I never owned an NSX. I recall the year the NSX came out and a racer I knew from vintage racing ($ heart surgeon $) bought one the first year it came out. I thought, wow, a Ferrari that someday maybe I could afford. But as time passed and the S2000 came out I knew it was the car for me.

I love my cars. All five of the Honda/Acuras. If I had to choose only one to keep at this second it would be my 2015 Crosstour.

What the hell are you drinking? You want a dependable reliable people mover - well maybe. But come on . . . if I were thinking like that it would be my Nissan Maxima.

I think I've said this before but if I had to choose I'd take my MGA over the S2000 but the MG's been my sidekick since 1972 . . but the S2000 satisfied everything I wanted in a sports car. I would have liked more styling but I knew what they did was timeless; that aside damn, I loved it. The handling, the 9k rpm, the ... whatever.

WTH am I thinking and drinking? I could ask you the same. My 2015 V6 Crosstour is much faster than my 2007 S2000 and my 2017 Pilot. It passes quickly on two-lane roads in the desert. It has a hatchback that allows easy access for my longstride 11R ElliptiGO, when I fold the back seats down, and firewood, if I just pile it up behind the vertical second row of seats. Oh, of course, my S2000 is a road carving driver, although it's fairly gutless at over 5,000 feet elevation where I drive it. The NSXs are fun, when I drive them but with only two seats each they are toys and not for normal use.

I can't top that Patricia, except to say my daily driver F150 is like pair of well-worn jeans and I love too.

BOT. It is the middle of December, 7AM, and it is 57° in MI. That's unreal.

Woke up to rain here, not good for the resorts especially on a weekend. Expecting heavy winds today and temps to get up in the high 50's.

The Tesla is great in the snow, with automatic power to one to four wheels as optimally required. For cross country driving it calculates where to do the recharging and how long is required at each supercharging station. It also keeps track of the weather and helps the driver choose the best route to take.

Around 6:30 am, it was 66 here in Central Ohio. However, the temperatures will be dropping to a low of 27 tonight.
