Is your S2k your daily driver?

[Xeroki41]

Searched the forum and couldn't find a post. Got to wondering at work today so I figured I'd ask. Is your S2k your daily driver? Let us know if it is or not.

Mine is. I cant afford another car right now for it not to be. It never gets more than about 13 miles a day though so thats not too bad. I do on the otherhand use my wifes brand new Lancer GTS often, just to save my baby the miles.

[MutantCheese]

I own 5 vehicles, but the S is my DD.

[D1sclaimer]

My s2000 used to be for a year and a half. Started at 33k and ended(as my DD) at about 54k. Now that I'm paid off and started to put more fun stuff on, I bought a beater.

[CA Blue]

It was my DD until I moved to Los Angeles a couple of years ago and could never get out of third gear on the freeways.

[pakman08]

mine is my DD i got it about 9 months ago at 17k on the clock so far i got 36k on it(i drive wayyyy too much)...once its fully paid off by the end of next year i hope to get another car as a DD...

[s2000isu]

I dont drive mine much anymore although last year I did put 4k on it.

[zpeed]

I drive my everyday unless I have to pick up my kids. I even track my just HPDE.

[jake2k]

Mine is a DD but the hospital that i wok at is only about a mile and a half from where i live and most of the time my friends pick me up to work out or so i don't add too many miles lol

[J'sS2K]

I swear I don't know why people keep asking about the S2000 as a daily driver. It's so cheap now. You can get one for around $20,000. A freaking Prius costs more than it. Needless to say, it's not a Limbo or Farrari.

Check thread "Daily Driver?" also.
Put between 12 to 15 thou'a year on Stewie'n'itt jus' keepz comin' back fer more.
Itt'z preddy bulletproof, budd'itt'z definitely not idiot-proof.

[JDMHonda]

Mine is until i pay it off. then ill get an ap1 as a beater

[Jim21680]

Yep, my daily driver...and I drive summer tires in sub-freezing temperatures, even though the Tire Rack says I shouldn't

Agreed - idiot proof it is not!

[ZigZag]

Mine is a daily driver if the top will come down. It goes to bed for six months on Oct. 31 and comes back out to play May 1. My Civic covers for it in the off months.

[Honda007]

Mine is my DD. Snow, Rain, and Sun.

[zpeed]

I got 2 set of wheels, All season and Slick.

[ryan32ross]

The S is a great DD!!!! VTec Twice a day keeps my hair from turning gray!!!

[Old Guy]

Stewie is my DD during the summer and sunny days in the winter. She's an '02 I bought 13 months ago with only 26K miles and I've put just 10K in the the time I've had her.

[Red Fun for 2]

My stewie is not my daily driver, to work, however after a day at the office, I am out with the top down. So in that since I drive her daily. The good part is that I live near a buch of nice roads with lots of twisties. I do take her to work now and again on a very nice route with plenty of twisties.

[ol rich]

Don't have to work no mo' so don't need a DD. Use it when I want to usually in top down w/x- but am at point where I can drive it when and where I want- as the other vehicles. don't expect to put more than 5-6K a year on it so when/if I sell it it'll be a low milage '04 ( and NO, buzz, I don't want to take $500 for it right now)

[phins2rt]

Mine's my DD in the summer but, sadly, the kids have returned to school and I can't fit all of them in the S to take them!

[TheSoundMan21]

Mine is my daily and I threw down 33k last year. Bought it almost 2 years ago at 40k and now she has 97k.

[Dr. Jimbo]

DD unless I'm riding my Kona mountain bike to work.

[Xeroki41]

Its cool to know so many others have it as their DD. And to answer about the search, I searched Daily Driver and nothin came up.

Also wanted to point out, even if their cheap, their still hard to find compaired to civics, mustangs, cameros, etc so its like a Ferrari to me! I dont know of another owned in NE and the dealers told me that from what they know, only 25 have sold in NE and some of those were from out of state buyers (no idea why).

[philiam]

Probably got a great price during the NE winter.

[nico]

yeah mine is my daily driver about 32 miles round trip to work every day gotta feel that v-tech

[s2kx2]

1995 Civic EX coupe with 385,361 .... and still going strong!

[Xeroki41]

It was a cheap price cause of NE heh. Actually got my S2k in Chicago though (fun flight let me tell ya, crying babies, fat men on either side, people who don't know how to bathe. And we wonder why people never fly). Once I got there, I found it to be in mint condition, had only a slight dent on the inside of the door from a buckle being slamed in it. It had 34k miles (its a 2004). Payed 17,900 for it all said and dont with the flight, hotels, gas, and food (wife came too, she can bathe :P). I thought it was a pretty fair price considering the local dealers wanted me to buy a 2002 for 18,200 and a 2005 for 21,400. Its highway robbery at that price.

[Scooter]

Every day, 25mi each way, then I have some fun runs on the weekends. Actually I squeek in a few fun events most days as traffic permits...

[lonestarbuzz]

my daily as well. weather always permits. once it iced last year (remember that one DFW folks?). i didn't go anywhere that day in my car.

[RealJoKeR]

ITS MY DD AS WELL.....& I LOVE EVERY 22MI. OF IT!!!! LONG LIVE F22C!!!

Man I am in OK. and I had to drive like 3 miles on nothing but solid black ice in my S. Talk about your freaky driving experiences.

[redroger05]

DD for sure. 25mi each way. Mostly freeway, but I pull of the occaisional 'alternate route' in the wine country
After years of driving a practical car, I figure I'm due some fun. Besides, I couldn't imagine 50 miles daily in a beater (not pickin on folks with finance issues).
Do other DD get pretty good gas mileage... 2 years and I probably average 26+ mpg.

[Vezna31]

Stewie was my DD for 7 years and 145k miles before I bought a beater 6 weeks ago. In those 6 weeks, the beater has had over 4k miles put on it.

[Triweasel]

my commuter is a bike, but if i have to go somewhere farther (or faster) it's my first choice.

[Java Junky]

'S'funny weaz, my DD commuter wuzz my bike. All year long'z long'z there wuzz no snow on'a groun'.
Age, wisdom'r . . more'n likely'a growin' overabundance'a wussiness had me start usin' 4 wheelerz (carz) in'a winterz.
After bikin' in'a winterz, droppin' Stewie'z topp in'a cold'z downright lux@&#^in'urious!
But, while Stewie'z now my daily driver, iff'itt'z absolutely, positively godda gett'dere ASAP . . nothin' short'a Cap'n Kirk'z transporter beam'z gonna ge'cha'dere quicker'n'da bike.
When everythin'z oh, so sweet'n jus' clickz . . . sometimez yuh could swear'a'cha got'ta where yer goin' before yuh left where yuh were.l

[Daddy Zach]

DD no way!
If so what would I do for stress relief?
Use the old mini van daily and to lug kids, dogs etc.

Stewie is one of the few places I can have some space to myself

[Java Junky]

Zach, widd'all due respect'ta your most serious winterz ('z'oppozed'ta our mostly mamby-pamby wannabeez) . . weather permittin' . . . . maybe iff'yuh did DD Stewie . . . yuh wouldn't be in need'a quite so much stress relief.
Maybe, y'know?

[toyrunner]

DD, No Way ! I have a Year old Tacoma Truck just for that Duty ! I have not even put 100 miles on it yet. Its a Garage Queen.

[flyingarmadillo]

Depends on what my daily drive is and the weather. The S doesn't go to jobsites or get driven much in the rain. But since the truck only gets 16mpg (on premium) the S gets as many miles as it can.
