Clifton area on Labor Day...who dat?

[grybrd]

I was sitting on 29 where Clifton Road becomes Stringfellow. Only caught the back end of an NSX scooting up Stringfellow; the first NSX I have seen on the road since March. Any idea who it was? (not even sure of the color but I think it was silver)
Then, a young guy comments on the car while we are at a light. Says his dad has a red 91 (mine is a 91 black and ivory). So who is that? I am looking to know all NSXers in my area.

That intersection is less than 5 minutes from my house. I've put 400+ miles on my NSX in the past 3 weeks in the Northern VA area between Reston, Fairfax, etc.

All you have to do is PM me - we can gladly meet up sometime. The car you saw was not me, mine has been inside the garage all day - you probably saw the silver one from Ashburn.

This is a shot of mine from yesterday:

It wasn't me, but I did see a white NSX on Saturday (9/5) driving up Stringfellow around 12:30ish or so. The car looked really nice, particularly for white!

There are multiple silver '02+ NSXs around that I know of: one in Ashburn, one in Manassas, mine, and HIJACKER's. I work with a guy who has a black early 90s with a supercharger, but he lives out beyond Leesburg.

I have a silver 04 and was out on labor day, but down around Dumfries, so it wasn't me. Patrick identified four silvers in the neighborhood; sounds like there may be a fifth. Except for seeing Patrick's at a meet in Winchester, I've never seen an nsx on the road in No. Va.

It is curious that there are known NSXs in NoVa but they are so rarely seen on the road. Is it that we all drive sooooooooo fast that we are hard to see? :biggrin:

I think I saw you on the 234 bypass today (Saturday) around 5:00pm. I was headed towards 66, you were on the other side of the road. I was in my NSX, and waved - don't think you saw me.

That would have been me. No, I didn't see you (I was keeping my eye on an unmarked cop car and a black Mustang GT that looked like it was trying to start a race). I was driving back home from the Burger King meet- thought I'd check out the classics there. Supposedly, they gather around 3pm every Saturday at the Burger King off of 28 and 234. They roll out around 6pm-ish, when the import crowd starts showing up.

I've seen a red early 90s one off and on around Chantilly. I used to see it on my way to work, but I've been sleeping in a little lately. I've also seen a black one around the same area as well once or twice.

I need to start driving mine in on Fridays- driving the NSX home is a great way to start the weekend!

HA! - I actually drove through that parking lot to see if anything was going on. I did just that, I drove through because it appeared to be dead.

That red one belongs to John who works at Pohanka Acura (I think), per a tip I received from someone working at Sound Solutions.

I left at 10 'til 5, and it seemed that some people were just about ready to pack up for the day. A 300Z and an older VW coupe had just pulled up, but nothing I'd find interesting (the Z was riced). The classics were neat, including two pristine looking '57 Chevys and a '69 Mustang Mach 1.

So what about this gathering related to Asian Imports at Tysons? Seems like Sunday the 27th at a home in MD. Check out the DC area forum and see what it's about. Maybe we can boost participation as it seems to be open and meet each other.

Someone called me saying they saw me leaving BK around 5pm today just a few minutes ago - and I told them that it wasn't me and it was the other guy who has a silver NSX in the area. I guess they saw you instead.
