Hey everyone! My name's Izzy and I'm a new member to NSXPrime. I'm not the owner of an NSX, but my dad is and he told me that he's eventually going to be letting me drive the NSX once in a while. (from my conclusion, that means he'll let me drive it once in a while, which will lead to giving me the car! :biggrin
Well, to start off, we own a 1991 Acura NSX in what I believe is Berlina Black. My dad bought the car about 7 years ago. So here's the story:
My dad has owned a couple of corvettes, but never was too thrilled with them. So he went to Hoehn to test drive some Porsches.
He loved the 911's but it was way out of his price range. When him and one of the "vultures" came back from a test drive, my dad spotted a dirty Black Acura NSX with 65k miles sitting among a bunch of other Acuras in the service area. Apparently, it was just left sitting there for some time because, according to what my dad was told, the great Mr. Hoehn bought a newer NSX. So my dad curiously asked if it was for sale. The guy said yes. Sure enough, my dad test drives it, and loves it! So he asked how much they were asking. 30k. My dad ask them, "Will you take 25 for it?" SOLD!
SO, long story but in conclusion, we both love the car. The past few years have been kinda rough on it though, such as my dad and I rear-ending a supra (NOT totaled though!), repairing that, then just leaving it undriven in the driveway. Recently, my dad has told me to start fixing up the car, so I have for the past month. Brought the car back to life after being dead for 3 years. The car needs a bit of restoration now, and some potential mods. After my dad saw how much I've put into the car, he finally decided that he would let me drive it. :biggrin: Now, I'm working on the headlights because the motors are acting up and after that, I'll be working on the sound system.
Well, that's a lot to read, but I just want to say thanks for the great threads!!! (I've been reading TONS of threads for the past few months and have learned a lot!) Hopefully I can learn some more and eventually go on a cruise once I start driving the NSX! :smile:
