    Old Timer's Farewell - 22 Years of Joy - Time for someone new to adore her

    Thank you everyone! The new owner is picking up the car Sat. Going to be really hard to watch him drive away. This is his 5th NSX (and he is 10 years younger than me). I don't know why anyone would put themselves through having to give away this amazing car 3 other times (he will have 2...

    Old Timer's Farewell - 22 Years of Joy - Time for someone new to adore her

    GREAT story and now I am sorry I wasn't more active the last couple years. I fly Sat to pick up an amazing deal on the original Tesla Roadster. there might not be another one in my state right now. I drove one for a day and fell in love in a very different way. A great community as well on...

    Old Timer's Farewell - 22 Years of Joy - Time for someone new to adore her

    Well - bittersweet as the NSX sold to the high bidder on BAT today. The new owner has had 3 NSXs in the past and is a REAL enthusiast and will enjoy it as much as I had I am sure. I'll wait for them to intro themselves (again) but thanks to all of you for an awesome journey. It was a blast.

    Old Timer's Farewell - 22 Years of Joy - Time for someone new to adore her

    You guys are all awesome and it is all coming back to me why I lived and loved it here. As much as any virtual community. Maybe my wife will let me build another lift in the garage and keep it?!?! I seriously woke up in the middle of the night thinking "what am I doing"? That said 22...

    Old Timer's Farewell - 22 Years of Joy - Time for someone new to adore her

    Hi All! Thanks for all the warm and kind comments. Glad to see that culture has not changed. I think 2 things hurt me. One was a BMW 335i Hard top Convertable with M Sport. I just love the top down, having a place for my dog (rescue we adore), and it is sporty enough for some fun on some...

    Old Timer's Farewell - 22 Years of Joy - Time for someone new to adore her

    Kind of you all to say that. alum04org and docjohn. I will visit. I have gotten much more in return than anything I ever shared. PS: I am going to move to a new car/stage of my life and hope to find a community 1/2 as good as the one I enjoyed here on Prime / NSXCA

    Thank you - I am sad to see her go but excited for the fun the next steward will have. She has been a great car and I don't regret a second or a penny spent on her. Most of all I'll remember the fun times with folks like you.

    Old Timer's Farewell - 22 Years of Joy - Time for someone new to adore her

    Wasn't supposed to end this way. I purchased the NSX in 97 (pre kids) as my forever car after a 2 year run with a 76 930 Turbo with 22k miles I sold for $26k (yea - I know). I posted here 20x per day. I wrote blogs before anyone knew what one was. I read posts for hours on end into the...

    FS: Many NA1 Parts

    The condition of the struts? Any leaking? Are they "off a 1992" or are they "original parts"?

    In Shape, Out of Shape....

    Good to see everyone working hard. Didn't expect this thread to come back from the dead. Well - at 43 now (gulp - I was only 29 when I got my NSX!) it gets harder. You can't stay static. Every day I either lose weight or gain weight. I am getting fitter or slower. To just "stay the...

    Why I am selling my cherished NSX

    Strange - I have not been out here looking at posts in MANY years and out of the blue saw this. Guess it was intuition I stumbled out here and saw this. Anyway - Ken - I wish the best for you whatever you decide/happens. You were there in 96 when I was on the list servers, you were there...

    In Shape, Out of Shape....

    Holy old posts! ;) Still love running (which means my poor NSX sits and is lucky to get 800 miles a year). I have competed 6 marathons (countless 1/2 marathons) since I had my running bug hit. Running beats road racing in some ways (I can run as fast as I want with no worries of tickets or...

    NEED help A.S.A.P.

    Oil pump gears are relatively common problem in cars that have been overreved or heavily tracked on ovals. I would check the oil pump for sure. In any event I wouldn't do anything until you fully check it out. You can only make things worse and by that I mean more expensive.

    In Shape, Out of Shape....

    I have been meaning to come back to this thread for months and finally got around to it... Here is my own personal update having met, exceeded, and then held my weight loss goals for 3 months. Hope this helps some of you who - like me - will probably struggle to maintain a good weight for...

    Pizza prices?

    Ordered 4 XL pizza's from Pappa Johns online $34 delivered and I thought that was outrageous! Guess not... The really good local options are WAY more money here. The chains are cheap and Pappa Johns is the best of the chains IMO. Plus they do non-dairy for my son with allergies. We have a...
