*7-31-2009 @ 18019/28,999 km ONT title issued, still carried assembled / salv title.


Further insight:


- Southfield, MI, is a major Detroit suburb and a rather "savage" car environment.  Lots of freeways/office buildings/apts and condos, and crashes.  Possible this was a "daily driver."

- No doubt the insurance company ran this NSX through a salvage auction.

- The London, KY, area is the vehicle rebuilding and title washing capital of the entire region.  Any KY police officer, even part-time, can sign off on a salvage title to restore the vehicle to roadworthy use again (i.e.  no special training/no auto theft or vehicle I D experience necessary).

- Obviously, the prior salvage designation (called a branded title) followed this NSX into Ontario.

- With inspection info posted by myw this evening, perhaps this vehicle was hit left side?  Wonder if bags deployed somehow?
