I just wanted to share my story thus far towards obtaining my goal of owning an NSX for others out there who might be in the same boat as me. This is intended just to be motivational for all you guys and maybe to show that patience is the most important thing to consider when trying to reach that goal.
I joined this forum in 2004 while searching the web for everything I could find about the beautiful vehicle Honda produced for the few lucky owners out there. I've always loved the NSX, even at a very young age. I took in everything on this website and it's been in my bookmarks ever since. It is such a wonderful resource. I remember reading the FAQ (before it was Wiki) and thinking man I want to own one of those color combinations with less than 10 made lol. I still visit every single week to keep myself motivated and focused (and up to date on the market price :wink: )
When I was 17 I decided that I HAD to own an NSX someday. When I say own I do not mean take out a loan (rent to own as I like to call car loans), I mean own. I set out a plan during my senior year in high school. I was going to go to school in a field that paid well and was enjoyable. Now I am not the most intelligent guy out there when it comes to math and science but I decided to go into mechanical engineering as it was very interesting and fit the pay criteria. I struggled through the first two years of school but eventually got the hang of it. I then switched to a Physics major my junior year as it peaked my interest even more. Unfortunately it also made school more difficult.
Well I am now in my final year of school with a measly 4 hard classes left. I've paid off all my debts so far and worked 30+ hours a week during school to avoid academic debt. I will be graduating this coming May. I already have a two potential jobs set up that both pay well enough to finally accelerate me toward my goal.
Although my savings haven't materialized much during school my current plan will allow me to purchase outright an NSX in the 40K range in 26 more months :smile:
Now I probably know that many of you are thinking 26 months?! Thats a long way out. But hear me out... I've been planning this purchase since I was 17. I am now 23, and will purchase the car at age 25. So I'm 4/5 of the way there already. I'm on the final stretch.
I just wanted to poke my head out of the lurker cave and share my excitement with everyone. I can finally see my very own NSX materializing on the horizon :biggrin:. VTEC will hopefully engage starting this May and she'll be in my hands before I know it. It seems like every year goes faster than the last.
Those of you out there that are like me keep on working hard! Good things come to those who earn their assets and work their way through life. You'll get there eventually.
