Sitting at the job, doing nothing, and was wondering how little I get to drive the S2000. My garage holds a 2001 S2000 that was purchased in March of '01. It just recently clicked 10k. Today is too cold, and it might rain, so I didn't drive it. How often do people drive their car? Is it a daily driver to many H-T people? Just wondering. Being in the snow I don't drive the car in the winter, and I've probably put 500 miles this year so far, if that.

 

I live in Texas which = year round convertible weather (almost) so my S sees a lot of road time. It's not my daily driver that is a 97 nissan pickup, but I still put the miles on the S. I'll probably put 15000 on it this year

 

I daily drive mine every day to work. I rack up the miles pretty quick.

 

Texas, Denver, MD... I can see how TX would rack up mileage rather quickly, but Denver and MD..... what do you guys do in adverse weather conditions... Taking a look outside my window, I see sunlight, but trees bending like crazy... Too windy for top down driving...
Do you guys drive with the top up all the time? I hate driving top up. My friend posted an ITR this morning, and I always wondered how that would be. Of course, he's ordered an S2000 so I guess in my case it would be a step backwards.
I think I have too much time on my hands.. Too much uncessary thinking.

 

Ic. So would you consider driving the S2000 as a daily driver? Do you have a hardtop/winter tires? (I'm guessing yes on the winter tires).
I have a 1993 Civic as well right now, but rather than keeping 2 cars, a part of me is leaning towards unloading the Civic, and dumping that into my monthly payments would really help. I just want to rationalize keeping it.
Too much thinking today.. When's happy hour

 

Once a month when I go to the dealer and test drive one.....Hahah

 

whenever the weather is nice, which means its not raining and is 40+ F. i also dont drive it if i just washed it the day before and there is a lot of pollen in the air.

my accord is my daily driver.

 

Yea, in the winter you just slow down and switch out the SO2's for something else. The rest of the year is no problem.

 

I try to drive mine about once or twice a week if I can (only on weekends really)..I just drive my Civic daily..

 

right now i have 35k miles on my car and i drive it daily....(it is really scary in the snow though....)

 

I've owned mine new since Nov 2003. I just put 17777 miles on it.

 

Talk about low mileage. Get more out of your car!

or the assembly line is REALLY long

Although It's my only car, I still only drive it on the weekends. I don't live to far from my work so I just put the miles on myself and walk.

lol.. I caught it also.. I was like wow, Nov. 2003 is 6 months from now..

 

It was a daily driver for me, but it's my wifes daily driver now. I drive it all the time. Even when it iced here in Dallas this past february. Dang that was scary, until I got in an empty parking lot, then it was all kinds of fun.
Yes, I abuse my cars, but after I abuse them I just give them that much more love to make up for it.

 

Mine is a daily driver. I had it for 2.5 months and have put on 4600km

 

My friend bought it and does not drive his baby a lot. Even go to school, he rather take bus.
