I've been watching youtube videos of people driving their s2000's in places with summer all year round.
I make sure to filter the results to see which videos are posted the most recently, so I can feel worse about not being able to drive my car...
am I a masochist at heart?

Slap it into neutral with the key in the ignition and have someone help you maneuver it around?

I haven't used my S2000 car cover in 5 years of ownership because I need to mess with the car all winter long. I just can't cover it up and walk away from it for 5 months. Tinkering with the car is my way on bonding with it during the winter storage months I guess , lol
I would do the same but I don't have my own garage space. This year I'll be living in a condo, I'm not sure the condo organization will like me doing a brake job in the parking garage. Also my parents garage is always jammed with their pool/backyard stuff in the winter which is unfortunate, because my dad has a compressor and air tools. I need to grow up and get my own spot.
Do it at odd hours, the condo Nazis are everywhere ! Trust me on that one.

I remember seeing on for sale in the classifieds a few days ago for $70. Had a hole where the antenna went but for that price you're not gonna find an oem cover.

I like the winter for snowboarding, thats it

No autox until May and the S is sleeping in the garage. I did start it and move it outside and let it run for a good while the other day because I needed to move the tC into the garage to change the oil. Otherwise it has been sitting there since the last time I moved it last month.

The itch to start buying parts to move it to STR is only getting worse over the winter months!

For those who didn't get this part in the original post

I've already bought some parts for my car, but hopefully I'm done now
