Loving your s2000 too much to drive it as much?

I drive mine as much as I possibly can. Making a car a garage queen just seems silly. Might as well drive it as much as possible. Still loses value sitting in the garage. Bought mine 4 years ago with 65k on it. Have over 152k on it now. Any chance to drive it anywhere I take.

Im only at 41k and my front bumper, hood, and fenders look like someone blasted them with 9shot from a 12 gauge.

190K here, rock chip city, but still get compliments.
There are enough people who are keeping their cars nice for you, even in five years you can find a garage queen to buy.

I bought my car with 36k miles 4.5 years ago, and I'm at around 94k now. I just detailed the car completely over the past few weekends, after retiring it from DD duty, and plan on "restoring" the car over time. I want to do a front bumper replacement/repaint this winter, then over the next few years maybe tackle one area of the car at a time; replace all the suspension bushings and shocks, etc, one year, replace worn interior materials like the carpets and maybe have the seats recovered another, rebuild the engine, etc. I figure parts will be relatively plentiful for a while, and there's really nothing on the car that can't be fixed or replaced given enough time and $$$. Will be a fun project, and still a lot cheaper than buying a new Boxster or Corvette to replace it!
