Just when I think that I'm putting a lot of miles on per/yr., someone comes along and does almost double! Any issues with the car other than regular maintenance as you're approaching 100k? I'll be there in 2 yrs. - right about the time my 7 yr./100k HondaCare warranty will be expiring.

Only one REAL problem.
I had a loose wire or some sort of bad connection on the computer. The dealer(s) kept thinking it was the computer that was screwing up, and causing the car to misfire, and kept replacing the computer. I had 4 or 5 replacements. Finally, at 70,000 miles Honda sent out a tech and figured out the problem. It's been fixed ever since, and I haven't had any complaints.
Other than that;
* It burns about a quart or so of oil between changes because I still drive it pretty hard when I get the chance.
* There is wear in the top where the little elastic bands have worn down, and a very small hole has developed. Not big enough to get rain through, but big enough to see daylight.
* I have extensive chips on the front bumper from bugs/ rocks.
* It seems like I have to buy tires every 6 months or so (Still have the autocross alignment, so I really have to watch the front tires).
* My driver side convertible latch broke about a month ago. I was putting the top down and I heard something crack. Don't know how that one happened, but it was easily fixed with a new latch.
I autocrossed the car at approximately 50 events over the first two years I had the car (and have the trophies to prove it
) and it's still going strong, so if you haven't raced yours, and it's not a daily driver then trust me, it will last a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG time.
Mods: Saner front sway bar, voodoo knob, K&N filter, Mobil 1 oil, upsized front and rear tires, De'lan hitch receiver.
