April 11, 2001, on Acura NSX Review:
I own a 92 nsx with a pipe and a chip. I live in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. As you would expect, the locals have lots of money and drive exotic and highly modified cars. Example, 750 hp Supra, 1000 hp Toyota Lexus 400 with race car suspension and capable of 200 mph+. I know as I have been passed by this guy while gunning along the Al Ain highway at 165 mph. Lambos, Ferraris etc. are a dime a dozen. There are only 3 nsx here and yet I can skid into the local Honda dealer for a service at the same door rate as my wife's Civic hot hatchback. And the nicest thing is that when it's 50 C/120 F during the summer, you will see me passing you at 140 mph on the Emirates road as I drive the 30 miles to work with the stereo purring and ice cubes falling out of the dash slots. Oh yea, the car has 97,890 MILES on the clock. Looking forward to the day I have to rebuild it with a nice 400 hp mod though I think it's going to be a long wait. Get a real car, get an NSX.
