Today marks 10 year since I picked up my 91 Formula Red dream car. I flew from Michigan to El Paso, TX with my good friend and drove the car back some 2000 miles.
My original thread from then is here http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/68866-Finally-my-dream-come-true
The car had 29K miles on it when I bought it....today it has just over 60K.
After 10 years of ownership I can say I truly bought the right car. I still get excited when I get to drive the car. I still love looking at it in the garage or staring at it as I walk to/from it in a parking lot. I'm as much in love it with today as the day I picked it up.
Granted, there has been no shortage of modifications to the car through the years to keep me entertained...full engine build, LoveFab turbo, KW coilevers...etc...etc Actually, the car is currently on jackstands undergoing some spring modifications and maintenance right now, but, should be back on the road this weekend.
This is a good time to also state what a great group of people there are on this forum. Many have been supportive in my small business ventures here. I think to date I've shipped out over 300 pairs of lens covers if not more....and really that just supports my mod addiction so it's going right back into the community here
Many others have helped me tackle the rare odd issues I've run into with the car with extreme knowledge and patience. So thank you all!
The ownership of this car has also opened to the door to meeting all the great local owners/car enthusiast's who have also been great support with the car from time to time and organizing a lot great drives/meets over the years. We've certainly created a lot of fun memories. Looking forward to more this year and the coming years!
Here's to the next 10 years!
