Thumbs up Just bought an NSX!!!

Well my CL family.
I have a 1 week old NSX, my dream car that actually came earlier than I anticipate on getting.

Here are the specs:
96 Targa top
Black/tan with only 66k miles for $30k
most of the mid to high $20s had over 100k and interior wasn't well kept all

tubi exhaust-nice low growl, not raspy or ricey, no droning
comptech headers
CF engine cover
stainless coolant tank

Interior is in excellent condition, no wear on the seats
Automatic. Yes, I've been going back and forth on getting a manual, but in the end, this is the cleanest, well kept, fully documented, NSX that I've been looking for especially with the bolt-ons I can sit back, cruise, and stuff my pie hole.....so far I haven't though
Plus, my wife can also drive it also. Yeah, I'll use her as an excuse for getting an auto
I couldn't be more happier.

The hunting and purchasing part was fun. Wife and I must have looked over 20 NSXs for over 3 months, almost made an interstate trade.

Upcoming mods: 17/18 wheels, aero kits, and double din nav/audio upgrades.........for now
Going to get rid of the antenna and those painted red calipers.

We just went on our first meet on prime and had a blast

Congragulations. Hope you enjoy it.

I hope, with that nice body and paint, that you won't ever need a body shop, but, if you do, make sure that you find a shop that is certified for repairs on all-aluminum cars. Only certain ones have that rating. SCRATCH-OUT, of course, will take out minor surfaces scratches/stains.
