We use AMP for soap and degreaser where I work, stuff's great
Just took the '95 out for a wash today actually
Coming up on the 12th anniversary of owning the NSX. It's still my daily, although I'm forced to admit it's not as reliable as it used to be.

What do you mean it's not as reliable? Mechanical issues?
He must be [a good bit] over 200K, I think it was ~175K from an older thread.
Yes. Last year it was new driveshafts (twice because the first replacement set was somehow defective) and yet another supercharger pulley replacement. On top of that I've had an intermittent CEL for no apparent reason (code = generic misfire but car's running great) for months and now I've got a weird stumble when starting if it's below 50 degrees. Very annoying. It's approaching 190,000 miles and is 23 years old, I guess I shouldn't whine but I'm accustomed to better.
Those are definitely some serious issues and costly at that. 190,000 is Extensive mileage. Do you plan on selling or keeping it?
Ooops, I over-estimated your mileage (above)! I couldn't remember when you said it had 175K, so I just added an arbitrary amount of extra mileage,
Yeah, the same thing happened with my Supra, mechanical parts were starting to wear out a bit, bushings, little electrical annoyances, "touch parts" looking dull ... and that was even with many things having been replaced with aftermarket (turbo, driveshaft, lots of suspension, brakes, etc.) I mean, it still ran pretty great, but you start getting a worry in the back of your head about when you'll need a full rebuild, or some issue you can't track down.
That being said, the same can happen with a much newer, out-of-warranty car too, and it wouldn't have the exclusivity and historical value of an NSX.
A shameless repost out of the Picture of Your Car (2016) thread. I didn't pay attention and posted there last week, sunday.
"Washed my car today as per usual in the weekend, the sun was out and the weather was perfect to go and take some pictures:"
Shot with 6S, filters from Photos
Thanks Arggg14, yeah, weird that VW decided not to.. However, it is discontinued in the Netherlands since 2013 as well. (Dutch people rather bought the more practical and less expensive Golf which meant that the Scirocco didn't sell enough.)
It is a fun car, handling is great, the DSG transmission is awesome and it has enough power to get places fast
DSG software has been tuned, considering an engine tune as well in the summer. It is indeed less practical than other cars but it can actually seat 4 persons rather comfortably and the boot has a high entry but is spacious enough.
Thanks, didnt see that!
Thanks! I did use the "Chrome"-filter to make the colours pop just a bit more.

My 2004 Pontiac GTP CompG. Sold it this past fall after owning it for 10 plus years. Sold on Craigslist from CT to MN believe it or not.
Finally got my ATS back last weekend but the weather was horrible and it was covered in dirt and salt from the roads. Just got it detailed today and took some new pictures. I cannot believe how well portrait mode works on my iPhone 7+.
Wasn't able to get any good pictures of the whole car because it was blocked in by other cars in the drive, but I'm hoping I'll have a chance to take it to the park at some point and grab some more portraits.
