I just purchased my first NSX yesterday after seriously considering one for the past year, and I absolutely made no mistake. She's a 93 with 67k miles on her and relatively stock, which I wanted.
Now onto the story of the interesting night. I've always been a defensive driver after years of driving as part of my job and now as a police officer, but I was extra paranoid after picking the car up yesterday. So I'm driving downtown going back to my place when I'm about to roll through a light that's green and a random thought pops into my head of "What if someone busts that light and t-bones me?". So I slow down and look to my right (one way) and what do I see but a Scion toaster oven slam on the brakes and slide sideways after realizing hey my light might be red. I stomped it and narrowly missed getting plowed into by this woman who slides sideways into the intersection and throws her hand up like "What did I do, fuck off". I was slightly perturbed to say the least.
Fast forward a few hours later while I'm heading to work. I pass this truck on the interstate, put on my blinker and get in front of him and think nothing else of it. Apparently my jap mobile offended his 'Murica pride and he hauls ass up to tailgate me. I start coasting. He jerks over, speeds up and jumps in my lane trying to hit me/force me off of the road. I have to jump into the emergency lane to keep him from hitting me and then he speeds off. Slight mistake on his part. I get on the radio and get a unit to pull him over. After about 5 miles and up to 100mph he gets off of the interstate and I exchange a few words and realize he's DUI. He gets stopped, makes the mistake of jumping out of his truck and gets slammed into his truck while he says "Hey it's you in the Ferrari!". I have to leave to go clock in, but I wind up taking primary on the call once I get out of roll call. So, I get to write this asshole tickets and take him to jail. He tried to be a dick but I ended up making him cry twice I pissed him off so bad. So yeah, quite an interesting first night of ownership indeed.
It's nothing fancy but here's a couple of pics. Something I've learned is pictures really don't do these cars any justice at all.
Right after the purchase
I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep when got off this morning after the chaos of what happened so I went to a Cars and Coffee for the first time and found a couple of siblings.
