Give the guy a break! He put 195,00 miles on his car, which is more than all but a handfull of all S2000 owners. Most cars never see that many miles. Heck - most S2000s will likely never see that many miles.

Maybe some of you have never driven a car into the ground before, but you're asking quite a bit from this guy. He'd probably have to put over $15,000 into the car to get it into halfway decent shape, and it would only be worth about 5,000 more. That would be pi$$ing away good money.

Do you know how long he owned the car? He may have bought it all beat up for cheap and he's just milking the remaining miles out of it.

He's driven an S2000 for 195,000 miles. He'd purchase another one. Why do you say he couldn't care less? Sounds to me like he really likes the car.

[QUOTE=JFUSION,Aug 22 2010, 03:23 PM] That's blasphemous !

When you see an S2k treated like that it's almost like wanting to save a stray cat or dog, getting them away from harms way and suffering further indignities.
