... Because I'd love to drive an NSX!
First off, hi everyone! *wave*
My name's Roger, and I've been lurking on the forums on and off for a long time now. I've always been a fan of the NSX (it was my poster car as a kid) and I'm finally in a place where I can start the search for one in earnest. I talked to a couple of the DFW members at the last C&C and I tried to not be too annoying, dunno if I succeeded or not.
So here's where I ask for a big favor: I don't really have much time behind the wheel of an NSX (I've driven a friend's 02+ around the block a few years back but I don't remember anything about it), and as much as I admire the cars, I can't see spending up to and over $30k on a ~20 year old car if I don't love the driving experience. I can't imagine that being the case, but I want to be 100% sure before pulling the trigger. I'm wondering if anyone in the area would let me and my wife behind the wheel of their car for a bit to get a feel for the NSX. We're both 30+ mature adults and both our daily drivers are manuals so we won't be wrecking clutches or anything.
Now don't everyone jump up at once! I don't have anything super rare to offer anyone to test drive, but if anyone's never driven a tuned N54 powered car before they're not so bad themselves. 400 lb/ft of torque is addicting in its own way.
Long story short: If anyone would be suuuuuuper nice and let my wife and I behind the wheel of their car to help us make sure we want an NSX I'd really appreciate it, and I'd be more than happy to let whoever offered drive my car in return (I know that's not really an equitable offer, but it's the best I can do). If not, I understand and I'll just keep waiting for a dealer to get one on their lot so I can bug them instead!:biggrin:
