Nsxxx!

We left for Vancouver at just after 6:30 PM on Friday night. Greg, Mark and I drove his Pathfinder through the night until we got to Hope, BC at about 4 am or so. We were bagged and crashed there till 9 am.

We left for Vancouver in the morning and got to the dealership just after 11 or so.

It's a beautiful White 1998 Acura NSX-T. The 2002 front update has been done and it's simply amazing to see in person.

Not very often people go out and buy something truly, truly special. This is without a doubt one of the best cars EVER built and it's truly a special car. For the first time since I sold mine, I dearly miss it. Mark's purchase has me scouring NSX Prime and Ferrarichat for either another NSX or a F355. We shall see.

Big thanks to Greg for his great company and keeping me awake while we driving. Big thanks to RedBull for that as well. Big thanks to Jayson for showing us around Kelowna last night and letting us crash at his pad. Big help, buddy!

Mark, congrats on the purchase. I know you want to GQ it, but don't. Drive the **** out of her! (And it's almost as nice as mine was )

Here's the pics! Only in front of the house did we stop for a photo-op. Everything else is taken on the run. All the rolling shots are taken at over 110 km/h instead of the usual 30 km/h or so. Some shots are through glass, sticking out of sunroofs, etc... It was fun!









Jayson and Mark.



Hollywood!









Hahaha!

Some other stuff while we were at the dealership.

I hate taking pictures of cars in dealerships... it's pretty lame. So you guys get snippets of what was there.

I still don't like these cars...



And pretty much everone knows my obsession with Ferrari. A nice 360 for $90K.

My friend Mark bought it. It's in Edmonton now, OOP'd and registered.

I think my next "big" car purchase is going to be an F355. I had an NSX for four years and I've never bought another of the same car.

NSX's have always held a part of my heart!
They are a GREAT car !
If you are around NSXPrime...my name is stacy'snsx,I made my own bodykit and few other goodies for that car!

IF I had to say one thing about your friends car.....change out the Wings west side-skirts and rear spats,IMO....
They just do NOT do that car justice.........after-all the NSX still looks as good as some of the other $100,000 cars out there,which is why it deserves a better bodykit!

Mark, congrats on the purchase. Great pictures!
I would love to see this car in person. You are the new NSX in town!

Is Mark on NSXPrime?

I heard about this site tonight at the Indy after party at joeys this evening... two people recognized the car off 6speedonline haha. Thanks for all the compliments everyone. I am really loving the car this far.
