To all who inquired about my Nsx for sale, I thank you for not buying it. About two months ago I seperated from my wife of nine years. The one item she new I loved the most, was my newly aquired red 91 nsx.She didnt go after my Vette or Harley, but when it came to the beloved Nsx, she really had her sight set.So for the past two months I have been trying to sell the car on this sight and autotrader. Yesterday, to my surprise my ex-wife to be, called me and said she would take the Vette and I can keep my Nsx. I have had many cars in the past years, but the way the Nsx feels and drives, there is no car that measures to it. The past cuople of months have been rough, but this is a bleasing in surprise. So to all who past up the great deal on my car. Thank you all for not buying it. I have never been so happy not to sell something I had for sale.
Thanks for not buying my nsx

Sometimes good things happen when we least expect them. Good luck in the future.
David, why do I get a feeling you know where I was coming from? Thanks......
I work until 5pm, but I would love to come. I will try to leave work a little eary. I think it is only about 70minutes from my house in downtown Milw to O'hare area.
A little off topic but, does anyone else just completely cringe when they hear things like this? I mean, what the %$&! does a car or money have to do with a divorce????!!!!!! Just because a 'relationship' doesn't work out, because the love isn't there anymore or whatever, doesn't give either party the right to take any of the other's possessions or cash!!! Just go your separate ways and go on with your life. Jeez. I understand paying for your kids and helping out with that, of course, but that's it! And I wouldn't need any court to tell me to pay for them or how much either. I just get so friggin' frustrated when I hear stories like this. And what's more, is that the guys just talk about it like it's normal and 'ok'. AARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for letting me vent.
Are you going through a divorce? Just wondering.
A relationship doesn't. A marriage does. A marriage is recognized as a legal union and contract. All increases in net worth during the marriage are considered to be attributed equally to both spouses, regardless of who did the work.
If you were worth $1 million when you got married, and your wife had zero net worth, and you are together worth $2 million when you get divorced, according to the law you are entitled to $1.5 million of assets and she is entitled to $500K. That's a simplistic view of the divorce laws, but that's the way it works on a theoretical level.
If you aren't willing to have your relationship treated in that way, then don't get married.
Divorce almost always involves a lot of pain and tragedy for both parties, even if both recognize its necessity. Division of property is only one of the many ways in which that pain shows up.
That's right. And if you had the NSX prior to the marriage, then a pre-nuptial agreement should cover any assets acquired before the union.

No, what you mean is, good thing she didn't get the car and sell it for $1 just to piss YOU off. Like in this urban legend.
Sorry you have to go through a divorce.
I've seen pictures of a friend's wife taking a brand new Expedition and sending it to the crusher after it was only weeks old. And then sending the pictures to her soon-to-be-ex-husband at the office for him to find in the morning. Oh yeah, baby. Push those buttons! I'm still shocked. Unbelievable.
Pre-nupt agreements are not ironclad. There are legal ways around them as if the spouse is willing to present the right story and keep the cash flowing into the lawyers until one side gives up.
Even though you may settle communal property before the actual divorce, the courts could decide otherwise.
Good luck to you!

Marriage has become more like a 'business partnership' these days than a Marriage.
Which is a shame, coz Marriage has some real big advantages if it's treated right.
Glad to hear u still have a woman (the NSX) in your life DURIM91NSX...

You know, I think it's about time that priests altered the vows to reflect the sign of the times. They should completely obliterate the part of "...til death do you part" mumbo-jumbo.

yeah... maybe change that to "until one of the following clauses are met":
1) Someone better comes along,
2) You get a decent $$$ return to make it economically viable to split,
3) you feel you've been patient enough
4) you feel justified to leave
5) your career takes off and becomes more important.
6) it becomes legal to marry an NSX.
Please don't take this offensively anyone... just appears to be the way things are these days.
NSXTASY: that's an awesome Urban Legend! Posting it to my mate who wants a porsche...

This is why I am 37 and still unmarried. I do not wish to give anything to anyone who has not earned it. There are good people in this world but I seem to only see the greed in people. Fifty percent of my friends are being boned with massive child support payments. Twenty-Five percent have been stripped of everything in a divorce. The remaining Twenty-Five percent are unhappy. My brother-in-law is a law enforcement officer, at his work place there are FIVE other officers that have impregnated the same woman(she is knock dead gorgeous). She collects over 100K total a year from all five in child support. Needless to say she does not work and has no plans to.
Can someone tell me what the advantages are of getting married or having kids????
I find it very hard to find someone who has put as much effort into their future as I have. I find it very hard to feel close to someone who I feel is being kept dry by my umbrella.

In her case, the expression should be "knock up gorgeous".
Steveny,
Don't you know that a guy's stock goes up with women as he ages?!
You're in line for a 21 year old chick when you hit 40!

Jeez.....talk about some slow learners. And these guys are allowed to carry guns?
Steveny,
If you don't know what the advantages of a wife & kids are, no one can explain it to you.
And with an attitude of "I do not wish to give anything to anyone who has not earned it.", I can see why you haven't found anyone to marry.
The only way to truly LOVE, is to be able to give all you have expecting nothing in return.
Seeing my son smile at me from the Leather carseat in the NSX (priceless). Looking at hot babes is nice, but a smile from a one year old son, melts my heart.

As luck would have it, tonight its official(when I learned it), my parents who have been married for 15 years are getting a divorce.
I'm 26 on Monday, my Father raised me as a single father when my birth mom cheated on him and he kicked her out and divorced her when I was just over a year old.
With my Father's current marriage, they separated for many weeks, that I knew, and have been trying to make it work the last few months, but, I had a feeling this was coming.
Ahh, well. I'm going to collect my toys and go about my business until the right one comes along and smacks me across the senses.

All due respect of course, but $10 bucks says this isn't the reason you aren't married. The real reason is pretty obvious.
The love and affection of a good woman is the best gift a man could ever get. Add a child into the mix and you'll be left wondering what on earth you did to deserve such a rich and fulfilling existence. Marriage, like most things, is what you make of it.
All due respect, but me thinks you need some new friends. "If you want to be wise, walk with the wise." Maybe cliche, but there's a certain truth to you becoming like what you hang around with.
Again, all due respect, but $10 bucks says you don't sponsor a hungry kid in Africa nor are you the most generous guy around. You should relieze that no one gets to the top of the heap by themselves. And getting to the top is even better when you have someone to share it with. Actually, that's the best part!!
Wow, the list is long and distinguished. Good question. In no particular order and I guess others can add to it too:
-enrichment and fulfillment
-companionship
-being in love
-sharing/enjoying life
-creating life, ahem, nice way of saying regular sex with a "bonus." Bonus turns out to be pretty cool.
-love of a child
-not to mention various income and tax advantages, particularly if wife is a sugar mama or child turns out to be Tiger Woods.
A family of 6 on 100K is still a huge effort to make work. Maybe it's just me, but I doubt they're living high off the hog. And what is she supposed to do? Work a full time job to pay for daycare expenses for 5 children?
It's late or early rather here, but would you care to elaborate?
WHOA.
Before we get too personal & wander way off topic, let's just agree that marriage (and kids) aren't for everyone. Maybe such an individual doesn't want the responsibility, or doesn't want to contribute to the overpopulation and resource depletion of our planet, or would rather spend the fruits of his labor on himself. But whatever the reason, it's a personal decision and no one else's business. Agreed?
Now let's get back to talking about NSXs.
