If it becomes undrivable, I'll probably jump into another roadster.

When she gets too old and begins having pains, I will give her a new heart transplant (new motor). This car is going to stay with me until they remove me from my house feet first!

imagine when there are no gas cars left and you've still got one of these in your garage, mint.

I'll give her an engine out of the new S2000(whatever year that may be) 2.5L , maybe. Refresh all the bushings , freshen up the paint, and start all over again. Then, when I die, I'll leave it in my will to strip it sell the parts to you guys for dirt cheap and then I'll have the fastest casket 6 feet deep . ( the Hids have to be buried w/ me sorry )

I think i'll keep this car until my funds are right to make a bigger purchase for an M3, 911
Those are probably the two I am hinging on for the next car, assuming no wifey/kid issues at that point.

Depending on when it happens and funds, I may still keep the S ... as both of the above I would get as a coupe and not vert...

but for now I couldnt imagine anything but my S, it is sweeet

I'm committed to long term ownership, unless parts availability should become a problem a few years from now. At this point, a month short of four years, I am not even thinking of ditching it. The limiting factor which might make me change my find is the issue of my physical flexibility. At 67 years of age, and a semi-successful veteran of three lumbar spinal surgeries, I do not stoop and bend as well as in former years. If getting in and out ever becomes too taxing, I would be forced to sell. My granddaughter is starting kindergarten next September. Perhaps I could give her the car as a high school graduation present.

Are you guys on drugs?? This is......afterall, a HONDA.


I bought my s2k almost a year ago now and yes, it is a great car......but nothing to write home about. I love being able to take the S out and unwind after a long day at work, but at the end of the day it's a Honda

Dream car?? ummm....sure

Why would you want to keep it until death (as some of you put it) as if it's a classic??

I don't mean to flame any of you guys specifically, but why do you guys seem to think that you drive a super car??

It's one thing to enjoy your car, but many of you are taking this to a whole new level.

Open the flood gates.....flame away.

Maybe some of us can't afford anything nicer. And it is a classic. Show me another high strung 4-cyl. convertible with great handling and a smooth body for under $35,000. This car is perfect for me, period.
