We have made 100 miles, drives well very few rattles. No complaints so far.
this. The sun and heat bakes leather and plastics like no other.

My M3 was like that after 80k miles in the Florida sun. Phoenix has to be brutal as well to interiors.
Very nice car! Not a fan of the frunk lid or wheels, but looks great otherwise.
Chris would have preferred stock in both regards but this is how the car came.
The wheels look much better in person. When I saw the pictures before we flew out, I wasn't a fan, but seeing them in person changed my mind.
AZ is a great place to buy cars. I bought my FJ and MR2 recently both from Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Yeah I guess if cars are garaged or not.
Be safe out there
Stopped for food.
Awesome car and trip! Be safe
The Dallas area is cold with 40mph wind gusts, windchill in the 20's.
Feels quite nippy and moves the vehicle about but not bad.
Tonight's low is 24f.
There was drizzle this morning but it stopped and roads are dry.
Good luck on the car and road trip.
In reply to John Welsh :
Do you really thing you can average 69 mph. ?
That means you will have to drive 85 when on the road.
Anyway, nice car. I would love to make that drive.
4 hours 15 minutes total from pick up. 282 miles. 26.5 MPG. 66 MPH Average including our lunch stop and a stop to refuel.
Great looking car, love the color and like the wheels.
Running from the sun...
I just love gas stations and the north American west. The vista; the implied nostalgia. The Dodge hauling hay against the NSX, wow! My humble PS take:
The gauges even all work!
How did he come across it?
I think the wheels look great! They’re good looking ars either way, but the wheels really add something.
pimpm3 said:The gauges even all work!
That's impressive, under 3k rpms at 70 mph! My S2000 is turning almost 4k rpms at that speed.

Nothing like Tier 1 Japanese manufacturing :)

Cargurus of all places. The seller bought in in 2013. Nice older gentlemen who is a snowbird and spends his time between Scottsdale and Winnipeg.
The car was serviced at science of speed (NSX specialist) and the local Acura dealership. Seller put 20k miles or so on it in the past 6 years.
Stopped for dinner at Track One in El Paso Texas. Apparently they have excellent wings. I will find out shortly.
In reply to iceracer :
I averaged 70 from Grand Rapids Mi to Gulf Shores Al, last spring break with a wife and three kids. Averaging 69 in an NSX is possible.
Mexican and then wings on a long road trip.......bold move 
Gorgeous car, I like the wheels a lot.
Glad I'm in not in that car the next day. Add a lone star into the mix and there may be some interesting air freshers needed.
We made it 660 miles yesterday and stopped in Pecos Texas. Hotels are expensive due to the fracking, and the 1st one was fully booked. That was a kick in the balls at 1230 after a long day on the road.
We got on the road this morning at 0730 after partaking of the free hotel breakfast.
Texas is cold as hell. It was like 20 something this morning. The car has ice on the hood!
I20 is a much better road than the portion of i10 we were on yesterday. Smoother and not as beat up. I felt like we were in a 3rd world country yesterday based on the road surface condition.
We have been driving for 45 minutes and the lack of cars I'd comical. I swear every single vehicle is a full size pickup or a semi truck.
Sounds like your taking the northern route. If not too late, that southern route might be better for possibility of higher temps.
