Great news! Congrats on the 'new' car (to you, at least).
And the funniest thing ... I was thinking yesterday (God knows why I was thinking this) ... but, I was thinking ... "What was jesal's old nickname on AZ? It definitely wasn't Crazy Sellout! But then again ... he isn't into Indian girls, so I guess I must be imagining things..."
Looks like you have a nice new play toy now. Let the modding begin!

not shocked at all.
And I bet he was too scared to tell me on IM cause he is afraid I would have lambasted him.

Sweet, great choice man! I might have missed it but I'm 90% sure you're selling the 335i now, right?

Anyway good luck with it.

Here speaketh an ignoramus of the HIGHEST quality! It would seem what you know about cars is probably not worth noting. You want to compare one of the greatest sports cars of all time [read LJK Setright's opinion on the matter] with a coupe based on a sedan?
To Crazy Acura, welcome to the club!

Great, another NSX owner.... just one more reason to question why I went into the not-so-lucrative art field. At the very least I can relate to the great color combo. Can't get more classic than Red w/Tan. Nice choice and good luck with it!

Kinda sorta. I will admit that I started looking at them when he did few months ago. I still dont know all too much about them, just that when i drove one i fell utterly in love. I really just cant explain the feeling.
I rarely drove the 335i and felt silly paying so much for it when it wasnt even a collectors car. So i figure I can get an NSX, have fun, save money, and have a car that still turns heads.
Anywho, here are some pictures my buddy took yesterday really quick.
I wasnt kidding. The body on this thing is close to mint! The wheels.. not so much.

Since wheels are coming in first, what are you going for? Something iForged? Also consider the 360forged wheels, especially the following

great photoshoot! You certainly don't waste time! Do you still want my OEM 17's? Personally, I would go with a 18/19 combo or 17/18 set.

Sweet ride, congrats!
Does the antennae still work? It's stupid, but I love the look of the older NSX when the antennae is up. Take a pic with the antennae and headlights up and it looks like a bad ass Remote Control car.

J, didn't you lease the 335? I thought you did.
What kind of dealership did you get the car from? Not an Acura shop, right? It always seems like the independent shops have really nice cars like a *gasp* Luxury Motors, for example. But I've always been a bit hesitant going to a place like that.

That only gets magnified more when you start looking at cars with an original MSRP in the $70-90K range...

Nope, i didnt lease the 335i. I was going to but the rates were poor at the time so i said forget it.
I bought it from a dealer like Luxury Motors but not as shady or greasy. I had them put the car on the lift and looked under if for any leaks or issues. Course im no expert but the dealer also gave me a 30 day warranty if anything major happens. Not that im counting on them for anything. Still at 60k miles i need to do the timing belt and water pump will cost me. I took that into account of course and used it to haggle.
They had the car for only a week. Saw it listed on autotrader when they had listed it and they didnt even have a picture of it up.

This was by far the longest time i spent at the dealer. I got there at 12pm and left at 5pm. Thats how anal i was looking the car over. I called Synth19 about 5 times during it.

Do the shorty antenna, we installed it last week. Do a search on nsxprime for "shark." I hated the stock antenna that I refused to listen to the radio until it was replaced. LOL
