I would never test drive it because I'm too practical to buy it. The only way I'll ever buy a 2 seater car is when I'm retired (only about 41 years or so to go.) Then the NSX will be an antique! I will probably do my best to squander my children's inheritance on frivoulous fast cars, etc..

Who said anything about buying it? I'd just test drive it to have driven one.

Not at all. # of valves has nothing to do with the camshaft driving it and if you think that more means better, take a look at the fastest production 4-banger made, the Esprit. It had 8 valves.

Why ask if you don't care?

To me, test driving a car like that would be like trying heroin for the fist time. Once you try it, it's all you think about anymore.

When one of my friends was ttrying to decide whether or not to get his Phd, we had a discussion about drinking. We were at a huge conference in DC, and usually inthe evenings, we'd sit around and play cards and drink.

Well, he didnt want to drink this time, cause h'ed given it up. We were shocked! This guy was a huge drinker. Apparently he went home over the holidays and got drunk and was doin lines of coke off the table with his old high school buddies, and it scared the sh*t out of him.

We couldnt decide what was more a mazing. The story he was telling, or that he was contemplating getting a PhD when he'd been doin lies less than a week ago.
