I wouldn't turn down another Black one though if it's the right deal for me.
Supercharged this time?

The Germans have never been behind anybody. If you delete all the stuff that comes from their drawing boards the past 80 years, we would have had to conduct this discussion by writing letters to each other. The Japanese are great and one has to take your hat of for them, but their biggest take is on perfecting designs, coming mostly from Germany. No doubt the NSX was a legend even before it hit the streets. Aluminium used in the suspension? Karl Benz used aluminium in his 1901 car.

You can still get those metal keys for around $90. I had been using that key for my main key all this time, and I have also bought a spare uncut metal key that I use as decoration. They are still out there to be bought.

They have been discontinued for a while now., but there are still old stock available last I checked. I bought my spare one just a year or 18 months ago. Sometimes you find them on eBay, and I also think OEM Acura Parts dot Com also may still have some in stock.

Well, yes, I guess so, after the junk vehicles (Trabant, Lada, AvtoVAz, etc....) that Communist Russia and Eastern Europe produced for decades until the whole system collapsed. Riding in a Trabant was only marginally better than walking...and sometimes not even that.

Well your own country's cars weren't much better. Even the expensive Caddys and Lincolns were plain out junk. Thats why God invented Lexus.
