Today is the 6th year anniversary with this car. Been a good 73k miles since I got it with 113k. These really are great cars, aside from a clutch, window and top replacement, zero mechanical issues.

April was my 7th anniversary for my 2009. Started with 30K and now just past 70K. No mechanicals. Added insulation and Billman’s TCT.
It has been a real catalyst for exploring the Sierra Nevada, State and National Parks, and all along the Pacific Coast.

Purchased mine in 2010 with ~36k miles. After a ~2400 mile road trip last week I'm about 900 miles shy of 100k. Just the normal maintenance, though the soft top is showing signs of wear and the thin Honda paint has lead to a fair number of chips.

5th year anniversary (today) from acquiring my '06 Silverstone. About 4600 miles/year. New roof last month although the little tear over the passenger shoulder wasn't that ugly.

Little tear, little pregnant, little dead, all the same.

We have 10 years with our '06 S, we got it with 19k miles and now after our 8300 mile, 23 state, 30 day trip last month we now have 160k miles on it. We also have a tear on the passenger side of the top but my wife sewed it up(about 1") 9 years ago. Still have the original top that all we do is clean it when we wash the car and make sure its dry before we put it down.

This is a great car to see the country by back roads, so leave the interstate for the large comfy cars.

p.s. Canada is also a great country to see with the S

Criminies! My car is 15 years old; I’ve had it for 13; yet to see 32,000 miles. Probably a third of the mileage is coming and going to track days.

At 64 years of age I ain't sleeping on the ground. Yes, hotels and B&B's for the wife and I. We still take our grandson camping but you can't believe all the stuff we put in the truck so the wife and I sleep well and to be able to get up in the morning with no more aches than normal(the grandson sleeps on the ground, he's 6).
