IMO Honda service is terrible. (I think they would propitiate more business if they held there service departments to a higher standard) but this is not a thread complaining about Honda service. I am just curious whose car has been at a service/repair shop the longest. I think I might take the cake on this one, but if anyone has me beat I would like to know about it, and see how you survived. I'm just curious.
I know wesmaster was without his car for a long time, but I have him beat.

Between Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th of June (sometime around midnight) my car became disabled from the flood in Houston caused by tropical storm Allison. On Sunday the 10th it was towed to a Honda dealership and today, (75 days later) they are still working on it. Now they have not been working on my car for 75 days; some of those days have been spent battling with my insurance company, so Honda is not responsible for the entire time frame I have been away from my car. I guess what I am really getting at is: how long have you been separated from your S2000?

I am on day number 75 (and counting).
Am I alone? Or are there others out there?

One week to the day for me! No fun at all... I drove my Odyssey to work today and just about rear ended a guy. The S2000 stops so quick I apply the brakes much later. Not so the case in the Odyssey!

Two days. One day to do the TSB for the seat belts and one day to put in a new dash. The old one had dimples.
