hi guys,

I just bought a 2006 sebring silver s2000 a few days ago for the wife's daily driver. When I showed her a s2000 one week ago, for the first time, it was love at first drive for her. Goodbye mercedes. It immediately met with my approval and after a few tough days trying to get her colour, it has a home in Fullerton, California.

We go everywhere together on the weekends and she hates my car so this was a winner. She hasn't driven stick in almost 30years so there was a few tense moments as she considered a 2door accord instead!!!! Scary.

My daily driver is a fully restored 62 corvette: 4spd, red on red, on good days. I love the s2000 and look forward to tweeking it and giving it the best care possible.

By the way, this 1000mile/less than 5500rpm breakin period is torturing me!!!

You guys come highly recommended and the first order of the day is to install a custom navigation system and get to work with some red calipers and anything else to make this car live up to it's full potential.

Cheers Cliff & Grace Hallum - Fullerton California

Hello fellow S2k drivers!

I've purchased 2004 S/B S2K about a month ago and was referred to this friendly website by RhinoS2k in LA, CA at a gas station. Couldn't figure out how to open the gas lid but another fellow S2k driver (RhinboS2k) came by for the gas rescue.

I've boght this car as my new toy but never ran into such enthusiastic group of car owners! Originally I was planning to drive it for 2 years for fun before selling it... but I am having too much fun with this car! I might have to buy another car for dd in a bit.

I can't wait to take this car to the track for a light drive and I look foward to driving this car to its limit.

Augustine, LA, CA

It should be broke in after 600 miles, and welcome to the site. Can you post a pic of the 44 yr old car?

The manual has always said 600 miles, unless it has changed for 06.
