    Initial comparison---Acura ASCC vs Lexus LF-A

    IMO, the ASCC is a feeler to see if the market will accept a front-engined NSX, which will make production considerably cheaper for them. I went to the auto show Saturday and the reception to the car was luke warm at best. Lots of people around the Lexus, flooooood of people around the new...

    It's the same with my Tundra. It's nothing special; I see them everywhere. Special=Unique. Call it extreme or laughable, but I understood what they were saying. Thinking in terms of proper contextual significance, we've all got daily beaters; but that's not where we place our automotive esteem.

    I considered a Z06 but decided against as my exotic car buddies said, "Seeing a vette at every light you pull up to, you'll hate yourself." I agree: exclusivity is how you know you've done something special with your life. I love the vette's styling, but would only get one if they kept the...

    I used to do them in the Countach, but this one is so new, I want a dealer record of it's maintenance just in case something goes wrong. If the factory knows the car's been properly serviced and I blow the drivetrain (even after warranty), I've got a much better chance they'll replace it as a...

    I've been planning to but there's no snow here yet. I decided to get a drift car to learn properly; probably a fox body stang.

    I've heard great things about the SE. I've heard that even with the 8-piston's, the 04-05 is still underbraked. I'll have to get my 05 out on the track this year and find out for myself. The NSX fits like a glove; absolutely perfect. The Lambo feels like you're strapped to something that could...

    Oil changes are about $350 at the dealer, but I'm switching everything over to Redline Oil in spring, which will cost about triple and yield 11-33 more HP. My next service is the 17,500 mile, which is extensive, and will be about $3500-$4500. It's expensive, but much cheaper to maintain than a...

    How do you deal with all the unwanted attention?

    I deal with unwanted attention by taking a bath!

    Of course if the Arbrams weighed 3000 lbs, you might feel it in your back!

    I highly doubt it. Lambo techs are sent to the factory for training, and any work not done by proper dealers is going to be scrutinized under warranty claims. My worst experience in this regard was at a honda dealer. I dropped in to see if they'd do a quick oil change on the NSX. The rude...

    Shhhhh! Where did you hear that? Actually, the ME412 is officially dead. Unofficially, I dropped in on the SRT/Viper group to let them check out the G. EVERYONE came down, even the guys from design office. There is talk about a new car and a possible joint venture, which the G visit was intended...

    I went and checked out the LP640 and it's a hard car to stop thinking about. The driving position in the Murcie is perfect. Beyond perfect. I'm just not ready to go back into the "Countach Prison" of driving it only on the weekends, never to restaurants, never to work, etc. That car is in...
