How many miles does your S have?

I tell everybody that I am in love with my car. They laugh and tell me that I am just in the "honeymoon" stage. I laugh and and tell them I will NEVER get bored of it. I still look forward to driving the S everytime I wake up, get off work, whatever. I drive about an hour 3X a week to go work out at a gym with a few of my buds. The other days one of them asked how im able to drive that much. I told him that I drive a freakin S2000 and that I enjoy being behind the wheel lol

Yea, there's no honeymoon stage. I'm at close to 10 years of ownership.

The honeymoon feeling is there...it just doesn't go away.

I'm impressed. There's not been many people I've run across that even knew Honda had a sports car that wasn't the Civic Si, let alone heard about the s800.

As for the "honeymoon" stage, I doubt I'll ever lose it. I've driven other coupes, convertibles, sports cars, and sporty cars (the first ride I bought myself was a Porsche 944). While I loved some and liked others, they all suffered from finding flaws over time.

NONE had the immediate feel I get in my s2k. None make me selfconscious that I look a tool when I get out, and look back to admire my car as I walk away. I could spend hours just looking. I could spend hours just sitting.. but the true joy is hours driving.

Autocross, and my S have stolen my heart (one begets the other).

Agree. I've had mine nearly eight years.

It's hard to understand why many stray from the S2000 to get a different car. Nine times out of ten, they buy another S2000 within a couple of months...

Good story.

I enjoy the car as much today as the first day I bought it. Come to enjoy driving a full sized sedan more though on long road trips.
