I've had seven NSX's in eight years. I've regretted selling every one, but for different reasons. My first was a red 96 targa. That was the car that got me hooked on these. I then bought an LBB coupe. This car I eventually sold to a guy in Hong Kong. It was a fantastic car, but I sold it to buy a 997 C2S because I felt like I needed a change. I kept it for three months! There was nothing wrong with the car, but I didn't gel with it like the NSX. So I sold it and bought another LBB. Unfortunately killed this one on track. A very painful experience. Certainly driving it home with pieces of headlight floating around and part of the front wing stuck up in the air was a little soul destroying.
I then bought a red 04 coupe fantastic car. Sold after a year. An imola targa, which looked fantastic. I'd missed that open air experience. Then by accident another red coupe and again another red coupe.
Throughout my ownership experience, I, like many owners battled with the thought of buying something else. Largely I think for the experience of owing something new. Not because I see them as a long time proposition. Certainly a Cayman R, a Boxster Spyder appeal. As does a 997 GT3 or an exige. But honestly, every time I go to buy something else, I find I can't actually make the jump. I then sit in front of the trader looking for another NSX.
Perhaps it's the search for the right car? Perhaps I know deep down that there is nothing out there like an NSX.
