Have you ever wanted to start a thread or throw something out there but didn’t think it had enough substance to stand on its own? How about a thread for that sort of stuff? Here are a few of varying lameness.
The first one is for the “duh” file.
NOOBS TAKE NOTE. Like a corporation, there is a sort of culture here on the site. If you want to be a team player, this will sum up 90% of the general consensus without having to read anything:
It goes without saying that we love the NSX, yet we’ll readily admit that it needs more power.
We love Honda for giving us the NSX, but we’re ticked that they have screwed the pooch so spectacularly in following it up with the next version.
We respect the performance of the Corvette because it’s undeniable, yet we’re iffy on build quality, interior, and the fact that it’s so common.
All but one of us gives the ASCC thumbs down.
After seeing the ASCC, even those among us who were dubious about the HSC are wishing it had been made.
If you praise any German or Italian machine, be sure to mention the terrible cost of upkeep.
The “I like it stock” guys and the “Mod the bejesus out of it” guys are at a permanent truce; yet someone who ventures into Riceland will be called out.
We hate it when someone calls the NSX simply an X. (But is there any other car that this can be confused with? On the NSX Prime website?)
We own fast cars, but tsk-tsk anyone who actually admits driving over the posted limit.
In fact, we b-slap people who use poor grammar and punctuation, repeat posters, those who curse, appear to be unkind to animals, or who do or threaten to do any kind of naughtiness even in jest.
Those who love the public appreciation that the NSX inevitably brings better keep quiet or else be labeled a loser who bought the car for that purpose only.
Most of us can truly agree that our cars are maintained and modded to a higher standard because of this wonderful site.
OK, there’s five minute’s thought. I’m sure there are a thousand more of these.
THE FOLKS ON this site have been great! Knowledgeable, helpful, only rarely a flame. But have you ever noticed how there’s always someone around to interrupt a lively conversation to point out that your new thread has been done before and will to post links to similar threads going back to kingdom come? And yet, if you do as the moderator recommends and just add on to an existing thread, someone is sure to tell you, “Dude, you just restarted a ten-year-old thread.”
What to do, never revisit a subject, just keep reading the old posts? Everything has been done before, just in a different variation. Some of the most enjoyable reading has been variants upon a subject already well done yet not done during a period when you/I was/were around and reading.
And another thing: there always seems to be someone ready to shut down active conversation when they think it’s gone on too long or gets weird. “Moderator, please lock this thread,” they say. Now, that’s when I really want to chime in.
I GET THE distinct impression that there are a few who wish that the cost of an NSX could be much higher than it is, if only to keep semi-indigent peckerwoods (like myself) from ever getting their hands on one.
THE EDGES OF my headlight covers rub against the hood when the lights are popped up. I’ve searched, and if information on how to correct this is here, I can’t specifically find it.
I can see bolts holding the whole headlight assembly to the car. Could it be as simple as loosening, adjusting, and re-tightening?
I’ve noticed this on other NSX’s, too. Could someone in the know could say what the real fix is?
THE “GIRLS AND NSX’S” THREAD could use a few more pages of pictures, constantly updated. The “The hottest girl that you have ever seen” thread is healthy, thank goodness. But I like to see a beautiful X – sorry, NSX – in the background.
I FINALLY HIT 135 MPH the other day. The PO had only attained a top speed of 130. The car feels a bit more like it’s mine.
Next goal: 150.
Feel free to respond or put your own not-ready-for-NSX Primetime threads here. Or better yet: moderator, please lock this thread.:biggrin:
