Is your car a daily or "weekend/fun" car..and how long have you had it with how many miles. I dont have an NSX yet but here it goes.. 91 Toyota MR2 207k miles..2001 TA(26 mos) 12.3k miles

2001 TA
1991 MR2

My 1992 NSX is my daily driver (my only car, actually). 114k miles and counting, had it around 3 years, bought it with, IIRC, 60k miles. However, my friend's 1995 white MR2 is his weekend-only car, and low on miles.

My NSX is my weekend car but usually taken out once or twice during the week. I drive EVERYWHERE on the weekends, and have logged about 1000 miles a month still.

My daily driver is a 89 Madza MPV, I love it, it makes driving the NSX much better because of the switch of cars, has 179,000 miles on it and still runs great =)

If I had a sporty decent driver it would kill me because I would end up modifying it to some extent..
 
Daily Driver (in the Spring/Summer/Autumn), 118K miles.

Sold a '93 MR2 Turbo (to my brother) to get the NSX. I still drive the MR2 (102K miles) occasionally.

Winter ride is a '91 CRX with 178K miles.

I obviously don't like cars that aren't:

1. Early Nineties Vintage

2. Two Seaters

3. Have at least 100K miles

Nina was the daily during the summer, now Katrina has been the daily up til about a week ago, when Mina took over after she got a gps so I dont get lost...now Katrina (who was my daily back before I ever had Nina or Mina) is my secondary with Nina my weekend car, unless I get overly bored then Katrina or Nina become my dailies and Mina sits at home, but if the weather gets bad, then its back to Mina.

At this momment, Mina is the daily, Kat and Nina are weekenders, and I am looking to make Nina the secondary daily when she is fixed.

weekend or during the week if the weather is nice... my daily driver is a 2000 honda cr-v. because of my job, if i'm off, i'm home so it makes weekday driving easier.

My 91 NSX has 21k miles on it. I use it mostly on weekends and a couple nights during the week when it is nice. It is now in storage until April/May.

My daily driver is a 01 Montero with 30k miles.

Juggling too many women can rack your brains out. Oh well, such is the busy life of a "player"--in the automotive sense in your case.

Mine is a Daily Driver. Its also my only car. I would like to get something cheap though so I dont have to worry like hell when I park at walmart

Definitely a weekender (cheaper insurance too!) with 55k mi (91 red/black). Daily driver is a 95 Stealth (w/65k mi), with an 02 Mustang GT (w/400mi) waiting to take its place.
 
Used to be my daily driver (had no problems other than the very wet Oregon Winters), lately it splits time with the Land Cruiser.

The NSX also gets extra garage time if it is in the front of the garage (stupid 2 car garages that stack end to end), in that case I drive the Benz

For 2 whole years (also winter) was daily driven but last spring I added a cheap beater for winter/rain duty. In the last spring/sommer/fall I did 5000 miles on the NSX and 3000 on the Renault. For the upcoming winter the NSX will get 0 miles...

Not messing or challenges, just looks.

I know some of the other local ITR owners and Honda enthusiasts. Those who don't know me probably figure, "What's that old guy doing in the Type R? What a waste." Little do they know...
