Default how mint is your S2k?

Just kinda curious as to who has the oldest S2000 with the least miles on it....

I got a '01 NFR with a little over 60k miles on it.

Mint cars are cool, but I want to see the most ratchet, broke ass, used and abused S2000s around too.

Exactly! Bonus points for original owners. They are really enjoying those cars!

That said, my mileage is on the low side. Original owner, 2003 AP1, 62K miles. I feel guilty about the low miles sometimes, but the car has been heavily autocrossed since 700 miles.

I just crossed 90k mi on my 04 - I wish I had more miles on it provided they are quality, fun miles. Having the oldest S with the least miles is not a competition I want to be part of!

When searching for an s2000 before I bought it, it was odd to be how many s2000s had extremely low (<50k) miles. For being a 10+ year old car, people seem to not really drive them much. I guess this is a good thing that they are being preserved though. I chalked it up to that they are a small rwd convertible and not many people have them as their DD.

About as far from mint as you can get. ~270k miles.

Damn, you beat me to the punch there. I was going to post my '03 Berlina with 190k but I've been bested already! Good to see there's hope of high mileage potential with these engines!

My car was mint when I got it three years ago. Every mark is a memory. Like the time that piece of pavement nicked the hood on the way to the windshield. Or the time that **** with a weed wacker didn't pause for me to drive by and a piece of dirt hit my driver fender. Or the time I didn't put my windshield wipers down to lift the hood and I stayed mad at myself all week. And every micro-swirl is one loving car wash too many without polish.
