Default Year and miles

Ok Vintage, let's learn something about our driving habits. What year is your S2000, how long have you owned it, and how many miles do you have on it. Please also do the math and report your average yearly miles.

If you bought it used, please also report how many miles you have put on it since ownership.

If you don't have an S anymore, see if you can do it from memory.

If you can't do it from memory, tell us whatever you want about yourself. I don't want anyone to feel left out.

'04 purchased new in '04. 66K miles on it. It's never been a daily driver.

In the beginning we really racked up the mileage 12K, 11K for the first few years. Now we average about 6K/year.

-Purchased 14Feb09 with 2,364 miles
-Average about 3.5k per year (14,125 miles as of yesterday)

With a 6 & 8 y/o, it's hard to daily drive it.

Bought it new in 02. It has 53k on it. last year I put 2000 miles on it. It's seen rain once since I've had it. Tops been down with the boot on for over a year.

It only goes out to play and it plays well.

'00 bought used in 2003 with 4807 miles. Currently has 56,976 miles so according to my ciphering (Jethro Bodine takesfrom and goesintos) that works out to 52,169 miles and 5797 miles/year.

What can I say? My commute is 9 miles one way and we haven't taken the S on vacation or to a meet or in years.

I bought my 03 new in June of 03 she came with 11 miles on her. Currently has 48,700 miles. From 03-06 I put the most miles on I commuted with it occasionally in 05-06 and put about 8-10k a year on in those two years other years were in the 4-5k mile range. I have put 1k miles on so far this season and will be taking it on a trip this weekend and covering a total of about 500 miles in one shot and then she will be resting again and I will be switching out to my Ferrari.
