The Daily Driver Bug must have bitten

[MartinSD]

Greetings

I pulled out onto Highway 17 north heading for the 280 interchange this morning in Black Beauty. I noticed as I got close to my exit onto 280 north that there was a black G1 -- 3 or 4 cars behind me in traffic -- I don't know who owns it.

Took the loop to get onto 280 north and I drove past a yellow G1 that was queued in the on ramp to merge onto 280 north -- again, no idea who owns it.

Took Lawrence exit north and saw a silver G1 going the same direction. I lost him in traffic and do not know where he got off of the expressway. I have never seen that many on the road in a dozen miles of traffic before. I guess the daily driver bug bit the other drivers -- I drive mine to work every day.

Cheers,
Martin

Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is a G1?

 

[usafdarkhorse]

I think he means Gen1.

Odd way of referencing the pop-up light guys, but oh well. :tongue:

 

[ChopsJazz]

G1?

Oh, you mean NA1 headlights. :wink:

 

[usafdarkhorse]

G1?

Oh, you mean NA1 headlights. :wink:

Yeah except NA2s have them too :biggrin::wink: -a la Ken Sax

we really need to come up with a OFFICIAL DENOMINATION on prime.

I am getting tired of Na1 vs Na2 vs 91-01 vs 02+ vs 3.0 vs 3.2 vs AT been 3.0 vs Na2 Coupes vs Na1 3.2 vs Na1 3.0 vs Na2 02+ vs 95-95 targa Na1 vs 02+ Na1/2 for 3.0 engines ... arghhhhhhhh arguments ..

We really need a final name.

maybe the names should be:

Gen 1 "style" : 91-01 (no matter if it's 2001 3.2 Na2 or a 91 Na1 coupe)

Gen 2 "style" : 02-05 facelift + asslift jobs

or IF the engine makes the difference when been more specific:

Na1 3.0
Na2 3.2
Na2 02+
02+ 3.0 AT

People should use those from now on examples:

"Oh I saw a Gen 1 Style body @ the highway"
"Oh I saw Oscar's Na2 3.2 @ the meeting"
"Oh i saw a blue gen 2 style @ the parking lot"
"There's a 02+ 3.0 AT yellow for sale (it's obvious is a Na1 engine)"

I called them G1 and G2 because several of my owner friends call them that. My peve is when people mistakenly refer to a car as NA1 or NA2 when that has no relationship to all years of production.

Let's keep it simple NA1 and NA2......then only NSX guys will know what we are referring too.

Let's keep it simple NA1 and NA2......then only NSX guys will know what we are referring too.

This is simpler. NA1 and NA2 are complicated -- how can you tell the engine, transmission, and year when seeing one in traffic. G1 and G2 are simple.

How can you tell a 02+ from a 91 with the 02+ face lift while driving on the street? Is that a G1, G2 or a G1 Poser?

 

[yoojeankim]

How can you tell a 02+ from a 91 with the 02+ face lift while driving on the street? Is that a G1, G2 or a G1 Poser?

OR how can you tell a 02+ with a 91 face lift while driving on the street? Is that a G1, G2 or a G2 Poser? HMM :tongue:
