my Dad has driven my S only once. And that one time he accidently jumped a curb and scratched the lip of my rear wheel. Never again....

I loan my cars to my parents on a frequent basis. They are picky, some they like some they don't.

Having owned a 64 E-type and a series of MGA'a and B's I knew they would like the S2000. They did. They liked it enough that they went out and purchased a Miata for my mothers toy car. True, not an S2000 but a better choice for a lot of people.

I'll let them drive it whenever they want. They know how much I like it, and they're both kinda wussy when it comes to beating on cars, so I'm not worried. They raised me and taught me how to drive manual trans, so I kind of owe it to them. Rock on, mom and dad!

Let my old man drive it on a trip we took down to the Oregon Coast... It was great. He drove for about five minutes and pulled over. I asked, "Dad, why you pulling over?" My dad responded, "I'm gonna get a ticket if I keep drivin' this thing, and I don't want to lose my CDL."

He had an Austin Healey Sprite back in the day, so he really appreciates the S. He says, "That thing's a classic roadster; just keep it stock, it's great the way it is." He asks how my car is everytime I talk to him. He acts like it's a member of the family. I love my old man.
