Default Newcomer, just bought used 2001 S2000

I got it two days ago at around 6:25PM (I live in CA). It came with 4.57 gears, Enkei RPF1's, AEM V2, and VAFCII among other little things.

I have been shopping around for about two months now. My joy has been overwhelming me as I wake up early to go cruise (racked up 370'ish miles).

Hitting VTEC while entering a freeway =

I have not launched yet nor have I gotten sideways. I am a little too conservative to abuse my car and I am extremely paranoid about something breaking. I guess I shouldn't be because its a honda.

Sorry for the rant. I will be catching up on some reading in "Under the Hood".

2001 with 49,351 miles currently.

When is maintenance due? And are there any tips and things to look out for in order to maintain my lovely car's engine, powertrain, and exterior body?

All maintenance recommendations are in your owners manual if you have it. If not, there is a .pdf somewhere on the internet.

well just because its a honda doesnt mean it wont break. The diff is a known weak point, so make sure you know how to properly launch the car before you do!!!! But otherwise, congrats on the car. If you dont mind me asking, how much did u pay?
