When Chris Cutler caught the attention of us and thousands of others, We built an Acura NSX trailer for Acura NSX. He chopped one in half and towed it behind the other. His DIY work also inspired Acura to recreate the project. With a brand new version of the supercar. Unfortunately, I am sad to write that Cutler died in an accident early Monday morning while driving his 2001 Honda S2000.
NBC Connecticut According to reports, Cutler was driving on Interstate 91 South in Wallingford when he crashed into a guardrail near Exit 13. After he ran off the road and onto an embankment, he was taken to Yale New Haven Hospital, where he died. He was only 41 years old.

They both have nothing but great things to say about him, not only for his obvious ingenuity, but also for his kindness.
“He was just a gem of a human being,” Segal told me. “I loved the community and loved sharing my builds with everyone.”
“His ultimate goal was to drive through all 48 states with the dog in that setting,” Segal recalls.

Tributes and condolences poured in in the comments section of Cutler's Instagram. @nsxtra. He had nearly 75,000 followers on this account who loved seeing his bold projects and the cool art they inspired.
This is not the type of post we normally run on this site, but we would like to remember Cutler and highlight his accomplishments in the automotive community. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all those whose passion he touched. It's never easy, especially with a solid player like Chris.
