I know this has been said already, but I too work extremely hard for my money and unless someone proves to me that reincarnation is a reality, I'm going to savior every minute that I own my NSX. Yes, for the money, I could have owned a 328, S2000, used 911 and now a recently minted 350Z. But, I wanted a car that would excite me everytime I slide behind the steering wheel and glanced over the sloped hood onto the road ahead. As for my wife,she drives a 9000 Aero, not slouch by any means. She appreciates sporty cars because she constantly points to Porsches and says, "Now that's a beautiful car." But, she fails to notice that many of those Porsche owners secretative glance at my car from behind their dark-tinted sunglasses, studying the NSX's classic lines while acknowledging the rarity of my Acura. Lately, when we go to the car wash, she's became more and more aware that the NSX is not just an ordinary, "see one everyday" kind of car. I occasionally catch her taking second and third looks at my car while other drivers admire the car she has just exited. Sometimes people ask her questions about the car, and she gladly accepts all the compliments and inquiries posed. I can, however, appreciate that some irritation takes place when driving the NSX and getting admiring stares from good looking, younger woman and sports-car astute guys. When this occurs, I just sit back, pretend I don't notice and watch her trying to be "cool" pretending to ignore those longing stares. On occasion, I've even caught her smiling back at passer-bys as if to say, "Yes, I know this is a great looking car, and and I'm married to its proud owners."
For an 11 year old car and the two middle-agers ensconced in the cockpit that's a pretty "cool" feeling.
