thanks for the kind words!

Over Mother's day my friend came over and we decided to shoot some JDM vs Euro pics. I know some of you also own the legendary Supra so thought it would be fun to have 2 JDM powerhouses in one photo

I love how small and tidy the NSX is compared to pretty much anything else. Huracan is awesome no doubt, but for some reason the NSX is the sexiest of the group IMHO.

Well the MKIV is my dream car ever since H.S. and the one you see belongs to a friend of mine. I've always wanted to buy a mint 6MT Twin Turbo in cherry condition but timing has not bee good. The NSX is still my favorite and always will be since we got married using that car and it's the true unicorn. I think the only car that would be equal to the NSX would be a white LF-A

Car just came back from my buddies Vinyl shop so I'm pretty stoked to get my new steering wheel put on now!

For those in NorCal who is looking for a quality vinyl wrap job by a super dedicated guy, hit me up or go check out SFG

The "after' wrap job is absolutely amazing, will get some better photos when I actually find some time to drive the car. Even my wife who is normally very calm and not big into cars said "wow, this really makes the car look awesome!"

Hard to believe that isn't the stock steering wheel. Looks better than the stock full leather one though

WekFest San Jose was this past weekend so had some fun with a few of our cars, the Huracan is still awaiting wheels and Novitec suspension. Most of the performance upgrades and vinyl work by (SFGWraps) has been completed. The full dry carbon aero kit is also on the car from MAD (Morph) and just awaiting the rear diffuser to complete the outside.

LOL both kids prefer the s2000 as their favorite car because of the top-down driving although my son does like helping me shift with the paddles. I taught them both to help me shift so they know the 1-6 shift pattern pretty well. The only car he is getting is a Volvo / SUV until he can prove to dad he can drive safe and responsibility which no teen can really do! So it will be a long time before he gets to drive any sports car. Right now he gets a drift drike and a Mario Kart for cruising around

This was his previous ride before the Mario Kart:

thanks - I'm very blessed to be able to experience these machines and still shocked to see it in my garage when I wake up in the morning. Cars can be replaced / bought anytime though but time is priceless so we spend most of our time with kids these days. I drive the Huracan maybe once a month.

hey guys, quick question, so the Huracan is probably going to go bye bye this year as my wife wants something more comfortable.

We are looking at a few possible replacement options and the LF-A name got thrown out. I kinda want to try a 458 Speciale and she also like the new 2017 NSX. Seems out of this mix, the only car readily available is the Ferrari!

We've stuck out quite a few times with trying to buy a new NSX and don't even know the market for the LF-A. Any advice on where to look, pricing, availability?


thanks!
