I'm not convinced WSB could drive ONE, how do you expect him to drive TWO!?
Didn't think about that one.

Do I need to mention fine wine?

Thought that'd cheer you up.

Yeah, I wouldn't compare the 8 to the 7 specifically because we never received them in the United States. Other than it's reliability and depreciation issues, I loved my Evo8. For WTD06' I even was registered and drove up to Kevin's (NO S8NT) house to leave from there for the event, in the Evo. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it.

Speaking of crazy comparisons... some guy tried to convince me today that the Cobra looks better than the NSX, by far.
The old Cobra? Or the Mustang Cobra? The old Cobra, I can see an argument for it, though it is far from graceful. The Rustang Cobras are nothing.

The older ones, I'd agree... 95 to 98 range. But $75k for an '03 is retarded. You can snag 996 GT3s for that. Maybe a new C6 Z06.

Eh, I wasn't too fond of the 02+ with the stationary headlamps. Honestly, my favorite would be a 91 or 92'.

While I do like the 6spd, targa top, and 3.2L of the 97+ ... I hate their drive by wire system.

There's a supercharged one in Lynnhood for like $36k.. silver... tan suede interior... 400 lb Foose wheels... but it does have a Comptech SC!
Silver.. yuck. In my opinion the NSX needs to be a very loud color, nothing traditional like silver. No offense to the Silver guys.

I looked at IX's for a while. I had ALMOST gotten past the looks, but the service record from Mitsu was disgusting so I knew I wanted no part of it.
Yeah, every time I get the itch, I remind myself of what Mitch and other people went through with their horrible service. I'd be more inclined to just buy a massively depreciated 8, I guess, and fix it on my own.

Yeah - that was why I pretty much blew it off, he was talking about the 95'ish Mustang Cobra's.

I've driven several NSXs... not at once, of course.
