Cant wait for the snow to come, and see how "well" this car performs

I think I am just gonna get some all season high performance tires for 50 miles of highway driving everyday, its a waste to run S02 on 270; Pirelli P7000SS I think, I still can't forget this guy's face in a Durango sliding downhill when my little Civic passed him weaving left and right with the Pirellis on ......

Yep- Drive it like you want. But he who drinks his tequila every day has an empty tequila bottle by Saturday.

I guess yours is not a Year 2000 S2000. If you want to collect one, thats the year to have.

My wife drives our 2000 S2K to work every day. She has a 15-minute commute on surface streets and parks in a Faculty parking lot at the University where she teaches. The limitations are the size of the trunk for carrying school materials and the obvious risks of parking a limited edition car in a parking lot, especially one at a school.

That having been said, the car has 25,000 miles on it, is in great shape, and has suffered minimally for this utilitarian wear and tear.

The few times that I have driven it to work have been a mixed blessing. Going to work at 5:00AM is fine with little traffic and an open freeway. Coming home on the 101/134 at 6:00PM is a major pain in the butt with traffic moving at 17 to 25 miles per hour. The six-speed stick and the 9,000 redline do you no good. Under those circumstances, you need an automatic and less noise so that you can at least catch up on business calls (hands free, of course).

For what its worth.

I drive mine everyday, 43 miles one way to work. I can't think of a better reason to go to work I got MY2001 on July 4th and now have 13K miles on her. When she won't go no more, I'll just get another one

haha, you sound like the people who told my father his 1965 convertible Corvette wasn't going to increase in value. Gee, they made a lot of corvettes haven't they? By your logic, you'd think the old ones would be worthless huh? He sold his vette for $5000 and the car is now worth $60,000. Makes you think.

The 2000 S2000 was a limited production vehicle and every year after has increased production significantly. And of course other years model name doesn't match their production year. There also happens to be a significance to the year "2000" itself historically. Not to mention that the 2000 year vehicle was produced as a 50th anniversary Honda vehicle. Other years aren't anniversary year cars.

So I couldn't say you're more wrong on the value- but if you're driving the car to work every day, you're obviously not interested in its resale value any further into the future than 5 or 6 years.
And you're right, if its not a year 2000 S2000, I wouldn't worry too much about that either- you didn't buy it for that.

In fact, you've convinced me otherwise- yes...everyone buying the cars now should drive them to work every day- park them under trees, and follow close behind cement trucks. I agree 100%. The fewer that survive the next 50 years the better.
