Default 300k milestone achieved!

This past weekend, the wife and I took a short trip down the Florida coast to share in a momentous milestone. Our little car turned 300k miles in a little over 19 years! Tons of fun memories with the Southern California S2Ki gang in the first decade of ownership. Great DIY / tech days and some amazing group drives in the canyons and hills East of San Diego. Times I will never forget.

Here's to many more years and miles in what is by far the best car I have ever had the pleasure to own......hands down.

Congratulations! It's a testament to how well the S2000 was designed and built.

That's awesome. I'm not sure which is more impressive, the fact that your S2000 racked up 300K miles or the fact that it all happened under your ownership. I hope that you hang on to your S for as long as you are still driving.

Not the original motor. The first one went until 209k, then dropped a valve and nuked it!
