- my initial guess was that it would be well bought at $140K ($145k with commission) --- so it went a bit above that as the bidders got into a bit of a battle. But IMHO that particular car was easily worth $140K. I've had several NA1's and a NC1 -- I love them...

    Indy Yellow and Long Beach Blue

    Congrats Kyras !! I recently acquired a 2017 Valencia Red NSX as well -- the color is absolutely amazing !! You are wise to have kept your S2000 and LBBP NSX - I wish I had kept mine !!! Cheers, Jay

    Things you should or should not do to your car

    Thanks for the "head up" on the brake fluid change every 2 years -- did not know and will do.

    Where are the $80,000-90,000 2017 NSXs?

    In looking at what is for sale, it seems like the 2017's etc are generally holding at 120K to 140K, mostly depending on mileage and options. There also seems to be more and more positive reviews on this car as being very under appreciated for all that it is and what it has to offer. With...

    What other similar sports cars did you consider?

    Having owned 3 prior NSX's I had always been intrigued by the new NSX. I also owned a Boxster S, which I actually really enjoyed. I was pondering the R8 with the V10; or maybe a Cayman GT; but then at a local car cruise a guy showed up with the new NSX --- we chatted and we went for a...

    NSX - Garage/Stable Mates?

    Going back many years I grew up on a bunch of Fiat's, VW's, MG's, MR2's, S2000's, and an occasional Fiero, Javelin, 280Z, 914, and others that are forgettable.... More recently have sold a 928 S4 with a dogleg 5 speed (cool car but always felt "heave" and not fun to drive); a C4 Corvette...
