Washed my cars today (many pics) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

bodypainter · 12-03-2005, 01:46 PM

And now I'm posting them because I can (and because I'm killing time until time to get ready for the company x-mas party tonight

).

Pulled both cars up in the yard today and gave 'em a little bath.

Lookin' good!

Damn those are some nice cars. I'll take the NSX please

How long do those ES100's last on it? I'd think the rears would practically melt off the rims they'd wear so fast. On my turbo MR2 I go through a set in 20,000 miles if I'm lucky, and I think the NSX kills tires faster than mine does.

Very nice and clean

...I'm especially partial to the NSX.

Based on what other NSX owners have reported, I'll be replacing the rear tires at 10,000 miles, maybe a bit more. The fronts might go 20,000 miles. I'm budgeting to replace the rears once a year and the fronts every two years.

I'm envoius of you.

Salomon · 12-05-2005, 04:12 PM

Yep, those are 2 hot cars you have there.
I notice you have washed them in the shade as well -- proper car wash etiquette, heheh. No water spots that way.

I've heard the NSX described thusly: "It's like a Ferrari, but engineered by people who went to college."

Don't be. We're both working people just like everyone else (okay maybe a little older) who choose to drive nice used cars instead of mid-priced new cars. No big trick there!

merkerguitars · 12-05-2005, 10:34 PM

Damn, you can tell your a more proud and deserving owner since you wash them yourselves

Dragonknight · 12-06-2005, 02:01 AM

VERY NICE cars you gots there very nice. I miss my car so damn bad. I hate going to different countries where I can't take my car (well my wife first then the car). What have you gotten the NSX up to?

Gnzo · 12-14-2005, 11:05 PM

What can I say? We are TiVo fanatics, the annoying kind that will talk your ear off about it given half a chance.

We also go to a lot of meets with other TiVo Community people so the clings are kind like our ID when we pull up.

if you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?

It's a '95 - #718 of 780. I paid $30K with 56,000 miles on it. I thought that was a pretty good deal even though it was due for a timing belt/water pump service and the tires were almost ready for replacement. It's not a garage queen.
