Tired of all these perfect clean NSXs

Those NSX's are some dirty girls! 
You do realize it's a sin to not keep your NSX clean.

amen. keep your baby clean. *tear*
I love it. With all the hype about keeping these cars in 'mint' condition, it is nice to see some with some real world battle scars !
Neo,
I think you are right.
I think you are right.
I hope if I ever decide to sell mine that, those three are parked right next to mine. I should be able to get an extra $2 - 3 grand. 
man...youd think with all that water (snow) lying around, these cars should be spotless...obviously I'm from CA
LMAO
the damn water wouldn't come out of the hose.
give a new definition to the term 'frozen rope'
Two-tone winter beater
Actually, I forgot to make a couple of important points.
1. This is my third winter and the car has often looked like this in spite of more regular washing. There are lots of places for salty snow to collect and while I'm at work, it sits in heated parking so the snow/salt melts and creates one of the worst possible corrosive environments (although not quite as bad as living near the ocean). Anyway, the point I'd like to make is that I have yet to see any negative impact on the body or undercarriage. I think the guy in Toronto with 500km's on his '92 is another 'proof point' that the car holds up very well contrary to those who worry about those kinds of things.
2. I've come to the conclusion that by washing it more often in the winter, I probably put the finish at greater risk trying to get that road grime off of there.
3. I've also come to the conclusion that clean, shiny exotic cars probably attract more resentment and reaction from those who might damage it. Heck, who'd damage it .. it already looks like it's been vandalized! I take it everywhere .. Walmart, Home Depot, the malls, the grocery stores .. it's wonderful to not have to stress over it.
4. From day one, I have intentionally challenged the notion that the car couldn't be an all season daily driver so to some extent, the look is sort of a 'badge of honor'.. proof that I've been out there going toe-to-toe with the SUVs. We had a major storm through here about 2 weeks ago (50 car pile-up and a 20-car pileup due to ice and bad visibility) and I saw people's jaws drop when they saw the car. The snow was so deep I was levelling it and a couple of times I'd hit a drift and it would come up over the hood (because I have the center opening blocked off). Wish I'd taken some pictures!
It's one thing to make a great sports car .. it's another to make a great sports car that's also a great daily driver all year round. We are blessed .. you have no idea how good this car really is!

Wow, I'm impressed that there's this many of us running around with snowtires on there car, I thought I was the only one crazy enough. although it is quite surprising how well it actually does do go through the snow though. I've passed many suv's in the ditches and got quite a few concerned looks from others as I cruise past them.

Lance: NSX in snow with top removed That looks like fun!
Do you have any more pictures of your car? I don't think I've seen an NSX-T with black top (other than ones with black bodies, of course).

Awesome pic !!
LOL!! I love those pics. I wish I had saved one from several years ago when I was in the much missed '92 NSX and ended up going down a road that ended up being MUD!! The entire car was brown from the window line down!! It took me several hours to clean it up, but it looked funny.

That was coincidental...but it is funny that you asked, because sometimes when I take off the wheels to clean them I line them up to be like that on purpose. I am weird I guess...
Additional pictures per Ojas request
Yeah I did in Championship white with a black top to give it the JDM nsx R look. I love the kind of dingy white and figure it might be kind of cool to have a targa with a black top. It also ties nicely with the carbon hood and lip thats usually on the car. And of course saved me some time and trouble when I was painting it since the car was originally black.

Re: Additional pictures per Ojas request
Nice car!! So your '95 NSX-T was originally black?? Was it involved in an accident, or did you just decide to repaint it?? It looks great by the way. But then again, I am kind of partial to white as both my '94 NSX and my S2000 are white. Championship White was only on the Integra Type-R over here, am I correct? Either way it looks awesome!!
