coolant is every 10 years. If it's never been done, I'd do it.
What about those 13 year old rubber brake lines ............ yea, rubber.
Jerry, take the drive to Long Island and have Billman do your car.

If I keep the car as it approaches 100k, then I think a trip to Billman would be a good idea.
As it turned out, I was very happy that an S2000 owner was the tech who worked it. Work included new brake fluid, new rear diff fluid, a/c service, new air cleaner, new cabin air filter. He came out when I picked up the car and introduced himself. His name is A.J. and SN on the Del Val forum is AJvalente or something like that??

He'll have the car most of the day and do a full service for the 90,000 mile deal; plus anything else that he recommends
We're staying with friends an hour away in Port Jefferson and renting a car for 24 hours...so that we can do some tourist bits on outermost Long Island.....neither of us have ever been before! Then we leave on Wednesday and head northwest towards Ithaca NY, with an overnight stop in Wilkes Barre, PA to visit Kathy's only remaining relative from the Greatest Generation; Aunt Helen in her mid-90's, feisty and still lives by herself in a pretty large house. Back into NY on Thursday am and taking country 2 lane roads to my 50th reunion at Cornell; will be there for 4 nights and re-connecting with others from my architecture u/g class from as far as VA and OR

Good ideas, Joe, and taking notes for the next time. I only drive about 5k per year lately and only infrequently at full bore
