If only the S2000 is this reliable!
Last night, I eclipsed the 90,000 mile mark with my '97 del Sol (VTEC).
Two valve adjustments, one set of brake pads (at 67k), tons of oil changes and 3 sets of tires. Never any problem whatsoever!

s2000 may not be reliable like other Honda.
but it is still the most reliable I have own.
BMW 328, the LCD display dim at 5K miles
, CLK- the oil fuel meter was out of order in 3K miles and the dealer never able to fix it to the day I sold it

Congrats on 90K! I had 120,000 on my 1992 GS-R (the firts USDM car to get Honda's VTEC B motor) and then sold it to my brother and his wife. It now has 140,000 miles and regularly sees its 8,000rpm redline.
Other than a distributor that died (but was fixed for FREE by Acura in one day -- it's a known bug), the car has never broken down. Just routine service. Should make it to 200,000 in a couple years. Honda VTEC motors (at least the B-series) are SUPER-DURABLE.

1986 CRX Si, sold in 1998 at 177,000 miles:
Replaced radiator once (fins came loose from tubes - Massachusetts salt)
Replaced timing belt twice (water pump never), about to do it again
Replaced tires, brake pads, rear linings 2-3 times (several driving schools, time trials)
Replaced front strut/shocks once
Replaced battery once (with DieHard)
Replaced exhaust twice (salt again)
Changed oil, filters regularly
Adjusted valves 2-3 times (very minor adjustments needed)
Only the radiator is not a routine maintenance item, damn good for 12 years and 177k miles. Ran like new when sold, used no oil between changes, getting a few rust spots around rear fenders and over windshield.

my sol is approaching the 100k mark... besides the general maintenace, the only major thing done was I had to replace the dust boots on the front axle and I had an O2 sensor fuse itself in when the people that changed my oil flooded it with oil and then left the dipstick out... oh, and quite a few trips to the body shop for little dents and dings(NOT MY FAULT I SWARE!!!!) stupid shopping carts and vandals at the honda dealer.. grumble grumble grumble
