It's a toy. I don't go out in rain, but I have RISKED rain with it. I have gotten hit wil some light sprinkles, but she goes away for the winter at the end of the month.

She gets driven every other day, year round. I commute 150 miles daily so I switch off with our Civic.

I use it whenever I'm at point 'A', and have this burning need to be at point 'B'

EDIT: It's not only a car, it's a well engineered car. I've owned garage queens in the past (Fiat, MG, Mini, Citroen). Soul is good, reliability is good, both is fantastic.

I think most would agree this is a great car that can be many things to many people. The coolest part is I think the car repells a**holes. It takes a certain kind of person to recognize the uniqueness, or soul, of the car. This car is not about facade, although it is gorgeous. Its about getting in touch with the sound of the VTEC at 8900 RPM's so the next shift is picture-perfect. Its about testing the limits of the steering and steering with the accelerator. Its about the confidence you build as your relationship with the car developes. The S2000 is probably not the best car built on the planet, but its close.
BTW...
Its our third car (TL & 330i), so I have this desire to keep it looking brand new in the garage, though I will put about 6K miles a year...

I drive mine everyday and everywhere...I'd estimate I drive it maybe 100 miles per day on average. To me, though, it really is just a car, albeit a pretty fun one to drive.

just so you know, your poll might be a bit misleading- those of us in so. calif can drive pretty much year round top down.
o.k.- no need to move here, its crowded enough!!!

Before I bought my car in December of '02, I decided that I wanted it to be clean all the time and I don't want to lose appreciation for what it is. So, I decided to keep my '01 Altima to drive on rainy days and as a reminder of what a normal car is. I made up a simple rule that I would only drive the S2000 on days when there is no chance of rain and never two days in a row. I figured that this would also limit me to under 7500 miles per year which would also save me on insurance. Well, normally the summers in Atlanta are hot and dry, but this year it seemed to rain (or at least there was a good chance) most days. Now I only have 2700 miles on it. I've had to give up the no two days in a row thing and am now trying to make it to my first oil change at 3750 miles before one year goes by.

Daily driven, year round. I just can't imagine NOT enjoying it everyday.
