1. You track your car. Duh.
2 You have read the wax wars on nsxprime, then bought one of those off-rotational thingys to take the swirls out of your paint, and did it yourself. And it worked.
3. You have a shrine in your office with the ribbons you have won at serious car shows –councours shows – and you hang them around a framed picture of you driving 120 mph at the International Speedway in Las Vegas.
4. You know what stoichiometric means.
5. You have spent more money on upgrades than you spent on the original cost of your car.
6. …. your turn

7a) You have SIX extra packs (still in the wrapper) of yellow microfiber polishing towels from Costco sitting on the shelf in your garage; and people are asking...."why?"

7b) You say goodnight to your NSX and you swear it says "goodnight" back.

What does stoichiometry have to do with garage queens?

What type of person are you if you didn't know stoichiometry meant, but you googled it? (guilty! :redface: )


Garage Queen owners sit around and brag about how they've never driven in the rain... and they live in Seattle.

 

[davidf]

Guilty as charged. Everyday I pull in from work and hit the garage door opener. I park my truck outside. I just want to see the back of the car. It never gets old.

 

[Zishan]

It never gets old.

I'm going on 4 years of ownership, 2nd NSX. It's never, and I mean never, gets old. :smile:

That is SO true !!!! :biggrin:

As a matter of fact, not only does the NSX never gets old, the guy driving it also seems to stay at the same age :smile:

 

[heySkippy]

- Your car has never been washed because it's never been dirty.

That is SO true !!!! :biggrin:

LOL :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: SO TRUE!

 

[gdae]

You don't wash it. You lick it.

9) You envy the previous owner's garage

http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showpost.php?p=429968&postcount=1

and are planning on making yours look similar prior to winter. (I would never have considered finishing off the garage if it weren't for the NSX.)

10) After you're done washing and waxing it, you put it back in the garage and drive one of your other cars instead.

11) You spend big bucks on a carbon fiber piece and your wife asks "Why? Was something wrong with the piece that was there before?" :smile:

12.) Apply OEM indoor car cover in the garage.
13.) Research cleansing products that have least chemicals.
14.) When washing water is run on the car no pressure hoses.
15.) Rationalize ways to innovate or improve a near perfect car.

16.) You park your daily driver under the queen!

 

[NSX GT]

Buy upgrades CTSC and CF parts, but never install it cuz you don't ever drive it.
Also, you change your oil and filter every 3 months and you have only driven it 100 miles in the past 3 months.
Also, everyday you have to first sit in the garage and eat dinner next to your car and then get into the car to remember how it felt to sit in an NSX.
Also, look at your engine compartment every night and waxing the firewall and support arms.

Also, when you start applying wheel shine on your spare tire.

6. You have spider webs between your NSX and the wall (yes, I do!)

7. You have to start it every 3-4 weeks, without driving it, to keep the
battery charged.

8. The day you decide to drive the NSX is beautiful, but you heard there's
a 20% chance of rain, so you don't.

9. You don't go for a drive because cleaning it will take 3 times as long
as your trip.

10. You're worried about damage by the sunlight coming in the garage
window.:biggrin:

10. You're worried about damage by the sunlight coming in the garage
window.:biggrin:

I actually would worry about that if the car sat there large amounts of time. Two areas of the same surface - exposed to sun and not exposed to sun - seem to always look different eventually.

 

[veronsx]

Buying new garage blinds to keep sun from OEM cover. What was I thinking?

You make sure that the new garage blinds are color matched to the OEM cover. LOL

Hehe, thats pretty good.

 

[mickeylex]

You replace your rear tires every 3-4 years and your fronts at 5-6 years.

 

[coolnsx]

You replace your rear tires every 3-4 years and your fronts at 5-6 years.

or you buy Thom's rear camber kit and do them both every 5-6 years :biggrin:

Your girlfriend / wife thinks you love the car more than her
