Well, after a long while lurking around, I have decided to register.

I bought my S2000 new on Sep 29, 1999. I don't drive it much, in fact, I just recently replaced my rear tires (with S-03's).

The car is silver/ black and all stock. Current mileage is 19,880. It is a USDM model.

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 07-10-2007, 05:12 PM

Welcome glad you joined

mbc · 07-10-2007, 05:17 PM

Thank you. I am becoming quite familiar with the search feature here.

gomarlins3 · 07-10-2007, 06:13 PM

Welcome. You have a keeper there with such low miles. I would guess you also have a low build number.

Java Junky · 07-10-2007, 06:26 PM

'99 n' you're only joinin' the fray now mb?
A rather cautious bloke eh?
Welcome aboard.
We godda work on ya to gedditt oud'a the garage more often.
Be well.

gomarlins3, I will surely be keeping this car for a while. #0004XX- 6/99.

Java Junky, You're right, I don't have much time to myself these days. The car sits in storage under a cover waiting...and waiting.

I will post pics when I get a chance to.

mbc.

gomarlins3 · 07-10-2007, 09:16 PM

In the 400's!!! That's very cool!!!

mbc · 07-10-2007, 09:31 PM

Here is a recent pic.

gomarlins3 · 07-10-2007, 10:06 PM

Looking good.

mbc · 07-10-2007, 10:21 PM

Thanks, If you look carefully, you can see my old Accord. I kept that car forever...all the way to 500,122 miles. It had been in the family since new. Here is a link to a poor quality video of the event.

YouTube - Honda Accord 500,000 miles!

I know that this is a S2000 website, but at least it's a Honda. Here's it's story.

Honda and Acura High Mileage Stories

I figure that after 20 years worth of driving on the S2k, it will have about 55,000 mi.

batguano · 07-11-2007, 02:02 AM

Very fine ride.

Java Junky · 07-11-2007, 04:58 AM

Ya know mb . . considerin' the fine shape it's in n' it's low build number . . maybe it should stay mostly in the garage . . while you go out n' play in a more common Stewie.
N' 500 thou on the elder Honda? Wow!
Hmmmm-m-m-m-m . . . . at it's current rate'a use, your hanger-queen '99's gonna see that mileage when we all got calendars on our walls whut say 2207.
Be well.

mbc · 07-11-2007, 01:49 PM

Ya, the garage is its home.

I stay on top of the maintenance and drive it for about 40 miles every 2-3 weeks. The undercarriage is still clean because it's a fair weather car.

S2000dude · 07-12-2007, 07:18 PM

Glad your lurking days are over MBC !

Welcome and nice looking "classic" you have there !

mbc · 07-12-2007, 09:08 PM

I am trying to time it that on the 8th year anniversary of ownership, it crosses over to 20,000 miles.

Current mileage: 19,902

mbc · 06-19-2008, 01:41 AM

An update.

This month marks the 9th year of my car's existance (6/99). So I drove it around for a while and put over 100 miles on it!

Since the above pic was taken (last July) my car and I have traveled a mere 700 miles.

Current mileage is 20,432. Fresh fliuds as always...

Sheesh, 9 years already?

desmo4 · 06-19-2008, 04:03 AM

I got mine in Oct 99 and it's got 100113 on it and thousand of $ of Mugen parts. It's way better than it was in Oct. 99.

Java, keep one thing in mind...

LOL

But joking aside mb, get out and drive that thing. Don't make me come up there and drive it for you!!

Nothing wrong with letting her sit, just knowing she's there when you need her. I've got one vehicle that I've only driven 2500 miles in 9 years.
