Damn, too bad we didn't hook up before I traded it. No problems with the car. Services were done on time, or earlier. I did some of the oil-changes. the dealer did the others. Other than service: - I had the alignment checked after the first set of rear tires scrubbed off in 5k miles...

This was my car. Anything you'd like to know?

This report finally shows what I've been saying all a long. I thought it was sad when the Insurance institute gave the new Bug a high rating. There's no way that car is safe against a heavier vehicle, only brick walls. Yet they gave most trucks and SUV’s poor ratings, against their brick...

01' Silver 14k miles #123 This winter has slowed me down. It's only been out a few of times since early Dec.

Wife got me this calendar for x-mas. Some very-very cool cars. One of the best assemblies I've seen. Too bad the NSX is the lowest priced car in it. They even priced the 63 vette higher. If you like car calendar's, get this one. It's pretty hot. Or is that wet? ------------------ 01'...

I thought this was suppose to be a baby Lambo? Priced to compete w/ the F360. Maybe their $250k estimate is a bit high. In any case, 500hp out of 5 liters sounds sweet! ------------------ 01' NSX-T Silverstone 02' Chevy Avalanche 1500 00' Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300 02' Honda VTX-1800 02'...

Holy Crap! Hurt just looking at it. I can't even imagine what it sounded like.

I was going to note the same thing. I owned a 99' Vette, and the shift points in MPH are pretty close (1-2 and 2-3). So, the RW-torque (MPH) band is actually pretty close on the two cars, which is why they have similar 0-60 times. ------------------ 01' NSX-T Silverstone 02' Chevy Avalanche...

Totally agree. I quit 15 years ago now, and it wasn't hard. I just had to want it. I was a 2.5 packs/day smoker. Congrats on your achievement! After the first few months it's all down hill. The cravings keep getting lighter, and further between. Just DON'T start again. No point in...

Thanks!!!!!!!

Prior to my NSX I had a 99' vette coupe, in which I occasionally took the top off. Got the NSX in Aug of 01'. This summer I went 2+ months with out putting the top ON once. The NSX-T is a much better topless ride than the Vette was. Bats the wife's hair around a bit, but she just ties it...

Love my V1, but hate the lack of auto-mute. No one else has the directional arrows, and they are useful!

Skid pad measures the cornering G-force while driving the car in a circle on a smooth surface. The higher the number the better. In essence it's measuring how sticky your tires are and how well the car balances the weight across each wheel best utilizing the tire grip. The NSX has VERY soft...

I agree w/ NetViper. Don't need a new model, just a REAL update. Even if a v8 doesn't fit, a punched out / blown 6 will do

I'm not gonna bother getting it fixed. The only option I see is paint, and it isn't that bad. At least not yet. If I decide to keep the car after the lease is up, I'll probably make them fix it under warranty.
