It started, but I couldn't tell if I had creases in the back window (the window's kind of hard to see when it's folded down )

I started my car Saturday and went on a fun Road Rally with about a half dozen or so other S2000's. Could not believe that there were other people out there that owned one of these crappy S2000's, I mean, Honda says I should have gotten 26 mpg on the highway, and, here I am Vtecing the heck out of my car and I am getting 29 mpg out of her....I think I better take it back to my dealer so that they can determine why my mpg's are so high. Other than that, no problems in about 8,200 miles, well, with the exception of that raccoon that I had a head on collision with. Honda never warned me about raccoons, I think I will sue them now

Mine does have the window issue but I am not worried about that for I know that Honda will fix that. To add a side note I am sorry to hear about people loosing faith in Honda service. I PERSONALY broke 14 of the 16 valves in mine and Honda fixed it and told me to never do that again. At the same time handing me a check for the towing . Other than that 4 months of unbelievable daily driving.

Not that I weighed the raccoon or anything, but I am guessing it was around 30 pounds, and, since I was doing around 50 mph on a 2-lane road with a car to my right and one behind me, I had no choice but to hit it head on.....this resulted in $1,500 in damages. Did your car suffer any damages, or did your wheels just run it over? (By the way, my car looks better now than it did before the incident)

Mine started, 16,000 trouble free, blissful, sometimes pants-soiling (for passengers), always awe-inspiring miles. Nothing but consumables used thus far.
