Steve,

Your car is fine, I leased my '05 and I've beat on it since day 1 and it loves it.

However, don't be so critical on this board. Bragging about your FICO score and how much you're pulling in a month at 20 years old being a mortgage broker isn't going to get you a lot of friends here. Being humble and not talking sh** will get you a lot farther in life.

Secondly, most people that HAVE don't brag about it. I've had clients worth a few hundred million or more roll up in their 1990 Crown Vic. Think about it.

BTW, your owner's manual is most likely in the "secret" compartment.

here's a good link to just an overall knowledge of the car.
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=301506

just take a look on top of each forum and take a look at the "stickies." a lot of questions that you might have are probably answered there...and drive carefully.

No kidding. My clients with over $200M all roll up in Gulfstream V's. Always seems they do care who knows it.

Somebody says, "Hey man, take the car for a spin....take it to the limits"...How is this guy supposed to know what the limits are??? If something happens to the car, take it back to the dealer..right? The S2000 is a hardcore sports-car. I know there is a break-in period, but how many of us took an s2k out for a test drive and revv'd it to 9000 rpm's when it had only 5 miles on it???

This person is asking an honest question....Let's just respect that there is a new owner on board and that there is one less Miata on the road!!!
