Hell even my daily drivers are garage queens.
Are you really exercising that NSX while you are running out for groceries, or sitting in traffic on your commute to the office?
I find the idea of driving a sports car everyday as ludicrous as the idea of driving my sedan, or my SUV at the track.
What if you drive it often enough to enjoy it, and never sell it?
BTW- this is all silly argument IMO. Every person enjoys things in a different way.
Let me ask all of you "drivers" a rhetorical-

The NSX is for a run to enjoy the changing foliage. The NSX is suited for the twisty roads that go nowhere in particular, or a cruise on a warm summer evening that might get a bit athletic if the traffic is sparse and the mood is right.
That's not to say I disapprove of your choice to enjoy your NSX differently. I understand you guys love your cars, and I applaud your sacrifice. Personally when I am sitting in traffic on my commute to the office every day I prefer heated seats, an automatic transmission, and a functional cup holder.
I think daily driving an NSX is like using thoroughbred to pull the plow.
But that's just me.

I dont feel like I sacrifice much. I can find enjoyment driving the car in any type of road/weather condition.
Theres cars that get worse gas mileage, are less comfortable, are less fun, and less practical. NSX was designed for the average enthusiast to be able to daily drive it, track it, and still be able to afford the maintenance
Id find daily driving a Ferrari or Lambo much more ridiculous. That is unless you can afford to rack up the miles, at that rate more power to ya haha.
I totally agree with the person who said, "if you don't drive your car you are just saving it for the next owner to enjoy!" I saw this first hand when I bought a car and barely drove it for a 2 years. After I sold it I felt bad that I wasted all that time owning it sitting in my garage. I drive my car whenever I can but since I have 3 cars and one is a company car for commuting I don't put a lot of miles on either of my garaged cars. I am not afraid to track my nsx though. I think that is the best place to drive it and see how it feels.
I would love to have VegasNSX's car except I can't fit in his seats. You have to weigh 165 lbs or less to squeeze in his race seats. I am too fat for his car.
The problem is, I have to spread the road miles out over the other "queenies" in the barn :smile:
I guess it's a garage queen (not driven in rain if I can help it), but 20% of its miles are track events.
WOW 48 states for the NSX!!!! I find that amazing in ANY car let alone the NSX based on your criteria. My wife and I have this goal to take pictures next to all 50 state "Welcome Signs" just on vacations :biggrin:
We've got Alaska covered but I can assure you we are still nowhere near even 30 states!
