Default i have a sickness

I don't know why but it seems the one year anniversary of every car I own I start looking...its like the 7 year itch.

OK, an NSX has my attention. Its a 91 with 22k in excellent condition for $24.5K. I've got an 04 S2k in near showroom condition with 8k. I know I should be happy with what I have but...and I don't have room nor can I justify both.

What do you guys think or

DO IT. Unless it's red, I don't like red.

I do like the NSX, but nothing beats a convertible. The targa doesn't come close. Whatever the S lacks compared to the NSX, it makes up for in the fact that you can lower your top and be emersed in the world around you. Better than a bike if you ask me (unless you ride w/o a helmet).

I've been in the same boat. The NSX have been my dream car throughout all of my childhood. I know its such a old car, thats why I would be hesitant, but its a Honda, so I don't worry too much. The thing I think I'd miss most is the Convertible. Even if I could get a Targa. Its just not the same. Do whatever makes you happy. I may get the same itch. I've been on the lookout for quite some time, and just cant bring myself to do it.

Targa>Convertible
I would take a targa over a vert any day... I'm not much of a vert man. I love my S, but I even gutted the ST and run straight HT. Not that I can't take it off, I highly doubt I will take it off much though.
The dilema at hand...
It all depends what you really want.
I would probably keep the S over a 91 NSX... I would want a mid 90's or newer, not one of the first ones. Then again it is an NSX!!
Tough call...
Not your DD, correct?

I just got a hard top and its great for Chicago winters, but once the weather is nice enough, its probably going to stay off until the fall. So it depends on how much you like dropping the top. I think I drive with my top down 6/7 days the week when the weather is nice enough.

Nothing like leaving work when the sun is still shining, with a warm breeze, and the top down.

Although if I rolled up in an NSX they'd think I got some sort of secret bonus or something. Despite being a 91 or 92. Most people wouldn't know the wiser.
