Default Good Reliability/No mechanical issues (grind, clutch, diff) - Am I the only one?

I have 9000 miles on it and have driven in Texas hot and cold weather as well as some long distances.

I have never experienced 1-2 grind, buzzing clutch, broken differential like some owners have reported.
I am wondering if I am the only one with good reliable S2000 experience ?

Come on! You don't really VTEC do you? I mean VEEEEETEEEEC!!

Drop the clutch?
Drive 155mph?
VTEC in Reverse?
Auto-X it?
Track it?
Drag Strip it?

Everybody I know has had problems with their car, except for Shingles. and Dave, and Lips2000, and ITR, ....

Nevermind. I guess it's only me and Wesmaster having problems.

28k miles since 8/22/2000... I've had many problems but I still love the car.

600 miles of smooth driving, 8000 miles of screaming to the redline, and no mechanical problems. However, I have limited myself to only 3 clutch drops thus far, and don't ever plan to do any more (even though they were fun!).

Only 3 months, 2,300 mi. and no problems yet *knocking on wood*. Oh, except once the EPS light came on, but I re-started the engine and it went off.

I don't think you're the only one that hasn't had any problems. The majority of the members on this board haven't had problems. I picked mine up in Sept. 99 and have only 7000 miles on it without a single problem.
