Will our cars still be cool in 10 years? Will YOU still be driving it?

Hey MaxGeek, why won't it be reliable in 5 years if you put 12K a year on it? It is a Honda after all

Hey Emily,
A couple of things to think about, company cars have a habit of 'going away' with Dilbert-like changes in companies.
Also, you really should drive the S more than a couple times a month, if for no other reason than to have some fresh gas in it. Cars like to be exercised to stay in running order.
The S or saving for a house? Well the house is certainly a wise investment and it's nice to have your own place. Especially with a garage to park the S in.
Good Luck.

I think the S will end up being like the RX7 and the supra; a really sweet looking car with timeless appeal which will be desired by enthusiants as the rx7 and Supra are today; 10 years after the latest models were sold I believe...

Trouble is, my 66th birthday is fast approaching. By 10 years from now, will they have developed compact walkers which will fit in the trunk? I really worry about that. My mother is 92 years old, and has never ridden in my S2000. Out of the question nowadays, because of the size of her walker. My driving might also scare the remaining years out of her.
But seriously, my S2000 has been absolutely faultless from a reliability perspective. As long as Honda keeps making the parts, it should be easy to keep it on the road for quite a few more years.

I love my S now, I can't see why I'd feel any different 10 years from now. I don't care what others think.
Will I still own my S2000 5-10 years from now? Only time will tell.
