Have you heard about the Honda Goldwing that went 1,000,000 miles? Honda swapped the owner for a brand new fully loaded Goldwing so they could get that bike back and see what they did wrong.

My sisters CRV has 100k miles on it and the engine is still strong. However the tranny is a different story. Its been slipping like mad.

With the S2000 im sure the engine will last 300k miles. The differential though maybe a totally different story.

billman could probably do some minor adjustments for you and it should run fine

88 Prelude Si at 245,000 miles. Whats more amazing is that the car is 16 years old and still runs good.

you cant worry about not drivin ur car cuz its not paid off and u wanna preserve it. i use to think like that all the time too and my clutch went and i wish i wouldve driven it more. just maintain it, change the oil, all that good stuff and u should be fine.
