Holy cow, I've been so remised on a certain posting. This NSXPrime member has been tremendously helpful in building our Type-S tracker. His social media presence has collected untold number of NSX Type-s photos that have either identified or led to the discovery of unknown production numbers. We have a way to go in documenting the entire set production cars, but it goes without saying
@The Kid has been a big influence on this project. I've been collecting photos on #024 since the beginning. The same is true for most of the prime members with Type S cars and until I have a set worthy of posting, you'll just have to wait or post more photos of your cars in distinctive locations.

Now a cool story on Long Beach Blue Pearl color. A couple of days ago, I hunted down the backstory on LBBP and Acura. Is LBBP an official color? I first went to find a list of all the historically made Crayola colors. I've got to tell you, there are a lot of fricken Crayola colors. But alas no LBBP. The closest color (I think) from all the LBBP cars I've seen is a "magic scent crayon" called "New Car Blue (III) with a hexadecimal color code of
#0066FF. Okay, now I went to check out several touchup paint companies to see what they listed for the LBBP for 2022 Acura NSX. The hexcode for the sample color chip varied but most are near
#0431DA. If you have PowerPoint, go to the "shape fill" function and select "more fill options...." then select the "custom" tab. There you can enter the hex value to see what it looks like. Nice but it seems too chromatic and too dark. Anyways, LBBP first appeared on the gen 1 NSX in 2002. What I didn't know was that the color names of the NA1/NA2 NSX were named after famous races (I would add racetracks too), according to an Acura spokeswoman, Allie Mayer Coulter. Anybody know any race or racetrack using Berlina or Kaiser in it? This is a stretch but does Kaiserpreis count? It stands for "Emperor's Prize" and was an auto race in held in 1907 and a precursor to the German Grand Prix. According to Wikipedia, "The Long Beach Grand Prix is the longest running major street race held in North America. It started in 1975 as a Formula 5000 race and became a Formula One event in 1976. In an era when turbocharged engines were starting to come to prominence in Formula One, Long Beach remains one of the few circuits used from the time Renault introduced turbos in 1977 until the last Long Beach Grand Prix in 1983 that never once saw a turbo-powered car take victory." F1 needs to return there. Back to why you are here reading this, in
