After reading various messages from owners offering test drives to people they just met, I finally had the opportunity to bestow the pleasures of NSX driving to two different people this weekend.
On Saturday, I was at West Point when one of the Cadets came over to admire the car. After learning that this was the first one he had ever seen, I figured that the least I could do was take him for a drive. I then totally shocked him by giving him the keys and letting him try it out. Needless to say, I have the feeling that he never had as much fun driving through his post in the Army vans.
On Sunday, I met someone who was a lifelong Honda owner but who had never been in an NSX. Once again, another enthusiast was born after I gave him the keys and told him to drive. He then asked me to drive him so he could see how the car can "really be driven." I had him put on the 5 point harness and gave him a sample of what the NSX can do and dropped him off to get his camera so he could a few shots behind the wheel.
Two simple acts of kindness to strangers, two extremely happy drivers. It is amazing to see how a simple drive in a car can make someone's day.
