mines nissan gt-r and spoon sports nsx-r gt

are you an automobile fanatic? yes!? well, you're about to see a photo of two cars that are in utter limited existence. one of them has yet to be released to the US market. nissan has had to delay it's debut due to some of its transmission problems. as of today, i hear that it will be released next year (circa summer time). but a few weeks ago, i was able to examine not only a car few people have yet to see, but a car that has been massaged and tuned by one of the premier japanese shops.

the second, and not the least bit less enticing, is a special and limited version of honda's nsx-r. it is known in the small circle of 'in the know car enthusiasts' as the nsx-r gt. rumor has it that only 5 of these cars have been built - each of them already owned and heavily modified. some people say that this car, though 'officially' press released from honda, does not exist. well, i had the chance to drive it and examine it. it is every bit the car i would have imagined from a visual aspect. the bumpers are identical to the ones in honda's press release photo. unfortunately, because the car is right hand drive, i did get to show masa how bad i am at shifting with my left hand. i would love to get to drive the car a on a real circuit and see its real purpose in life.
