My 1998 Blk/Camel NSX arrived Thursday on a auto hauler! It was a little dirtier than when I saw it last, in fine shape otherwise except for the front lower valance that was hanging off on the left hand side, a result of grounding out when being loaded onto or off of the carrier, not too serious I can deal with that.
It was a stressful period waiting for a car to show up almost 2 months after its purchase, lots can go wrong, delays at the border, damage when its not in your posession and care.
But its all good now!
Gave the car a tender wipe down in order to install the cover. Now its tucked away in my underground parking spot. Just in time too, because Toronto just got hit with a winter storm which would have made a real mess of it.
GF asked me what I'm going to call it? I've had probably 20 cars so far, lots of them sports cars, Triumphs, MGB, Austin Healy 3000, 260Z, 911T and I've never given any of them names..
What gender would be most appropriate? feminine? she sure is sweet and has nice curves(lol), but is also masculine with the throaty roar from the ARK exhaust. So maybe names don't work...
Max comes to mind, as in Mad Max the Road Warrior, could be Maxine too..
No, probably won't work.
Nonetheless, its comforting to know its tucked away safely in my possession. Now its a matter of getting it inspected, saftied, emission tested and transfered into my name. A task a little more difficult as a result of my insurance company telling me the day it arrived I don't have insurance on it because its unplated and that they'll only allow you 14 days grace from the day you purchase the vehicle to supply them transfered title...
Just another headache to work through, spring and the first ride will make all of those issues seem trivial...
Come on spring!
