Actually, it's very possible. The GM small block pushrods are indestructible.

Nothing wrong with putting that mileage on the car, but a major for not taking much better care of it. Maybe it will be restored one day.

I wish all S2Ks were taken care of like mine!

if the guy didn't take care of the car, as everyone's assuming, and it still lasted 195k miles, that's a pretty solid testatment to the s2000's build quality. just think how long it would run if you really cared for the vehicle like most of us do.

Honestly if he made it to 195k with treating it like crap that makes me feel really good about the potential longevity my properly-maintained car has.
