Back in the Game – Can’t Believe I Got an Acura

The NSX is the only car I totally missed after selling and had to buy another one. I ended up selling my white one and last year bought a Berlina Black just to get back in the game. Now I'm about ready to sell this one and move into an NA2. I really love the Coupe and manual steering though so I'm torn. I drove a Long Beach Blue 02 and it was great, but I did miss the manual steering on the early NA1s. I can live with it though. My NA1 has a lot of the 02 cosmetic updates already. My friend had an 05 White/Camel, but White/White is a super rare bird.
yes, some told me the early years, the steering is "old school" but they prefer it. same with the coupe, some say they can feel the difference. for me i probably prefer the NA2 coz' it's faster, but i haven't driven a coupe to experience that part
hope to see updates from you soon!

Very nice! Congrats! I too remember seeing that NSX pop up on my local CL & thinking what a gem that car is. I sold my NA1 NSX a few months ago & promised myself I WILL get another one in the future 
. I was so close to pulling the trigger on one a few weeks back. Agree on the attention thing, it almost got annoying & had me super paranoid to leave the car parked anywhere on the street while I'm inside say a restaruant or bar. Having 2 cars staying in your blind spots on the freeway while trying to get a picture of your car isn't unusual too, it got annoying how I could almost never make a lane change on the freeway unless I stomped on the gas 
Also you might be happy to know that a theres a thread dedicated to your NSX(besides Prime) on s2ki.com Bay Area section, with tons of people drooling over it when it was first listed on CL. Enjoy the car! The car has so much history behind it that it is a true automotive masterpiece.

have you noticed the left side of the foot well is a bit cramped? that was my only negative impression of driving the car.

The NSX is the best ergonomically designed mid engine sports car in history ever................well except the Mclaren F1

I can't make a u-turn in some areas where my van can do it easily
you are not alone. i talked to a lot of people, and EVERY ex-nsx owner they regret selling theirs and they ALL told me to try hold on to the car, otherwise i will regret too.

chris, get off work early tmr! henry wants to meet up too 
but come on, it's just a stock car, yours is beautiful
paul, i am 5' 7" so i don't have much of a problem. i can rest my left foot perfectly and pick up on clutch easily. of course, coming from a freaking s550, the first 15 mins were very weird, felt like i was in a prison cell. but now after 3 weeks i have mastered how to get in and out and feel comfortable.
i have to say though, for anyone taller than maybe 6' 2", the car can be a problem, on both the foot area and head room. the car is small and very low.
the car does have pretty bad turning circle. i always think it turns so wide
