I agree with Mike. An NSX wasn't what I was expecting, either. Nice car. The only other CL member I remember who had one was a guy named "doc"....a nice guy, but I haven't seen him post for quite a while.

You mentioned an accident in the front end. With the NSX all-aluminum body (like some Jaguars and Audis) did you have problems getting a good repair or have to go to a special body shop? Aluminum-bodied cars often have to.

Thanks everyone for your comments as for the accident, it was mainly frontend damage to fenders and bumper. If you click on the link, there are pictures of the damage. However, when my friend had the car apart, i found some damage to the side of the car along the frame rail that the previous owner did not disclose. So in the long run, im actually having the car repaired at my friends shop LCON Racecar Fab and having him seam weld the whole car, cage it, etc and just turn it into my track car. Im planning on buying another one as a daily most likely a targa top too. Ill get some pictures up of the interior, i have them somewhere
