I'm right across the Hudson river (New Jersey). Edgewater / Cliffside park Area.

If you want legit Greek food, hit up Astoria Queens. My fav is King souvlaki. By far the most authentic gyros compared to having one in Greece.

Central park, times square, Dumbo Brooklyn and World Trade Center are almost a must see.

Jersey City isn't too far. About 40 mins with traffic (Which there always is). That part of Jersey City is a little rough. At the park, you're good. By Newport Mall area, that part of Jersey City has transformed. I would suggest going to Hoboken while you're already in Jersey City. Go up and down Washington Ave. It's like being in NYC, without being in NYC. Walk by the Hudson, you will have an incredible view of the city. Also, Edgewater is a very beautiful area. Fort lee, is where the Asian and Koreans community is strong. Most authentic food of that kind is there. Banging Thai place that my wife and I eat is in Fort Lee.

Fort Lee is where the George Washington Bridge is. You can walk across it. If i'm around and not working, we can meet up!

Exactly. I'm a fan although I couldn't own one because I don't even remotely fit in them. But you're right on...that much cash for those is NOT worth it. Not even close.

I'm kind of getting over the whole NSX thing... when I realized for the same money you can get some pretty sick other cars.

Really, I think it's the nostalgia of that car that keeps people wanting it. It was the affordable supercar when they were younger and now that they have money, they want it.


And I can't blame them for that. It was the car that helped turn Ferrari and Porsche around, and the led the way for many others to come.

Can't fit? I thought we had similar dimensions? I always get the how do you fit in the S2000 comment...but I'm rather comfortable in one. I mean, if I was 5 more inches tall or 100 pounds more...I can feel the love handles not snuggling into the seat as much but...well, because murrica I guess.

yeah and the NSX is more comfy/roomy than a s2000. At least for me.

6'6" 235/240 J...

It's been years since I've driven either a NSX or a S2000 though.

I drove a Miata for a day last year. Everything from the nose up stuck out above the windshield.

I had the Lamborghini boxed in my driveway. Had a lot of fucking strangers walk onto my property to take selfies.

Man if I could buy any car right now...

RS5/M4, super clean TT Supra, 67' Mustang fastback, decked out new F150.

Heck I'd even put a 4G Prelude on that list. Miss my old car.

I wish I can go back in time and enjoy the wedding day again. Had an amazing time. It's been 6 months now!

My old buddy still has his entirely built 4G sitting in a garage. I'm not sure it's been moved in 3+ years now. He doesn't drive it because the clutch is so aggressive even good drivers stall. He's had the replacement clutch sitting in the trunk forever but is too lazy.

I'm still hoping he decides to sell it for CHEAP. It's gotta have $10k+ plus in the engine build alone. 450HP? I can't remember. It's up there though.

I'd buy it.

New wheels, new paint, fix the body lines, new clutch. I'd rock it.
