I've recently found myself in a quandary. I own a MY00 GPW and have for a number of years now. I absolutely love driving it, but it has just hit 120k. I have been driving my wife's old Elantra to work everyday for a few months now since I bought her a new CRV for her to daily. My problem is, I cant decide which vehicle to drive. On one hand, I hate putting miles on the S2000, but on the other hand, I hate driving such a blah car EVERY DAY to work. Shouldn't your daily commute be somewhat enjoyable? In a perfect world, I'd have something comfy AND fast to daily and possibly have my S2000 for weekends or to trade out with during the week, but I live in no such place because my salary doesnt allow for it. Does anyone else have this issue of punishing the S2000 and yourself for the whole week or am I just crazy?

 

Say your car will last 200k miles.
Do you guaranty yourself living that much ?
I think you'll be bored before the car is to be dumped.
Just drive it and enjoy while you can.

 

The S2k is just such a drivers car. I have my civic at 137k miles and I find myself driving my S2k as much as possible. SO yes, drive it except on rainy and snowy days.

 

Remove one of the coil packs from your S and have your wife hide it? Then you will have no choice but to drive the elantra.

 

I owe money on the S2000, but I could pay it off easily if I sold the Hyundai which I own. I could then start saving for a newer, better daily. I'd be stuck with one car though and I like having that option to leave the S at home on rainy days.

 

There you go...

 

I drive my S on nice days only. I'd keep doing what you are doing and pay off the S. Then you can sell the Elantra and buy a different DD if wanted.

 

"Shouldn't your daily commute be somewhat enjoyable?"

No.......

 

I dont know about you, but I'd like to make it as enjoyable as possible. You can have your mundane commute.

 

Why don't you like putting miles on it. That's like not sleeping with a supermodel.
