Almost time to change this avatar - it's starting to annoy me.

Yeah, I understand... I love the NSX, I just can't rationalize actually buying one.


Steal one. There have to be plenty of them laying around in the land of rain.

I think the Evo has only been getting more ugly over the years. The Evo8 was my far my favorite.
The Evo 7 was much better than the 8. Of course it never came here.


I thought the X was hideous at first, but the Lancer GTS looks pretty sweet in person. The EvoX should be better. It's nothing like an S2000 or NSX to look at, but it looks cool.

That's how I was at the beginning. Especially with the fact that I placed a $4,000 deposit on mine by phone, without even seeing the vehicle in person. In fact, I had never even sat in an NSX before. Purchased the one way plane ticket to go out and pick her up.

I'd have to admit, it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. The NSX is well worth the price and then some....
That's a little extreme. I have test driven EVERY car I have ever bought, except my S2000. But I test drove a DIFFERENT 2003 S2000 before purchasing.
