Patty, has your non-disclosure agreement expired so that you may talk about your NSX experience? If so, how was the acceleration, handling ,ride, sound, quality, appearance and general ergonomics of the car?
By now you've read all the media reviews out there. I thought the car was awesome but I'm not an experienced tracker. It took me three tries to get into the car with a helmet on. I had to really duck down to quit hitting it on the doorframe. The seat and interior felt like they were wrapped around me but weren't confining. The Alcantara suede in the center of the seat was like a glue strip. I never slid around the seat on the track at all. I had my hands on top of my legs and my feet planted on the carpet. It sounded like my current NSX and was very fast and slot-car like. I told the Acura race car driver, Peter Cunningham, that I get motion sickness so he took it easy on me in the turns, compared to the two other guys who won the raffle ticket rides. He told me he didn't go into the corners as fast and used the brakes less to keep the motion smoother for me. I loved the ride but it's really a rich person's toy. Very rich. I feel like my NSX is perfectly fine for fun group drives and a car that advanced would be so much over kill for what my needs and wants are. I got a ride in a
and it felt similar to that, although my eyeballs didn't go back inside my head in the NSX like they did in the Tesla.




Wow !! A great review considering the short ride time exposure. Thanks for your response! You’re one lucky girl.

He was Acura's top professional driver for several years. I suspect he's getting a little old for that game now but I'm sure he could have put your eyeballs out on the track if you had not limited him.

A few more photos of my recent adventures near Farmington, NM and my return trip home. Farmington is a beautiful area just forty miles south of Durango, CO.

One is an abstract the other is not..

If one were good with Photoshop I could picture an elk looking down into the abstract valley.

Haven't had good weather for fall foliage picture taking, and the foliage wasn't spectacular, but here's a few recent photos.

My favorite with fall color. Took this today. Gardens recently opened to the public.
Haskell Gardens






My favorite little guy with some fall colors behind him.
