Wanted to Introduce myself

So after almost a year of lurking, I'm finally introducing myself! I used to be a die hard NSX owner/fan but was converted after one too many rides in my brother's modded Turbo and became addicted to the boost

I've already learned quite a bit of information just by lurking and hope to learn more, so please be kind to the Newb

-Paul

Welcome and have fun. NSX is fine but the TT has a lot more soul and personality!

I have a lot more experience with motorcycles than cars (in spite of my 4 Porsche 911s, MGTF, Lotus, etc over the years) and I have found, in general terms that the Japanese bikes are remarkable machines, but they tend to me lackign personality verses the American and European motorcycles.
Similar with cars. Toyota and Accura make great and capable cars, but lacking soul and personality verses Porsche and Ferrari.

At one time or another, we were all noobs. Thanks for coming out! I've had 3 NSXs. IMO, the steering in the NSX was excellent, but woefully lacking in power. Since Acura is not producing the NSX as a sports car but a GT, I don't see owning one again. Oh well...

put your pics on photobucket after you bring it up it will give you an img file. copy and paste it into the post and the picture will magically appear!!

I am sure there are many other ways to do it also.

Welcome again
