I hope thats not NSX-Tech. He just brought a mint 2005 Red NSX up to Saskatoon.
I read the thread - looks like its him:frown:
There are some real asses on that forum, judging by some of the comments.
That really sucks. I mean really really sucks.
Regrets.

That does bite. He didnt get to enjoy it for very long.
On a side note. I thought that planning on attending NSXPO on bald RA1s was a bad idea, so Ive got Goodyear F1 GS-D3s coming my way (215/285). Should be a good off season tire. The dollar saved me a wack. $900 to my door, pre duty (if there is any which I dont think there is).

Not to hijack the tread, (which yes, really sucks)
Too bad you didn't have an extra (read OEM) set of rims to put the new rubber on. One set for prime time / summer, one set for off season. (John -> Good score!!!)
Good score on the price. I'm thinking of doing something similar. Nice tire!
Wow, that's really bad 
Hope he's ok...
Dave: great price on the tires! I think I ended up paying $1600 for the same locally, earlier this year.

Sorry bout the crash dude.
And yes, you guys, set of oem's with some all-seasons is what I drive in the later fall, winter and early spring. Better ride on our bad roads as well in Edmonton. There are some good V-rated 15/16s out there. Just adjust your driving and play it safe everyone. Going to get my oem rims powder coated finally in a black or gunmetal. Should be sweeter than stock color.
Hope all in Sask is ok, no bruises or injuries.

Yeah, Im an idiot for selling the stock rims to John! Oh well! Maybe Ill find a pair of 17/18 technos for the track.
I got the rubber from TIRERACK. The fronts were $150ish and the rears $270ish.

Dam...was the guy alright tho? How come no ones knows of what happened, unless he's too hurt right now to talk about it? But ya...some of the people in that forum really gives it to you eh. Which in my mind makes Prime 1ofakind and proud to be a member here. Puts me 1 step closer in making a donation

Yes I'm O.K. but the car has gone onto car heaven. As for details of what happened I will not be talking about it at this time. I would like to wait until things are settled with insurance. Although the car looks not bad there is over $95,000 in damage. One thing I would like to point out this was not in a residential area. The posted speed is 80 kph. I just picked a bad time to have my first accident. There were no injuries, no other vehicles or people involved. I had the car a total of 25 days and had put 2,000 miles on it. The car pastaway with 6258 miles on it. This was my second NSX and I do plan to replace it if the insurance pays a correct value on the car.
Glad to hear you're ok! As they say, cars can always be replaced...
Shit happens - its only a car. Hope it works out for you insurance wise. If you're gonna bust up an NSX, red is a great choice to do it in. 
Man, sorry to hear about this Rick.:frown: Glad your OK. Hope everything goes well and you can find another one quickly to fill the void!
Altho I've never met you, always glad to hear no one got hurt. But holy cow no one got hurt with those pics! Better put your hands together and have a silent moment. Walking away from that..how can you think of owning a different type of car
Come back onboard man peace.
I stand by the comments I made on beyond.ca in regards to this.
I'd sure like to see how that area, with intersections and what looks like businesses in the background is an 80 km/h zone.

I think the point is well taken. No need to be judge and jury here. You are in an Nsx forum, and we support our members when we post, and the ones that want to stay out of it, stay out of it. The Nsx owners here are not your average rice rocketeer. Altho I must say, many of us are not saints, doesn't mean you have to be so harsh on your words, and that evidently no one really likes to see an nsx owner, who just almost died, lost his pride and joy, and best of all, didn't hurt anyone else in the process. Being MIA for a while, I'm sure he had a lot to think about what just happened, and don't need a lecture from anyone regarding this life-turning incident. Even 'til now, no one knows what and how it happended, but even if we do, we have no liberty to say such. No offense, but you reacted like my friend's Dad when we were 13. "He broke his arm falling off his bike, and when I walked home with him, his Dad slapped him over the face *like 5 finger special on the cheek. On a 13 yr old, it took up the whole side of his head!* and yelled how stupid he was." (I never knew how good I had it until seeing that)
I think that it is impossible to figure out what happened from looking at those pictures and there is no upside in trying to guess.
I don't see the point well taken at all. If I crashed my car into a fence then onto a bike path, the last thing I would be expecting is sympathy.
Now, I'm not going to defend everyone's comments on beyond.ca; obviously there's some that are a little extreme. But I will defend my own, and I'm not going to back down from what I said.
Your "parenting" comment is a little off the wall. I don't see how that fits.
What I do want to know is the whole story. Even if it was an 80 km/h zone, the NSX is more than capable of handling most corners at that speed. Barring a mechanical failure that led to the crash, chances are either that the driver picked a bad a) spot b) speed or c) conditions to try and whip the car through a corner.
I'm no saint and I've never said anything like that. That said, I pick my spots. They don't include fencing and bike paths or other places where there's a very good chance people are going to be around.
Matter of fact, I crashed my NSX two weeks ago. I dove into a corner a little too fast, the back end stepped out, I overcorrected and went off the road. The difference? I was on a racetrack.
You're absolutely right. Most of us aren't. What this seems to be is another case where exotic car owners/drivers seem to be a little above the masses in a situation where, if it was a Cavalier or an Eclipse or whatever else, most of us would come down like the hammer of God condemming the driver for his actions.
It is a shame about the car. It looked like it was in mint shape. It's more of a shame that it was probably crashed doing something irresponsible.

Crazy stuff can happen WELL below the speed limit without having a mechanical.
Regardless, just because it happened in an NSX doesnt make it our business IMO. Its not like it was on a group drive.

Not meaning to get off post, and turn this into any personal with 95EagleAWD and me, but all I was mentioning was the morals behind judging things. This is why you are flaming him if i'm correct. We all do a little off the wall things. Weather it's getting your first supercar, or in my friend's case, a bike. He fell while jumping off a curb on the curved-edge of a driveway, which I'm sure most of us tried aswell. He, like Nsx-tech, obviously didn't want to fall and break his arm and the bike, or in adult cases, ram into a fence..smash your car to pieces, maybe even roll over a few times before that, then go to a hospital and get gloved in the ass from medical procedures(my buddy is an MD and he told me the procedures), and get needle shots for possible infections. The point is that his feelings of what happened is probably worse x 10 exp 10, than your words about his actions. For years my friend hated himself for ruining a bike his Dad bought him "brand new", and this special gift, that none of his friends' had at that age in my area, was now gone! Now he's a psycho and killed 5 people. lol..Just kidding..bet that was a good climax of story telling eh?
But anyhow, easy on the guy...a pro on the track could've posted stuff on what a bad choice you made on that corner aswell(which i'm sure it was a legitimate spin-off). Since i see you drive an Nsx aswell...I'm sure you have your own reasons of buying one, but don't deny the fact that part of the reason in purchasing this car was strictly for it's looks. Your decision to test the limits of the car on the track is in no doubt a great choice, and if Nsx-tech chose it there (pics), well...he's paying for it. Cannot accuse of someone of doing something that did not happen(Thinking you were implying that he "could've killed someone"). He's not a kid, and I think he knows now, if not before, the dangerous level the outcome could've been otherwise. Peace 95Eagle and rest well Nsx-tech.

Sorry to hear about your loss Rick,
Hope you are alright and everything works out for you..

There will be 7% duty and you might have very high customs charges depending on which company is delivering the wheels. UPS sucks.
I want that red car for parts. A least the engine and trans is OK. Maybe the wheels are OK too except for a little bend.
