IF I could afford to squirrel it away in perfect storage?
You BET.
The NSX is a fine collectible.
I have questions about the 'keeping' of the batteries and all the electrics. Should the car be kept on some kind of trickle charge? Started / driven on a regular schedule?
Can you get snow Tires?
Too much is never enough

Hey, in 20 years, if the capitalists take over the planet, you won't need snow tires, 'cause there won't be snow anymore - it'll be too warm. ("Down With Capitalism, Up With Carbon Trading Exchanges And Snow Tires!");)

IF? What makes you think the capitalist don't run things now?
The next group would be the UN Populists.
But I think the winner will be the Bilderberg Group. An unbeatable combination of banking and politics.
Carbon Trading Exchanges? Just another scam.
The REAL problem is TOO MANY PEOPLE.
Too much is never enough
I have to disagree on the "too many people" point.If you had said "too many people not producing anything and dragging the rest of us down", I'd be inclined to agree. But it is not my fault that there are collectively billions of people in China, India, Central and South America, the African continent and the Mideast who are killing us (figuratively) by their lack of contribution to civilization.
Frankly, I'm sick and tired of endless "dot orgs" and food companies yapping about "ending hunger" and the U.S. government taking my money to feed other people. "Ending hunger" ain't gonna happen until the slackers pick up the ball and start fending for themselves instead of relying on the rest of us to feed, clothe, medicate and educate them.
Yes, there are slackers right here in the U.S., but they're a drop in the bucket compared to what we export to help the rest of the world.
Just sayin'.

#51,
without going into agonizing detail, the PLANET is heading for the 'limits to growth'.
Examples?
Let's say we could feed everyone 1200 calories per day. Now, what do you do with the NEXT Billion people? Exponential growth of population is less than 2% which is STILL a doubling time of 36 years. Call the real doubling 45 years. UNless food production ALSO doubles in the next 45 years, we will be going backwards. Infinite Oceans? Plastic content rising. Dead / Oxygen depleted areas risisng. OVER FISHING is endemic. Are GMOs the solution or the problem?
Now, about Natural resources? Is there enough even with PERFECT convervation and recycling?
How about WATER? Wars and disagreements between nations are ALREADY becoming 'about water'.
Pollution? Food Supply?
Carrying capacity of the planet is the REAL #1 issue. These limits apply, even in a perfect world of maximum self sufficiency and sharing of resources. I think of it as a teeter totter. You can have a VERY high standard of living for a LOT of people for what amounts to a short period of time. OR you can have a SUSTAINABLE standard of living almost forever IF you limit the number of persons.
My opinion is that a FEW organizations are trying to get the planet into a position for a Soft Landing since the alternative is a CRASH and BURN situation. The End.
Too much is never enough
