    Oh Yeah...wait for 3:20

    OMG! I can just imagine after a couple of weeks they have to sell it - and start over. I can envision the "for sale" add now: - Mature 40+ male driver - Always garage parked - Never seen rain - Never been on a racetrack - Minor tasteful mods only and my favorite - Tires have less then 1000...

    Anyone Know a Good NSX Shop/Mechanic In St. Louis Missouri

    +2 - I should have mentioned in my post that you can not go wrong with Vasos or AoB. I didn't want to give the impression that was not the case. You and your car will get star treatment and they will really work with you. They also don't mind working with aftermarket parts unlike a lot of...

    Anyone Know a Good NSX Shop/Mechanic In St. Louis Missouri

    I would look up the BarnMan. He did mine last time and is equally competent, will become a friend for life, and is dirt farmer cheap. Some of us fly him up, he drives it home, fixes it up, you fly down (Nashville - cheap) and drive it back with a huge grin and a trunk full of the cash you...

    Wow - that sounds like a BLAST. I have none of the requirements you seek but still would love to do it! Good luck. Keep a good blog/camera so the rest of us can live vicariously through you!!! :)

    I have a dilema and need your advice.

    God gave you intuition. Your parents taught you values. You display both in your post. I suggest you listen to the voice inside your head telling you not to do it. There are a lot of great costumes that you can put together that are not nearly as offensive and 10x funnier. That said...

    150+ MPH question?

    I wouldn't post my speeds on the internet. JMHO. Just because I am paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you. :cool:

    I voted today!

    OK - guess I need to say it another way... Why "brand" yourself? Why be "a label"? Have you EVER seen a political sign in a neighbor's yard and thought +/- about them if they didn't have "your pick" on the lawn? Do you vote for the "best qualified person" or are those you don't pick and...

    Wise words from Warren Buffett

    Dollar cost consistent investing + diversification + minimizing mgt/transaction costs = sound long term investment strategy for people with a long window. No ifs ands or buts. It is hard to stay the course but that (if anything) is what Mr. Buffett teaches us. Don't get caught up in a bubble...

    I voted today!

    Me too. I voted 10 days ago. The line was very long here in St. Louis but NOTHING compared to what it will be 11/4. The people working the polls were very nice and said the lines have been VERY long every single day since early voting started. On a side note - I wish people were as...

    wth is wrong with us humans

    I ran in the Chicago Marathon yesterday. The only reason I was allowed in is the event organizers took pity on me when I sent them an email that I tried to run during what was left of Ike and they cancelled the race 10 miles into it. It was officially one of the hottest days on record and I...

    HONDA says: NSX replacement to be VERY fast but rare ; ONLY 1,000/year US

    I doubt in the current economy unless they had tooling already ordered and the plant was ready/everything was paid for - that they build it right now. It is going to be brutal for even the best car companies to survive the next several years and this is the wrong image and the wrong car at the...

    skibanker was right...

    If you truly feel that way you should buy a bunker in some remote corner of the world and fill it with food/water and kill anyone that knows or brought you there. If there is a collapse to the level where criminals rule, starving mobs are attacking your home, there is no society, and no...

    skibanker was right...

    Not so much that I disagree with some of your post but the first item IMO was in 1913 when Wilson signed into law the Federal Reserve Act. It created the banking cartel in charge of our money system. You can add to the pre-1999 list (in no particular order): - the drop of the gold standard...

    skibanker was right...

    I'm no Nostradamus but take a look at my post from 1 year ago. Then watch the video that predicted this several years ago. I went from 0% cash to 40% cash back then. Too bad I didn't listen to myself more then I did and get more into cash. Figured with 25 years to go I could ride out most...

    Access Denied - USA & Europe Get NSX Replacement

    I am not so sure the rest of the world is going to get it either. With the guillotine front grill treatment - will you even want it?

    how they voted on the bailout...

    When your toddler is a couple steps up on carpeted stairs - you let them fall to learn a lesson. When your toddler is a couple stories up and about to fall you do everything you can to stop it as the lesson is too painful. Bottom line is whether you think it is socialism (I do), a good idea...

    how they voted on the bailout...

    I refuse to get into politics but this will get passed. It has to. As much as I hate this. As much as this makes us no better then other 3rd world countries that have done similar socialistic tactics and have blocked free markets. The sad reality is the US is the only one with enough money...

    A break from economy: My personal story of racing in hurricane Ike (with Pictures)

    Thanks guys - I am an inspiration to "big boned" beer drinking bbq rib eating runners everywhere! I am the guy that finishes the race and eats so many donuts that I actually put ON weight! I had to stop running races as I would get too fat. I tried to switch to smoking at the end but no one...
