OK, is seems like I have been waiting forever for this car to get here, but in actuality it has only been since June 5th. Horseless Carriage delivered it today and I was quite happy to see it survived the trip intact.
BTW, they had a beautiful 67 Corvette roadster, (restored to all original condition) and a hot rod 56 Chevy riding with the NSX. I wish he could have delivered those along with my NSX.....kind of brings back my youth.
The first thing I did was check the car out and wipe it down to check for damage. Then off to get a smog check. $79 later and I am now ready to take it to DMV on 7/7 to pick-up my license plates. They already held me up for $5,227 dollars which I begrungingly turned over. I would have felt better about it if they had used a gun! Shouldn't used car taxes be illegal or something?
On 7/6 it goes in to Acura for a 30K service and valve adjustment and alignment. The wheel is a little off center to the left. Even though it only has 13K on it, I want to make sure that everything is right and it is in perfect condition with all new fluids, etc.
My wife and I took it to dinner tonight and she drove with the top off. She could not stop smiling. She just loves the car, I bought it for her as a toy for the weekends. Her daily driver is the '01 CL Type S, which is actually a pretty nice ride too.
I had to buy her the NSX because a year ago I sold her '97 993 C2S (Oh, for those that don't speak German, that is a wide-body 911) becasue it was getting ready to go out of warranty and I was just tired of the car. It was always having some stupid little problem requiring a trip to the dealership. They may have renamed their customer waiting after me in consideration of all of the time I spent there!
I can't wait to spend a day waxing, cleaning, the whole car. I have a nice 3 car garage, Denon surround sound stereo, etc. that makes it enjoyable and relaxing.
Oh, amazingly, the car came from Bridgewater Acura in NJ and even though a recent PDI inspection report indicated it was to be filled with gas, the tank was empty, needle well into the red, when the car arrived. i I was afraid I would not make it to the gas station it was so low. Took $40 exactly to fill it. I will have to check with the dealership and see if they just forgot to fill it or what. Bridgewater Acura has been a very good dealership to deal with, I am sure that was just an oversight on their part. But I will let you all know.
I will also take some photos this weekend and post them so that you can all see OUR 2001 Formula Red with tan NSX-T. It is 100% stock.
OK time to relax - car is nicely tucked into the garage with the two others. I hope they all get along!
