He claims to make 60 grand a year....So I'm going to with he's in tons of debt like most of the fine folks in America.

I have seen NSXs as low as $20k. Maybe he bought that and his Viper used and lives in a smaller house. Maybe he just saves really well.
Maybe he is tons of debt. Who knows. It's just kind of unfair to jump to that conclusion.

I use a lot of common sense and logic to figure things/people out. After seeing his posts, videos, reasoning skills and overall attitude... I'm going to say he's in a **** ton of debt and lives either with his parents or in an apartment.

I got all of that from the info he gave out in just the SRandK thread. SO i will have to disagree with you there.
Also it all depends how people spend their money, i know how my friends dad brings in 250k a year, and his mom was a nurse, and they live in a regular house and drive a toyota minivan, but the orders out everyday for food and goes out A LOT as well as going on vacations a few times a year.
Cars are not always the best factor to figure our how much people make, not everyone really cares or sees them more then a means to get from point A to point B which is what they are but to many, like most of us, we can use them for enjoyment

Not even close. By 1993 the 911 Turbo was almost a full second quicker in the 1/4 compared to the NSX. I won't even get into the '96 Turbo model.
And if I had a $100,000 back in those days I sure in the heck wouldn't of spent it on an NSX. I can think of a dozen other cars of that era I would rather own...Corvette ZR1 is one of the first that comes to mind.

That NSX in the video is an NSX-R, which is basically the very limited production version designed specifically for road courses. It weighs 2,700 pounds and everything about the suspension and design of that model was to make it perform well on the road course. I hope it can handle fast turns.

The NSX is a great car, I never denied that.
I think you are confusing me with someone else...
Some of my favorite cars are japanese... Im quite the fanboy for the [hawk eye style] Sti and EVO 8 and 9.
Everyone here knows how much you hate Japanese everything, but come on.

Styling and very high-end engineering/technology.
The nsx was a mid engine car with an all aluminum chassis and styling that just grabs your attention. However I think the 92 Viper looks better, meaner, more aggressive just like an american car that's meant to perform should and id buy one over an NSX any day. But hey, to each his own, more power to killemall for owning a viper and an nsx lol

Whoa........
I havent lived with my parents since I was 16...Ouch!!!!!!!!!
I dont have one daughter. I have 3 daughters and a son...My oldest is 16 and my youngest is 7..
Yes I only make 60K..But I get a check every month from a disability I got as an Infantry soldier on top of that..Plus I used money I got when I was medically discharged to help my wife buy a buisness 6 years ago. She already had a smaller buisness since 1997 and when she sold it we put that money together with my medical discharge money plus money we had saved and bought a bigger buisness..
The money from the buisness is considerably more than the money I make from my job..More than double and at times more than triple...
With all that said...between the monthly payments on my 600K house and my viper,nsx,ram 1500,nissan quest,jeep liberty plus takeing care of my 4 kids and all the other things that happen in life I am defiently living the AMERICAN way and in debt ect.
Just clarifying a lil as I dont want you to get the impression that I spend every dollart I earn paying for my nsx and viper (though I probally would with the viper atleaste..LOL)
