Anybody who doesn’t think the NSX can do daily driver duties simply doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Since I’m in between extra cars at the moment, I’ve been commuting to work and back – and everywhere else – for the last month in the NSX. And the car is every bit as reliable as any other Honda, albeit not quite as practical. Trunk space is limited to little more than my camera bag. There’s only one extra seat. And the car is low. Really, really low. Today I couldn’t eat lunch at my favorite taco place because I couldn’t get into the parking lot. Daily-driver-capable? Yeah. Practical? Not so much.

I had hoped to have seen a decent amount of NSXs at this year’s Eibach meet but, unfortunately, there was no such luck. Besides mine, Will Law’s Spa Pearl Yellow NA2 was there along with Downforce’s. And that was it. Will, of course, was representing at the Koyo booth and Peter and the guys from Downforce brought out their NSX to promote their headlight restoration kit, which, by the way, is great stuff. I’ve already restored my NSX’s, TSX’s, and an old Civic’s headlights to like-new condition. But that’s beside the point. NSX owners: If you’re reading this, make a point of making it out to Eibach next year. You won’t regret it.

As other show and meet promoters try their damnedest to blur the lines between nightclubs and car shows, they keep missing the mark – the cars. Eibach and its annual Honda meet doesn’t seem to have this problem though. The event is held during the day…outside…sans the club-like atmosphere, dim lights, and silly dance contests. And that’s the way we like it. After all, we are all there for the cars. This year’s meet was no disappointment – although the NSX count was on the low side (there were three, including mine) – the caliber and quantity of cars on display failed to burst anyone’s bubbles. Walking around Eibach’s facilities was like seeing the pages of Honda Tuning come to life. Here’s a small sample of past, present, and future HT-featured cars that were on display.
