Exactly.

The driving spirit is embodied in the engineering and design of the car. There aren't too many other cars more suited to a road trip than a Honda S2000. Period.

Live dangerous and be a bad ass like me... Im stationed in NJ and i have driven my s 10 hours to maine and a 4 day trip oregon... no spare tire, no tools, no oil. And ive done the maine trip like 8 times... Your car shouldnt need oil, mine never does i change it every 3000 miles and its always right at the perfect mark on the dipstick... and i drive it hard as shit. Youll be fine! Except for your lower back!! Long drives kill my back in that thing.. after 8 hours it becomes uncomfortable and kinda crappy oh well get out and stretch haha. And as far as tape... well i have a few minor rock dings on the front bumper only noticable to me so youll be fine and ive put a good 40,000 on it so dont tailgate cause only tailgaters get rock dings.

Get one of these lumbar supports from Therm-a-Rest. I got mine at a local Relax-the Back retail store.

I drove my S about 3+ hours on the way home from picking it up. It was a lot better in terms of comfort than I thought it would be for a sports car. Now when you're talking about 4+ hours, that's quite a ride in ANY car in my opinion.

It all depends on the person as well. I've done 15+ hour driving days (not nonstop but with breaks) in the S on long road trips with no complaints. Others have back pain in a few hours or less.
