BeeP - yer &^#$@# SPoiled..
NSX for part-time toy, eh? (Which would be my preference too.. to Owning the Car, its Insurance and The Tickets ;-)
But I note that *my* Acura Plutocrat was made by the same personnel / same assy line as the NSX (from ~'90-'96 for JDM/world versions; '91-'94 for US).
Those who worry about such things (well, some of them) have deemed that the Made-in-Japan cars of this $-niche in the early to mid-90s: just may be the most carefully assembled mass-production cars ever, from any country. Comforting thought for my '94 - and borne out by the regularly 200-250k miles sans repairs beyond maintenance consumables. There are several of my model running around with >300K miles (but it turns out ya gotta use Genuine Honda transmission fluid to do that - a petro chemist has determined that it Is a different formulation from the usual ATF, different VI and er lubricity - something I'd naturally be skeptical about til the lab tests.)
The more I inspect the engine compartment and interior.. I see motorcycle grade attention to minute detail, premium quality materials from the real-wood veneers down to the intricately customized "holders" for practically every wire and hose; the excellent weather-proofed wire-harness connectors and carefully wrapped bundles, etc. And.. I'm Picky. (The NSX has gotta be even more jewelery! At Those Prices)
I just haven't found a single item which looks like an afterthought.. from the aluminum honeycomb sheets which form the floorpan - to the ergonomics of the instrument layout -- and a first-rate stereo system (which just happens to produce a realistic 'staging' for full orchestra - same difficulties as for home systems, and they did it Right).
Anyway.. if that er Western-garaged NSX is in danger of the hydraulic seals dryin out from disuse, I'd be glad to donate a couple hours to exercising things, periodically. Just my contribution to good housekeeping.

Yer Jaded, BeeP!
