just out of curiousity, how will/has my s2k been affected for the following conditions

1) 75% of the first 600 miles were on the freeway
2) In the first 100 miles, I took it to V-Tec for 3-4 seconds on 3 seperate occasions (IT WAS THE BUTTERFLY I TELL YOU....THE BUTTERFLY!! )

please don't give me the bad news doc

Anything else I can do?
Don't skip gears shifting, or soon you might be grinding.

Drive it like you stole it!

VTEC everyday is the only way to go!

Don't baby a car that begs to be driven hard. The "easier" you try to drive it, the harder it is to drive (i.e. it doesn't shift as smooth and begs for high RPM's).

Personally, I think that an autocross is a great way to break in new S2000s...

Great way to break it in. Of course, I would allow a good 200 miles to get on the car beforehand, as you want to give the brakes and tires time to break in before hitting them hard.

But VTEC it!!!!!!!!
