So... I AM SUPER STOKED....
I'm not going to go all into the details, but as a Honda fan since I was a kid growing up in Minnesota - the NSX was the supercar I always wanted. Of course I had posters of Ferraris, Porsches and Lambos - but given everyone around me was hating on Japanese cars in the 80s/90s - I rooted for the underdog. As an F1/Senna fan my heart was deeply into the NSX. I new that at one point in my life I wanted to own what I think is the ultimate NSX - the NSX-R. NA1 does it for me - I'm a popup light fan. But as we know getting one is hard. I tried for 6 months with multiple brokers to find what I think is the best spec for me - 1995 Championship White, Red Seats, and the White 7 spoke wheels. When my brokers did find it - they were asking 500k and above... before they would even ship from Japan. The BAT auction had a green one - but I don't view that as an iconic NSXR color - I wanted the color that Senna was heel/toe'ing in his white socks and loafers. Anyways, a friend of mine, I remember had one in the states. So I asked him if he had a contact to help me find one. Low and behold, he was selling his. He was going to put on BAT, but given I was local, given he knew ho wmuch I loved the NSX, we did the sale... and now I'm a proud owner of an NSX-R. I've owned many cars in my life, but this is a keeper - unless financial calamity hits - I would sell my other forever car first - my Mexico Blue roof-scooped 675LT. The car is pristine with 25k miles. Great records. Clean CARVX.
Also shout out to Ryu who I messaged a lot during the process and kept me level headed. And the multiple NSX-R threads here. Very helpful.
So here are the pics!
