Found this while browsing through NSXPrime - the biggest NSX community in the US. Written by a chappie named Joe Martz. Stunning. Simply stunning. " My personal code of conduct as an exotic owner [1]My cars will always be clean and well-presentable. I will ensure that my cars are in the highest state of mechanical condition and maintenance. Exotics are indeed rare, and to see one is a special experience. I have an obligation to present these cars to others at a high standard. [2]I will always be polite, courteous, and friendly. I will not talk down to or ignore anyone, and I will cheerfully answer all questions. Exotic owners wrongly suffer from a "snob" label. By actively and always countering this, I will strive to change this perception among all whom I met. [3]Where feasible, I will encourage inspection and observation of my cars. If someone is clean and courteous, I will encourage them to sit in my cars. I will actively encourage photographs. In-particular, I will encourage this among younger children. On occasion, I will offer rides to admirers under the appropriate circumstances. [4]With one exception (see 5, below), I will obey all traffic laws or local traffic customs. Especially, I will pass other cars only in marked, safe passing zones, and I will always respect traffic speeds and noise ordinances within city limits. I will always drive in a defensive manner to protect myself and my vehicle. I will not initiate nor will I respond to challenges to race my cars on open public roads. When asked to race, I will simply refuse. [5]Operating my cars as Enzo, Soichiro and Ferruccio intended will occur only on open, rural routes free of heavy traffic or on appropriately designated race courses. On public highways, I will use my highest powers of observation and diligence to ensure that I place myself, my vehicles, and the public in no additional danger. I will be aware of the environment and road conditions, and I will not drive at excessive speeds on unknown or suspect roads. When approaching blind corners or hills, I will assume that an obstacle exists and will take appropriate defensive measures. [6]I will share my passion and excitement for exotic cars with others through community service and charitable events. I will actively seek out community organizations such as local police departments and schools and offer my cars for use in events such as DARE programs, homecoming parades, pep rallies, etc. Many communities have "Make a Wish" foundations for sick children. If given the opportunity, I will offer a day with myself and my cars to such organizations in an effort to brighten an otherwise trying life for someone less fortunate than I. [7]I will be honest and open with other enthusiasts, and I will accurately represent my cars to prospective owners and buyers. I will keep complete records, and I will always follow-up with purchasers of my cars to ensure that they continue to gain maximum satisfaction and appreciation for cars that I have owned and serviced. [8]I will always have a smile on my face when inspecting, driving, or showing my cars to others. I will never forget how fortunate I've been to own such automobiles and I will constantly remind myself that the future is uncertain, and that today may be as good as it gets." Comments welcome!

If I'm not mistaken, brudder Lung posted this (or something very similar) a few years back. True then and still true today.
yes, old post from NSX prime. US does have a different breed/mindset when it comes to such things. ;0 We have a similar version here..aka Fchat Bruther-Hudt...
yes... actually posted it in 2007 and back in 2004 or sometime back then hahahaha. U have a good memory Derek!
DK, I thought the Club arranged viewings? Especially since this is the first race of the season. Better get on El Presidente's case. Let make the subscription fees work for us.
well .. somehow I was appointed deputy motorsports director .. which has since become motorsports director .. and I feel like I am the only person trying to arrange something .. maybe I shud play the ang moh card .. "dont know where lah!". btw let me know when you're going on your next track day .. I need to stretch my legs.
There are two track days coming up... late April and late May. Let you know details when date is closer
BUT! Motorsports Director is not the same as Social Director mah! Why u organizing F1 party? I fear for our subscriptions!!!
Agreed .. I can't believe that nothing has been arranged for the first GP of the season .. which is why I thought I'd look around myself for a venue and try and make something happen .. but I think I've probably run out of time. My high hopes are fading fast.
and on a different matter .. I've seen over the last 2 days a couple of 599's with plenty of after market work on them. One was black with black rims and body kit; whilst the other was white, black rims (yellow edges) with matt black roof, bonet and accents, and body kit. I hadn't seen either before but saw both within the space of 2 days in the side street where I live near Orchard, so I assume they're connected to each other. Anyway I was just curious to know if anyone had any details on them.
I am back only for a few hours and this is what I read about this sunny island... http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_354806.html Whats the matter with you people! Hahahahaha
As where I'd like to be the ang moh trapped in the body of Jamie Yeo eek now I'm starting to sound like KDK!
Derek, my bad - 599's are at my house, EmeraldHill. my good friends car. Its actually same car - we just had it wrapped Matte white wit Matte black roof/bonnet. regards Guy
