3,000 Mile Update!

Almost Tactful · 03-13-2008, 06:32 AM

Hey guys been a while, I can't stop driving it lol

so far I've had her for 2 months and 8 days and I'm at 3,000 miles

I haven't had any major troubles except a nail in the tire (bastard) and she's at the dealer today getting an acid wash because I couldn't clay bar the fall out off the paint. But she's great and I'm loving life!!!

DJJSR · 03-13-2008, 06:56 AM

Oil change yet? I just got mine done yesterday with 2900 on the clock. I figure it's cheap insurance.

Almost Tactful · 03-13-2008, 09:09 AM

I asked them to but they refused they said it has a break-in oil that had to stay until 4500 miles.....I figured anytime a dealer refuses a quick buck it's prolly the right thing to do

TheSoundMan21 · 03-13-2008, 09:22 AM

4months 13,000 miles and still rawkin it. Getting another oil change soon.

ps thats not a typo =]

sonic · 03-13-2008, 09:23 AM

Sounds like a good idea to me. Glad your having fun.

TheSoundMan21 · 03-13-2008, 09:43 AM

I put roughly 30,000 miles on a car in a year. Course it takes me about 30mins to get anywhere I want where I live.

nfrs2000 · 03-13-2008, 10:02 AM

Same for me i bought my s in july of 06, with 34k.Now has 97k and havent had a problem with it.

js1 · 03-13-2008, 11:48 AM

Kudos...I live in the bay area and I routinely drive the back road home from work. It's a little 2 lane highway that runs about 6 miles to my house. The views are great, turns are tight, and hardly anyone drives it... It's the best way to end the day. Only 10k in 10 months but I redline it everyday.

Is there any other way to drive? (that's retorical)

js1 · 03-13-2008, 01:02 PM

sonic,
You are right, there is no other way to drive, that's why I got it!!! I do know this guy that bought one and he was unhappy about the rev factor of the car...he was also a bit worried about the engine if you did that all the time but I told him to just relax and put his foot down. He pussed out and got a bmw z4 3.0, his loss!

gomarlins3 · 03-13-2008, 01:54 PM

Glad to hear you like the car.

OMG! Definitly his loss. He spend more money on an inferior car when compared to the S. Wow

TheSoundMan21 · 03-13-2008, 02:57 PM

not really Sonic. The Z4 is quite comparable on the track with the S if I remember correctly. (I am a Bimmer fan as well as Honda) Still I think the S is faster but not by much.

ppat1989 · 03-13-2008, 03:43 PM

i love bimmers too but unless its an M, then the S is a better buy anyday especially for the money

sonic · 03-13-2008, 03:55 PM

I watched a car and driver show where they compared the S, Z4, and a Boxster and the S, for lack of a better word, spanked both of them.

ppat1989 · 03-13-2008, 03:56 PM

welll the only reason anyone ever buys a boxster is because they cant afford a 911 lol

Your talking Top Gear and the Boxter won on the track by about 2tenths of a second. So no the S did not spank them. But it was the best choice.

No that was'nt the video I saw. Did I say it was top gear? If I remember correctly in was car and driver. This was on TV not on the internet. Anyway it's not important S's rule all.

Hmmm, Ive driven both, and have to disagree. The Boxter (ok, it was an "s") was funner, more sporty-fealing. . . I have to admit, the only reason I bought the S2000 instead of the Boxter, was the asshole factor.
As for the bimmers, I'm sure they're all-right, they're just so ugly.

ppat1989 · 03-14-2008, 12:31 AM

z4 looks better than a boxter any day

naw you didnt say Top Gear I just remember seeing the vid and thinking that was it. Top Gear is mainly a tv show that people upload to the net. I would like to see the car and driver vid that would be cool. Keep in mind though now thats 2 different sources that set the S2000 on top.

And yes the Z4 looks better than the boxter.
