It got really awkward when they phoned you later and said “HEY COUSIN! LET’S LOOK AT BIG AMERICAN TITTIES!”

and proceeded to keep telling me they were making me their cousin

The only good non-luxury dealers in my area are Subaru, Ford and Chevy. Those three dealers are also owned by the same person. All other dealers in my area suck. I happen to believe that if this person owned a Mazda (or Kia, or whatever brand you says has a horrible dealer experience) it would be top notch.

Not to sound to sappy, but every car is special as long as the owner thinks so. My last two cars were a 98 V6 Dodge Stratus and a 92 Saturn SL2 and I enjoyed the shit out of both cars.  No one will ever double take at either of those vehicles, no one else in the world would ever give a damn about them, but for the…

When it’s a car this young with this many miles, those miles are usually highway driven.  I’d take a chance.

What if you were just walking past it to drive one of a number of other cars you like driving better? Maybe one is the other NSX you own that is your preferred hoon machine that you put 120k miles on and would rather this one be kept a pristine example instead. Maybe you also own an S Class AMG that is what you drive…

I will often find myself creating meager errands to run just so that I can hop into my baby and take a spin.
(That’s not code, this time.)

Maybe he doesn’t have a licence - Charlie Watts apparently has a huge car collection but doesn’t drive any of them - he just sits in them and listens to the engines:

I mean I can be mad at George Zimmerman being found innocent, hundreds of cops not facing any murder charges, and still think that Jussie was guilty and deserved jail time. It’s not all mutually exclusive.

Jay Leno regularly drives his $20 million McLaren F1, that says to me if you can afford to w=own it, you can and should drive it!

+1.

I think that’s the major crime here. It’s not like this is some fragile European car that they only made 5 of that you’ll never be able to find correct tires for, never mind if something actually brakes. It’s a fucking Honda that they made thousands of.

yup, that’s the real issue here. It wasn’t saved for the reasons I mentioned, it was an investment. And that’s sad. 

For whatever reason, most people don't consider this. A 25 year old car that's never been driven will require quite of bit of work before she's road worthy again. 

*driving an NSX with 25 year old seals, hoses, bushings, etc. that has had no oil circulating through it.

If I could travel back in time, I would buy cars like this and store them for the future too. Imagine being able to step into a car like that today and enjoy it from new? Everything now is so so numb and over processed. That thing is pure mechanical joy.

Didn't you know that all RWD cars manufactured before the invention of traction control were destroyed in crashes? Every single one.

I thought of it more as active-aggressive.

I imagine we've all said something just as silly, but if he spent the time to write an essay about it and decided to post it online, I can't understand how he couldn't step back and just say, "That's me, I was an asshat." Or better yet, nothing at all.
