Well, I must say that I am surprised and shocked that the nature of your reply Todd. And I thought this was going to be such a nice little group.

I am sorry if Todd and an army of others take acception to my comments. The one nice thing about living in America is that freedom of speach is a God given right. I think your comments are unwarrented and unfounded. I think if you look back in the various threads and over the last 120+ posts, you will find that I have merely tried to pass along as much insight as possible that I have to share from experience. You might even recall a thread where I thougth this group was better than BMWCCA and others where a class structure seems to seperate others into groups. I have always felt that there is no difference between those buying a 1991 car or those buying a 2001 car.
The majority of the despariging remarks were pointed at those that buy a Ferrari for the ego factor and get a lot less car for a lot more money. I don't recall ever putting myself out there as being better than anyone because I have a 2000 NSX. If you take a look out there Akira3D has a new 2000 and he is a lot younger than I am.

I think that if you have no sense of humor, a chip on your shoulder, something to prove and terrible time paying for insurance and tires, then you might take issue with my comments. But that just means that you are taking life WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. The NSX is a car. It happens to be one of 15 that I have owned, but it is still a car. And reporting that I have owned 15 cars is not boasting, it is simply a fact. It means I have had the pleasure of driving lots of cars under a variety of circumstances and can fully appreciate how wonderful my NSX is.
I think if you ask anyone on this list that I have spent any time interacting with: Lud, Joel, Worldsport, Akira3D, you will find their opinion of me to be quite different than your would-be, so-called "group observations". I pitty you for taking anyone's comments, especially mine, so personnally that you feel you have to attack me in a public forum.
Somebody have something they want to get off their chest, then send me e-mail, but don't distort my record on these issues and don't read into my humerous quips some personal vendetta against younger owners that bought early year NSXs, I think that is unfounded and sad.
