Cool cars and expensive restaurants

Last night I went out to a fantastic dinner with my parents, and the restaurant we went to is just about the most expensive in the area. Because of that, it attracts lots of wealthy customers and therefore expensive cars (typically Bentleys, Maseratis, and Porsches, but sometimes Ferraris and Rollers).

When we walked up to the restaurant last night, there was a 997 GT3 in the valet area. I was excited about that. When we were leaving, there were also two Panameras next to each other, two Jags next to each other (XJ and XK), and two 7-series next each other (E38 and current gen). Nothing too special, until an RS7 pulled up about 10 seconds later.

Walking back to our car in the back of the lot, I saw it, 50 feet from our car: a red NSX. I’d never seen one in the wild before.

I quite literally stopped in my tracks. “NSX. That’s an NSX.” My mom had no idea what that was, but my dad understood, so he drove past it on the way out so I could get pics.

Just my fun car related experience.

Honestly prefer not to tell for privacy reasons or else I would've mentioned it.

I’ll consider it. Where are they, generally? Also, would you mind the fact that I'm a fairly young Oppo who doesn't have an extremely interesting car?

Full disclosure, Im in my early 20s. Young is relative. Many Oppos are in or just out of high school. While a good number of us have graduated and began or are invested in careers, I wouldnt call us the majority even slightly.

What your car happens to be is not nearly as important as how much you appreciate all cars*.

*opinions are certainly allowed/encouraged

Forgot to add, meets are all over the state, but tend to be way north or pretty far south. This Sunday Ill be going to Lehigh Valley C&C most likely, in the HEMIWagon. I encourage you to make the trip if you can, and shoot me an email, we can meet up and check it out together, I typically arrive very early.

Well, it looks like any other parking lot, and you can't really see much of it.

My dad had to sell his a few years back. At least he was cool enough to let me drive it to my senior prom. I felt so good pulling up to my dates house in it =D

I looked a bit nervous haha. Best jalopdad ever

That's awesome! My dad was trying to tell me that he basically has an NSX because his TL is an Acura with a 3.5l V6.
