Don't Drive Vicariously, Do the Real Thing!

Rent this car for street use and cruise down Pacific Coast Highway - Photo by Rick Hearn

So you may have seen this car buzzing around at the race track or ripping up and down the city streets.  Perhaps you even spent a lot of time reading this website(which definitely proves that you have LOTS of time on your hands).  And maybe you even ordered the NSX-Files Video Tapes, Volume I and II.   Stop driving vicariously, and just cough up the bucks and rent this car to complete your experience.

WHAT IT WILL COST YOU:

1. $600 a day, plus one dollar per mile, first 50 miles free.  I base this on the fact that a convertible Ferrari F355 costs about $1200-$1500 to rent, and my car is worth about half of one of those screaming Italian machines.
2. You have to pay attention to all the caveats.  There is a ton of them.

CAVEATS:

1. $10,000 deposit charged and authorized on your credit cards 48 hours PRIOR to you renting the car.  Car comes back in same condition that it left, you get your $10,000 back. 
2. Proof of insurance from your insurance agent that they will cover damages you may inflict upon my car.  Faxed 48 hours PRIOR to you renting the car.
3. Valid Driver's license.
4. You should already know how to drive a stick.  Don't experiment on my car, remember, I got your deposit.
5. Car is REAL LOW, and it will scrape on driveways and dips, so practice taking these at an angle like all owners of exotic cars are forced to do.
6. You may NOT take this car and drive it on a racetrack.  If you do, you forfeit your $10,000 deposit.  I know the abuse that happens on the race track....
7. You may NOT take this car and drive it on an autocross track.  If you do, you forfeit your $10,000 deposit.
8. You will pay for any and every single scratch inflicted upon my car, including the rims, either from your pocket, or from your insurance policy.
9. You may NOT take this car out of the country( i.e. Mexico)
10. The $600 a day covers you for 24 hours.  Every hour late after that is $150, as I don't want to stand around on a weekend waiting for you to show up cause you can't manage your time.
11. Plan your day so you don't hit traffic.  Rush hour can be ugly in Southern California.
12. Limited availability, based on my racing schedule
13. You pay your own speeding tickets
14. No smoking in the car(cigarettes, pot, tires, etc)
15. If you wreck my car, your picture and your LAME EXCUSE for wrecking my car will be on the FRONT PAGE of the NSX-Files Website.

BUYER BEWARE:

1. The suspension is really tight.  It will rattle your teeth if you are used to driving a Lexus.  But I drive it everyday, and I think it is comfortable.
2. There is a rollcage in the car.  Best if you are under 5 feet, 10 inches.
3. So it will be uncomfortable to your spouse/spouse equivalent, unless he/she is into fast cars.
4. It is loud.  I mean real loud.
5. You may end up liking it, and you will spend all your time and worldly possessions trying to get funds to buy a car that will go-fast.   You should treat fast cars like crack cocaine, cause if you get hooked, it will definitely change your lifestyle......and your pocket book

Comfort is in the eye of the beholder.....

WHY WOULD YOU RENT THIS CAR?

1. For the "experience".  Cars in general are pretty boring to drive, this car is exhilarating, it makes your adrenaline pump, and puts a big smile on your face.
2. It goes 0-60 in less than five seconds
3. It will THROW your body(and your passenger's body) back into the seats as your blast off towards the redline
4. You can brake for a stoplight in the last 15-20 feet before the intersection with the Brembo brakes. It will THROW your body(and your passenger's body) into the five point harness.
5. It likes going to the 8000 RPM redline.  In fact, I would encourage that you try it as often as you can without getting caught by the local law enforcement agencies.
6. It is loud.  Real loud.
7. People will give you thumbs up as you drive by, little kids will cheer and wave as if you are a super hero.
8. Good for breaking the ice with babettes, as they will definitely ask you about the car with flames and decals all over it.  Tell them you rented the car to have some fun, and are they ready to go out and have some fun with you!
9. Ladies - Your husband/boyfriend will love you for it!
10. And the two most important words:  "Business Expense".

Cruise the California Coastline

SUGGESTED CRUISES:

1. Pacific Coast Highway to San Juan Capistrano(go through Laguna Beach/Dana Point)
2. Ortega Highway (careful, usually a couple of people a year go off the side of the mountain and die)
3. Angeles Crest Highway (careful, same as Ortega, and rumored to be some wacko people up in the hills there)
4. Hollywood/Beverly Hill/Sunset Blvd - do the Tourist thing
5. Palos Verdes - See how the people on the 'Hill live
6. Pickup babettes (anywhere, they are all over in Southern California.  If you can't pickup babes with this car, you REALLY got dating problems.)

Pulp Racing, Inc, will start taking reservations for rentals around the 2nd week of November, so if you ever wanted to drive a supercharged NSX with flames, short gears, Brembo brakes, roll cage, racing seats, racing harness, big tires, lightweight rims, racing clutch/lightweight flywheel, headers, exhaust, etc. around for a day, here's your chance!
