Hi Everyone,
Wanted to introduce myself and say thanks! I've been a long time lurker on Prime, and have grown to truly appreciate the knowledge and passion that everyone shares for these amazing machines. I hope that I can make some meaningful contributions to the group in the future to give back to all that I have learned from.
Thank you!
My journey started when my father took delivery of this Sebring beauty back in '91. I remember him telling me once he had decided he wanted an NSX, that it was a bit of a hunt to find one in silver as apposed to black or red. I have many fond memories going on drives with my dad. Especially once when we had a chance run in with another local NSX and had spirited run through a stretch of town. As I became of driving age a few years after the purchase, I knew I had to get in the drivers seat. I was extremely fortunate that my dad was willing to teach me how to drive standard in it. Looking back, it is honestly a great car to learn on with such a smooth and forgiving clutch. The one down side to learning on the NSX was that it has forever ruined me as to how a good manual should shift! I was hooked! From that point on my dad rarely ever had to wash or wax the car as I would do whatever was need to get back behind the wheel. Over the years even after leaving the house I always found time to make more memories with the NSX. I even managed to propose to my wife in the car.
The bitter sweet part of the journey happened in 2018 when we suddenly lost my dad. The NSX took a back seat while I helped with other family duties. It took a while, but I worked out a plan to purchase the NSX and keep it in the family. I hope to continue to make new memories with my family while honoring the ones I made with my father.
So far I plan on catching up on maintenance items that need to be addressed and maybe making a few changes along the way.
Cheers,
Brian
