I am by no means an original owner but I am damn proud that I own an original 91.
When the NSX's 1st appeared at dealers in the Pacific NW, they were always roped off, with "do not touch" blah, blah......
In '94 drove by an Acura dealer in Bellevue, WA & there were 4 parked out in front - 2 red & 2- black. Pulled in asked to drive one & took it home....purchased many more from this dealer who was low key from day 1.

But now comes the part that says more about car dealers than anything -- after all the papers were signed and after all the grief they gave me, the sales manager comes over with a sheepish look and asks me if I wouldn't mind leaving the car there for a week or so, so that people could see it up close since they probably wouldn't get another one for a few months. What?!!! These guys have no shame! But remember, back then you couldn't test drive the car, you couldn't even touch it. Honest. They had the car roped-off with red velvet ropes and chrome stands. It was the star attraction. And obviously, drawing a lot of people into the dealership.
On Friday I flew to Seattle and picked the car up from the gentleman in Olympia. Drove her back to Phoenix over the weekend, car was flawless during the trek.
I would like to personally thank you for sending him the window sticker which I now have! That was very generous and courteous of you, appreciate it.
Congratulations Neil....that was a quick up & back!
