How many days did it take you all to reach 600 miles? I'm going to take this afternoon off and see if I can't rack up a few miles... must reach 600 miles before the snow starts flying!

One Day! well, may be two days.
I'll be picking up my car right before Thanksgiving from Ohio to Gerogia (That's over 700 miles drive) I should be ready for VTEC as soon as I am back home?
I might take the whole week off to just ride around the east cost and visit my family members in Ohio, New York, Tennessee, And North Carolina. Just hop ethe weather stay up sunny like last few weeks!

Took me about four days. Nothing like the feeling of VTEC... the crossover at six grand, the sudden throaty groooooowwl, the kick in the back. The banshee wail... the way you feel like you're being sucked into some kind of event horizon... that gutteral growl... gotta shift... GOTTA SHIFT... NO CAR SHOULD SOUND LIKE THIS!
Goodness, never had it to 9000? Even though my default driving style is more or less Civic-like, I still wind it out on occasion. The sound of a quickly executed 9000 rpm shift in an S2000 from second to third gear, with an ensuing stomp on the accelerator, is about the most stunning automotive music I have ever heard. Try it once. It's quite intoxicating.

took way too long, but VTECed at 601 miles (had to find the right spot, as you know)... i do remember the wait (my name used to be VTEC wanabe). be very careful in rain or snow- those tires aren't very good in those conditions.

It took me one day. I drove it from New Orleans to some godforesaken place on the way to New York. The next morning, in Kentucky, I went vtecing on a country road lined with extremely ramshackled people that each owned satellite dishes. That afternoon I hit some switchbacks in the mountains. That is still the greatest day of driving I've ever done.
