Okay, what other sports cars did you own (or may still currently own) prior to purchasing/on your progression to the NSX. For me, first sports car was an Alfa Romeo Spider (oh-so unreliable but still beautiful), '65 Porsche 911 (subsequently sold to collector and shipped of to Germany for full restoration) and a '74 911 Targa. Of course I had alot of crap cars too (umm...plymouth horizon, chrysler new yorker) but let's forget about those.

All of the cars had manual transmissions, all of the cars but the 1965 Mustang where new, and I enjoyed each of the cars, but towards the end of my "ownership" I was ready for the next, I wonder how I'll feel when the lease is up on 2/1/06, a friend has already told me that he'd like to purchase the car when I'm replacing it. Maybe the "new" car will be the "next" NSX!!:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
