You know you own an NSX when...

It annoys me when strangers on the street ask me how much I paid for my cars.
But some people are super pushy and say "no really, how much?" I'm not sure how to deal with those types yet.
My stock answer is "you can buy one from 25K to 80K" which usually leaves them puzzled enough to not follow up with "well, how much is yours?"
which gets the automatic response "somewhere in there, but its not for sale"
works like a charm and conveys that its actually none of their business
If a guy is seriously asking about pricing because he genuinely is in the market, that's a different discussion
When your sitting at the bar and you hear the guy next to you talking about your car in the parking lot with his friends. Then whenever someone else came along he asked them if they saw his new car outside. I just listened.
Awesome answer, I've been trying to find a smart answer for shrugging off that stupid question without sounding like an a-hole for a while now, I'm definitely going with this.
When, out of habit, you park all of your vehicles including the SUV one foot away from the concrete parking stops and curbs. Or, when you drop your car off at your NSX mechanic's shop for several days to get some projects done and you visit every day to look at your car then you clean/detail all of the parts he's taken off and in places no one will ever see.

When the first thing you after bringing the NSX home is call the Alarm company and ask for a sensor for the garage door 
When muscle car guys say it's the only Honda that they would consider owning.

lol.. I can relate - I installed a CCTV system.

Guilty - well, 2 sensors, because I have 2 doors. But it is one of the first things I did when I got the NSX home.
You're willing to spend as much as you paid for the car on upgrades
Maybe said before
but when you pull some part off the car
then spend time making it look as it look the day it came off the showroom floor
then put it back on knowing someone will never see it.
....
These cars are so nice ... so well designed ... they deserve the attention.

I pick up my 8 y/o son from school and all the boys stare trying to make out the car and then say hey nice NSX.

^^ Haha, I thought about that the first day I bought it
When your daily driver needs an oil change, inspection sticker, new cv boot and a serious cleaning to remove the bird turds damaging the paint all over it but you hurry home to polish the exhaust tips of your NSX instead

When it's the first monthly car payment *ever* that you're not even slightly irked about since it's pretty much money in the bank if maintained well and not wrecked, the interest rate is so low (thank you Penfed), and....of course because of what it's for...

... when you find yourself getting up with the baby in the middle of the night and doing random chores around the house you haven't done in years as willing penance to your wife and as an added measure of assurance to her that it "was a good idea" and "in her best interest" to buy an NSX.
When you get a random text message in the middle of the night from a friend asking you to send a picture of your NSX, cause the guy he is talking to doesn't believe he has a friend with a NSX.
This.
And This.
Plus someone from the kitchen area runs to the drive-thru window and asks if they can take a picture of the car, then runs to the side door and outside to take said picture.
And when your Corvette friend calls it a Unicorn.

When you wake up late for work in the morning, yet you spend 20 minutes checking new threads on Prime before hitting the shower.
Definitely this.
