It's just crazy, just where that car is at compared to other cars now.

But yeah, back in the day, the older NSXs with the flip-up lights, you know, even when you

get to like the newer version, like the O5s with the, you know, projector headlights and

all like, I mean, that is just a car I still dream to have, I haven't owned one yet.

I'm very close, I'm actually in negotiations with one now.

During spring, we're talking, and it's good talk that we're having, it's a really, really

rare one, so rare, and I actually had the opportunity to purchase one too before I decided to go

with the shop.

It was, and I'm still in touch with this car too, I can talk about this one, it was

an O5 NSX with 47,000 miles on it, it was painted Laguna blue, I mean it came Laguna blue, original

colors, that's one of 900, but this one also had a Comtec exhaust header package on it.

It wasn't a supercharged one, but it was still a really rare one that made it like

one of 300, a super rare.

Wow.

It was in Florida and it was completely sun-faded, the sun was selling it.
