Go out to lunch and drive that 1 mile. On the way back to the office, take the street where the comptech guys drive tha cars and vtec pass their offices.

Okay, I ended up at work with 599 miles on the S2000 (it was actually after getting back from lunch). I drove the S2000 yesterday because the weather started to clear up and the sun came out (it had rained the night before). I was anxious for the drive home from work so I could pass the 600 mile mark.

Well, get this--it got very cloudy and started to rain in the late afternoon! So much for hot rodding around on the drive home, and so much for keeping the car clean! I managed to explore VTEC country at about 603 miles, but I wasn't able to stay there long because of the after-work traffic.

So I drove the car to work this morning and got into VTEC territory a couple of times (traffic permitting) but only took it up to 6500-7000 RPMs. I did drive by the Comptech building, and that's when I took it up to 7500-8000 RPMs. I don't know if they heard me, but it was fun. So much for my gradual build-up of RPMs though!

I'll have to bring my digital camera to work and snap some shots of my view. Maybe I can get a couple of their cars in action.

I wouldn't worry too much about the gradual build-up of RPMs. At 600 miles, I went to redline for my first VTEC experience.

Yes, from my office window I have a plain view of the Comptech building here in El Dorado Hills, CA.
