All the time! Feel like a sitting duck a lot!
I like the idea. But can we call it something less dark like "Retired NSX's"? I know I'm headed for the graveyard...aren't we all? But I don't like to think of my NSX going there.
Vanishing Point .. tks for the link to the S2K doc and explanation as to how you think it would work. I may not understand fully but it seems to me to be just a 'spreadsheet in the sky' .. and we'd still need voluntary 'moderator(s)', etc. The current NSX Registry was a bit of a pain in the a$$ because it rode on top of the Wiki and therefore the addition of information required people to understand the Wiki formatting system which isn't intuitively obvious. The beauty of a Thread-based system is that virtually everyone knows how to add a post to a thread or to create a new one. Maybe we could use something like the for sale topic area where it's easy to open a new thread .. but it has to be 'approved' before it becomes 'public'. 'Approving it' would be just checking the validity of the VIN and whether there is already a VIN thread started. If there was, the moderator could just point the person to the existing thread; if there wasn't, one could be started and 'preloaded' with some factory information about exterior/interior color codes; etc. There are a small number of people in the community that have this information and I think they'd be willing to add that specifically for VINs in the public domain.
The problem with the current Registry is that it was a huge effort to get prior information loaded.. and for existing information in Prime threads or For Sale ads, there was little benefit since it would show up in a Google search anyway. Lud dealt with part of the problem by creating an extension that would automatically capture eBay ads. Having a system that allows anyone to add VIN sighting information helps with the workload problem. I know that we have an existing small group of people who have been discussing options since the NSXPO last year and I suspect that group could be tapped for volunteers. Lud would have to be on board as well.
By the time the Wiki was locked down, I think we had captured over a 1000 VINs which is not insignificant.

I just occurred to me that you're maybe not aware of the current Registry's existence. http://nsxprime.com/wiki/Category:NSXRegistry

I don't know Shawn, kind of looks like a dear, not a horse.
Clearly a llama.
the orange one sold yet? how bad is it?
Same here and with actually experience. I DD my miata and it got rear ended twice in the last 6 months at the stop light for no reason. And it just got rear ended again this afternoon.
My wife, sister-in-law and a good friend all had their cars rear ended in the last 12 mos at the stop light.
I am truly afraid to drive the NSX and my other toy.

This one is on Ebay right now. Not much in the way of repair having been done (as seen from a photo)

I drive a yellow banana and I couldn't agree with you more. They just don't see us period! We are low and have a very small profile!
