I have a problem. I can not stop driving my car. I got it in Nov.2000, and now im closing in on 19K miles. That's right, over 2K mi per month. Is there any hope for me?

Is there anyone else out there who is racing to the end of the warranty period as well?
Don't sweat it man. After you hit 200,000 miles you'll get to pick out a new car.

Geez, I thought 5700 miles in 3 months was a lot, but that
s nuthin compared to some of you. Has any of your front ends taken a beating from highway driving paint chips. The rest of my car looks good, but if I continue at this rate, my front end will probably look like swiss cheese after this first year. I guess that will just give me an excuse to buy the Mugen front bumber.

I am only averaging 1000 mile/month on the S2000, but totalling all three cars, I usually do about 5000 miles a month with the maxima taking most of it. My g/f is in Dallas so I "commute" once a week... usually about 800-900 just for each weekend.
