Do you ever get bored with the s2000?
I know the s2000 is a pretty special car, but even it can sometimes get boring. Have any of you all felt this way after a couple years of ownership? This is my second s2000 and I've probably put about 3 years of seat time between the two cars. I have urges to purchase a new car, perhaps something domestic, coupe, or 4 doored machine; however, I do not want to start making car payments again.
Have anyone felt this way? If so, how did you get past it?

I've had my 03 since new(102k miles)......and yes I do get bored with it if I drive it or ANY car day after day.My cure is having 5 cars.

Any car will get boring after awhile. The solution is to have more than one. I have a 2015 IS350 as my DD and the S2000 as a summer weekend toy. I always look forward to driving each.

I got bored of my AP1 when I had it as a DD and drove it as my only vehicle for 12 months out of the year.

I have never been bored with my AP2 when I bought my truck as my DD/beater for the rainy/cold/winter/crap days and only drove the S on nice days.

Agree. The S is the longest I've owned a car (10 years) and I believe it's purely because I don't drive it everyday. I have 50k on my '05.
To add to rlr's comment, we've got 6 cars currently. Variety is great. I still don't see myself selling the S anytime soon, I do still enjoy the car very much.

It's hard to get bored with the S. I have an Scion xB as a DD and that's a boring car. When I drive my 07, it makes me excited to drive again.

I get bored because it's so f-ing slow and I crave some thrills once in a while. So then I go ride my Ducati, which satisfies my urge for speed. And then I'm okay driving the slow S2000 for a few more days because it's the sensible/comfortable vehicle that I own. This cycle repeats over and over. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a decent/reliable car overall, and is fine on track, but as a street car, it's nothing spectacular.

Just leased a Civic Si and retired the S2K from daily duty.. Every time I get in the S now on the weekend it feels like a Ferrari coming from the civic lol.. Not in terms of speed but in terms of feel... I smile as soon as I get in it, every time.
