Congrats Bob
An NC1 NSX while cool and all I don't think is near as cool as your unicorn Wagon. I think if you do ever decide to pick up an NC1 you should do so only while keeping your Wagon and NA2 NSX. I have faith that you will figure out how to make that work on the books. If the NC1 prices keep dropping as they are that shouldn't be hard in a few years anyways. I bet in 3-4 years you see your first sub 100k NC1 prices.

Never, ever see them anymore on the road, and when I do I always break my neck to see if it's a V or not. I've never seen a blue V, let alone one like yours with the yellow calipers. Such a unicorn. I can't remember Bob, do you know how many were made in your exact configuration? MOPAR is great at letting customers know that info, not sure if GM is the same.

J will just gripe about it and shit on it, then sell it to someone for a loss (for friendship), who will blow up the engine and burnout the clutch

It's not my fault the silly admins made a change that affected the defaults that were created years before they decided on a redesign /

It's why he wants Bob to meet up with him, show him the back of the vagon, teach him to work the stick, burn some rubber, etc

10 years!
I celebrated ten years with my manual wagon on Monday. It’s currently away for its tenth birthday present: replacement of the Xpel Ultimate, 2-stage paint correction, and 5-year ceramic coating.
Here’s a pic from last week, before it went away for the above. Weather willing, I should have it back next week.
Currently 49k miles and change, no big problems. I love it!
Or note is that there have been three low-miles OBM CTS-V wagons on BAT, 2 manual and one automatic, in the last six weeks, all selling for more than $100k. I’m obviously not getting that with the number of miles I have. At this point, though, I am just going to hang on and keep my hand away from my wallet because the value of my wagon will not be going down. NGL, though, the jonesing for a NC1 NSX is still really strong.
PS: I strongly recommend Xpel Ultimate self-healing. It did not yellow at all over the last ten years, and the self-healing actually works.

Oh yeah. I looked back through the thread and around 2016 there were a lot of “buy another S2000” posts. I did, almost a year ago, and I posted in the S2000 thread at the time. That’s why I don’t have a NC1 NSX now! I used the money I was saving for a deposit, to buy the S2000. As much as new car fever afflicts me, another one can’t happen soon LOL

Glad to see you are keeping the OBM Unicorn. Saw your post the other day contemplating it on Instagram. It is such an awesome piece of machinery. Many days I wish mine was an MT.

If I had coughed up the extra 5 grand for a manual back when I got mine, I would likely still have it.
Oh well.
Bob, if you try and sell it again I'm gonna have you talk me through brain surgery on you. Yes, while you're awake and alert, you talk me through
what I'm looking at and looking for to get you to stop talking gibberish like that. Worst case, I brick you?
Just saying, don't try and sell it again.

It was, and always will be, a terrible idea to sell an appreciating asset (even with miles) for a depreciating one. 😁
