uh oh...

just what a needed. a new distraction! and it drives phenomenally.

As a I arrived at Greg's home in Sacramento, there she was waiting for me.


A few hours later I satisfied my anality review, cut the check, killed a roll of painter's tape, and she was ready for the trip home!


5.5hrs later I realized I need a bigger garage. (Wait... doesn't Sacto-to-LA take 6-7hrs?... hahaha)


My garage is in need of a cleaning!

Things I like about the NSX.

• Honda's first car to introduce Variable-Valve-Lift Technology to the USDM.
  
• The car only weighs 2,9xx lbs. That's only ~200lbs more than my S2000.
  
• The engine is amazing and mated to the best chassis i've ever driven? ...it's absolute bliss.
• Still is a Honda with Honda bullet-proof reliability. (too bad when you tell the parts counter "it's for an NSX" prices jump 3x)
• Honda never made any money from this car but instead it was a tribute to their F1 domination in the 80's. R&D Costs must have been $$$.
  
• Steering is precise and communicative. Probably too much for the average driver (aka. Camry driver). The lack of a factory pwr steering option was a fantastic decision.
• Cornering is flat and stable, braking short and true, noise levels acceptable.
• Comfortable enough to function as a weekend getaway car. Arguably a capable GT.
• One more thing... In the 3 days i've been driving it, I have yet to see another one on the road and this is LA!
