Hmmm mm...if I get buried with the car No One Else Will Ever Drive My Car....
Well…it’s the old saying…each to there own. I bought mine new in 94 and racked-up short of 300,000 km. Did I enjoy each and every minute…genuinely without question! Then one day I had the urge (sorry to say) to move on to something more modern for sake of a better term. I test drove a twin turbo at which point my wife looked at me as though I had completely lost my mine. The NSX she noted was rare and commanded presence on the road. So I did the unthinkable….the car ended up in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
ffice:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City> and was retooled. She came back with 449whp and some modern conveniences including blue tooth, awesome stereo and a compass which I might add is something I always missed…LOL.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

So driving the car on the street is one thing, the track another, but the day of reckoning came a week ago. I was driving home from golf on the 407.when a Z06 pulled right up to my rear bumper. He pulled alone side of me until enough was enough. We dropped down to 60 km (37mph) and then let it rip. Well….that Z06 saw my dust, A second and third time was inevitable but the results were the same (and in comfort I might add). We rolled down our windows; acknowledged each other at which point I knew then and only then that my decision was indeed the right one.<o></o>

@ Plastic: Nice!
Wow......300,000K....I am at 160,000K..... so still at least 140,000K of enjoyment to go.
i've heard of them going over 400,000 miles... you have a lot of enjoyment left.
