Prior sports cars leading up to the NSX

[martin]

Umm, I thought this thread was about sports cars prior to the NSX?!

Camry? Accord? not.

The NSX is my first sports car. What a debut!

Hi

So you are saying that this is not a sports car?:

I guess not. The Prelude I had was sporty, but the NSX is my first "real" sportscar.

Regards

1985 Toyota MR2; loved it; sold in 1997 when I got--

1997 Acura Integra GS-R; most trouble-free car I've ever had, but not as endearing as the MR2.

[paulviriyapan]

Well Mr. Bolen, you're free to start the thread! (I'd do it but I don't ride)

P.S. you choose some pretty unreliable rides for college (well 'cept the Datsun). The Alfa spider managed to get me through college and law school, but I now realized I would have had alot better cash flow (no repair costs) if I had just bought a Honda.

Actually, all of my British machines served me quite well and I learned how to find good deals on cars with easy to fix problems.
Made money on every one of them when I sold them. This was in the '70s, and there was not too many fun cars to be had for $500-$2000. The British Roadsters also help cull out the women - those that complained about the wind blowing their hair didn't get to the second date.

 

[NSXLuvr]

1991 Ford Escort GT- does that count?
1997 Prelude- closer but still no cigar.
