Default Have you guys notice when you drive your beater

I tend not to drive my s2000 too much and keep it at home trying to keep the maintenances cost down, paint and saving the motor. I drive my beater around most of the time but sometimes I find my self-driving my own car. For some reason when I drive my car around I just don't want to stop driving the s2000 and want every turn to keep on approaching. I even sometimes take the long way home because it just more fun. Just wanted to share with you guys.

I tend to drive the S2000... I tend to drive it hard... hitting it all over town...

I have friends who keep their cars in the garage and drive them once a week or once a month... I'm not into that...

I drive the TLS when I want navigation and climate control and the VW bus when I want to go way slow, but the S gets driven, I'm not "saving" it for anything, I'm enjoying it...

thanks for listening...*G*

heh.. yeah - for some reason when i get cut off or get messed up by some bum move when i'm driving the 4Runner, I tend to think to myself, "that wouldn't have happened if I was in the S2000"

err... whatever

I don't know - what's the point of buying the car if you're not going to drive it that much?
I mean if you're a millionaire and have like a dozen cars, then fine.

but just drive the darn thing! it's meant to be driven! I just think it's a waste spending all that time and money and not enjoying it. If things happen, they happen. make the best of it.

I drove my car way to much already it has like 50k miles the main reason is because I'm always on the freeway and that just a waste around LA freeway. The congestion on the freeway just sucks if you drive about 2 hrs worth. My beater though isn't a bad car a 2000 Accord V6 it a lot more comfy but it not very fun.

I always take the long way home.
I've replaced 2 sets of rear tires in about 7 months.

I just know I'm a raging asshole when I drive the S2000.

I like that there are guys out there that don't drive their car every day.... that's a good idea... try to preserve it, k?

Cuz after I've driven the wheels off my S... I'm gonna want to buy yours and totally appreciate it!

If only I could stop driving it... it's a war I can't win...
