Respect Tyson. Love how he actually drives and maintains all of his cars instead of hoarding them just to resell like other “collectors”

His collection is small enough that he can do it. Big collections are always going to end up garage queens.

The NSX is a pure classic that still looks modern today. I've seen a few in person over my life time and every time I see one im still impressed with how good this car looks from every angle.

[@06VistaBlueGT1]

Dude is a purist for the brand, that's for sure. I mean, he has a Motor Trend Car of the Year award!! The golden caliper! Where did that come from? I'd love to hear how he got that. You just don't find that anywhere, lol! Great video & love the NSX!

Tyson is truly a rarity in the car enthusiast community. He has the essential qualities and values of a proper car enthusiast. Restoring and preserving a car in stock form with regular well documented maintenance is what makes the nostalgia of his Acura car collection so emotional. These should be the basic attribute for any aspiring car enthusiast. Its a simple discipline that Tyson has employed successfully over a two decade journey with his collection.

I wish I new more about cars when I was younger. My 89 Prelude S with the duel carbs died at 160,000. Must have been head gasket initially judging from white smoke. And then my Acura 3.5 RL died at 160,000 also, (transmission). 😪 My 84 Accord was great, but sold it for the Prelude...😪 I miss them all, like buried pets. I had a 79 Honda also, it was blue...😅...

[@calyee3558]

Respect for the Acura/Honda love! They're really awesome cars! Really wish I was old enough and had enough funds to snag a NSX when it was at it's largest dip. It has run away from me now. But awesome to see Tyson's journey.

[@victorblock3421]

I recently reactivated a dormant twitter account I have had since 2011. I searched Tyson's name to see if he's on twitter and this video popped up on Hagerty's page. So pleasantly surprised to see this. There is no better Ambassador for the Acura brand. Never met Tyson in person but communicated with him by phone when helping a friend of his secure a collector Acura. Just a great pleasant guy. Been following since I found him on youtube when I had a 2001 CL Type S about 6-7 years ago. He deserves much success.

[@lotusesprit38]

I changed a Supra A80 for a Nsx, you might think i'm an idiot...but i dont regret at all for it. The driving experience and handling is way better than my 93 MIV twin turbo one. The Supra engine is brutal but is heavier than nsx, next to Honda Nsx ,stock vs stock theres not much differences except in straight line . In circuit Nsx is superior. One day people will give the Credit of which this masterpiece deserve Greetings from Europe

[@jayf429]

It’s nice to see an enthusiast who enjoys driving his cars esp the NSX, it’s a shame that this simple formula wasn’t used for the current NSX which ends production next year. Naturally aspirated rwd cars are my favorite.

[@boostedmaniac]

NSX is getting axed again? Doesn’t seem that old. I was always kind of wondering that myself. I like the original much more than the newer one. But come 15 years from now the 2nd gen will go up in value because of the scarcity of it. It’s not a bad car, but I think it’s a little overpriced for what Honda/Acura fans are looking for. We were expecting a high revving fun to drive car like the original, not so much an expensive super high tech hybrid. In its price range, it has a lot of tough competition.

[@thepostman69]

Damn, wish this came out a year ago. I have no connection to Acura, but I was delivering some MDXs to a dealer in DC and found some original dealer promotion posters from the 90s for the NSX. Wish I snagged them.

[@bradpittman5075]

Gangster man. I appreciate the passion. That’s what it’s all about. It’s not about domestic vs import or drag racing vs circuit racing etc anymore. Especially when epa is actively trying to lawfare tuning shops. It’s about the drive. The experience that the car gives us and those who appreciate them for more than just transportation. We have to come together. Or else we will all end up in the exact same car. One choice and probably gov issued. I started out with a second Gen fc rx7 na gxl model. 344k miles. Rust issues. I now am into this fox mustang I have. Had a turbo integra that made a touch over 500 wheel. We have to come together and be proud of what we love and educated on the issues. Especially fuels and battery construction. Anyways. Thanks and never give up. Imagine being a kid not sitting in the back seat naming all of the different car makes and models that passed you down the road. Imagine it being one super quiet bland terrible car. Even if it has a lot of torque.

We set up a date and time and he was going to show us his awesome collection. My son was stoked to see an NSX up close The very car in this video. Come that Sunday? No response from Tyson. He blew us off. That pissed me off, but watching my son get upset is what hurt the most. A day later I got the typical "sorry, something came up" BS excuse, but cmon. He couldnt respond to my messages that day?? I guess if we're nobodies with just an EM1 Si and and RSX, we're not good enough company. Whatever. I forgave and moved on.

It's a Honda from the McLaren F1 days, Gordon Murray owns one, Senna helped tune it; what else do you need to know?

[@Fastvoice]

It was one of the main inspirations for Murrays McLaren F1 plans. He owned one a good while before the F1 was created. His view: "Of course as you know, the engine has only six cylinders; however, the NSX’s very rigid chassis is excellent and would easily be capable of handling more power. Although it’s true I had thought it would have been better to put a larger engine, the moment I drove the „little“ NSX, all the benchmark cars - Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini - I had been using as references in the development of my car vanished from my mind. Of course the car we would create, the McLaren F1, needed to be faster than the NSX, but the NSX's ride quality and handling would become our new design target.”

So the original NSX with pop up headlights is a timeless beauty of perfection and engineering. The revised version of that car without pop up headlights looks stupid. Some things are better left alone. I’m 50yrs old and when the NSX came out it was so impactful on the public for all the obvious reasons. The styling til this day still makes me look. I had a 1989 civic si hatchback at the age of 18, it was brand new, which also had great styling and a great smooth shifting manual gearbox. It was for me at the time a dream car. Honda was so uncanny at getting the best looking style of cars. I’m disappointed in the styling over the last 15 years or so of most of their cars. The current civic hatchback is just plain ugly.
