- This second-generation NSX has been loaded up with dirt, grass, and sticks.
- Shockingly, the owner doesn’t appear to have put a liner down to protect the car’s carpets and floor mats.
- This isn’t the first time we’ve seen an NSX used for more practical purposes than it was originally designed for.
Like most mid-engined cars, the Acura NSX isn’t particularly practical. However, if there’s a will, there’s a way, and the owner of this NSX was clearly determined to put it to good use for some gardening.
Photos of this Acura were shared to Facebook by Vistec R Imports, an importer of JDM vehicles into the U.S. They show a New York-registered Acura NSX parked on the side of the street with its trunk filled with dirt, grass, and sticks, presumably from the owner’s yard. There is even a large shovel in the trunk and the engine cover has been propped open with a pair of garden shears.

As if using an expensive supercar like the NSX in that manner wasn’t wild enough, the owner has also filled the passenger seat with dirt and grass. While a photo snapped of the car’s cabin isn’t super clear, we can’t see any lining or bags that may have been placed over the seat to keep it from getting dirty.
Is there a reasonable explanation as to why the owner of this NSX would load it up with garden waste like this? Perhaps, although we’re struggling to think of one. Maybe the owner didn’t have access to a wheelbarrow and decided using the supercar would be the next best thing? Or maybe they just did it knowing they could snap a few interesting photos of their car being put to good use?
While this is the first time we’ve seen an NSX used like this, it’s not the first practical take we’ve seen on the car. Last year, Acura sliced an NSX prototype in half and converted it into a trailer, using it to carry tires, fluids, and tools for the eight-day One Lap of America road rally.
