Default Finally! My new ride!

Wow! Finally! What a long drive! As some of you may already know, I sold my Supra a few months ago and just couldn't stand driving around in a the Durango I bought to tow my race car to the track as a daily driver. So about 2 weeks ago I decided to get an NSX.

I found the perfect one in Houston, TX and after pulling some strings, I flew down there with my business partner last Friday and drove my new toy home 2500 miles back to Washington State.

Let me know tell you... WHAT LONG A$$ DRIVE! But definately worth it... The car drives like no other. Definately not as fast as the Supra was, but still very fun indeed.

So enough chit chat... here's some pics:


My race car next to the new toy:




My business partners 911.. soo sexy:



Getting fuel:


In the middle of BFE Wyoming or something:







And PS: To those post ****** in General Discussion that wouldn't help me with a simple Carfax last week but had plenty to say on their mind - GET A LIFE! And yes, I AM TOO CHEAP TO BUY A DAMN CARFAX ACCOUNT. Instead of being a H-T post *****, try helping the HA community next time. And yes... *NOW* I'm showing off... :roll eyes:

Thanks to all those that did assist me in my search though. Very much appreciated! And many many thanks to all those that helped over on NSXPrime. :thumbs up:

Congrats! And welcome to the community. Car looks great.

Curious, why so sentimental over the ITR?

For one moment, imagine that you are dating TeH HotTeST girl in town...now, imagine she was your first...

Now, you have an idea about why the Teg is so sentimental to Cres.

Sold the Supra to fund a dream..... (hint: Racing that Bean looking car)

I had my evil hand in the Supra's undoing not to mention the Teg's "execution" as well

The NSX was all Crescent's though.... Looking awesome man....Can't wait to come home and see and HEAR it in real time....

What model year is that NSX? Very nice, although I would rather have the Supra still.

Thanks! The integra was my first venture into modifying cars (honda's in general). Bought it brand new in 1999 with only 9 miles on it. It then became the C-speed Project car.

If i'm not mistaken, it was (one of) the first to ever run 12's (in the NW) turbo charged back in 2000 and then to run 12's again all-motor the following year.

Not to mention it was (one of) the very few to ever dawn the JDM front end back in 1999.

So sad.

Just like RagingAngel said.. to chase a dream.

Made a sacrifice so I could join the road racing community and hopefully next year help bring the new NWHC to fruition.
