Hi everyone,
I didn't see a specific forum dedicated to any such introductions, so this one seemed the most appropriate. I wanted to introduce myself to the community (since this site is somewhat smaller than other sites I have been a part of, like NASIOC)
Let me start off by saying that I'm only entering 1st University this year, so I am indeed a good deal younger than many other forum go-ers. So I apologize if I seem somewhat less mature than some of you guys who could probably be my dad, in terms of age. I have always wanted to buy a somewhat special car, and currently am buying a beater to get myself around with throughout most of university while I save money, and have intended to do this since I was about 15. I've never been into flashy kits, decals or any other generic rice, and have always appreciated cars that were lesser known, and that were special not because they were fast, or expensive, but because they were a balance of unique qualities and had character. This is why I have always held a like for NSX's.
My dad was recently found out that NSX's in good shape were going for the same price as a 350, G35 or STI ( I had always thought them wayyyy out of my league). Knowing that I intended to get an STI (I'm also a scoobie freak) he informed about this, sicne he had always been a fan of NSX's. I began to research, and concluded that an NSX would be infinitely more unique and special than an STI, and also draw me away from the boy racer crowd (I don't want to be involved with street racing etc..in any way).
Interestingly enough I also was quoted a good 1500 CND lower on insurance than a new STI, and found that NSX"s have better fuel ecoomy . After doing further research I was led here, since I had heard this was a great NSX community.
If you've made it this far, thanks for reading. I know I'm alot younger and alot less experienced than most of you, so it's somewhat intimidating being on a forum where people are buying in some cases $100k+ cars, and are obviously alot older. However, I just want to learn and become a part of the community, and hopefully own my own in a couple years. And unlike many late teens/ young adults I promise no asshatery on my part...even though I'm so young.

You'll find that this is a great site with excellent and friendly membership.
). However, I would much rather buy an non PS car that was in better shape/lower mileage than a newer one with higher mileage and worse condition. I would also hope that since there is alot less weight on the front, that it wouldn't be too hard to get used to. I'm not a big guy...then again the japanese developed the cars for their own market without PS, and if similarly sized japanese people can drive it no problem, I would hope I would be able to too as well.
