I bought my 2000 S last May and have already put 8,000 miles on it. I originally planned to put it away over the winter, but I just... can't. I go a week without driving it and I get all twitchy.

No real problems with it, though. I replaced the summer tires, then bought all-seasons for the winter (so now I'm going to have to spring for another set of wheels), and did an oil change.

Once in awhile - though not always - after I've driven it I smell hot oil. It doesn't drip oil, and my oil level has not dropped significantly since I did the oil change in May. The engine temp runs normal. But one of these days I'll have to figure out how to access the engine from above and see if I can figure out where that smell is coming from.

I love this car. I love driving it. I even love waxing it. Just looking at it makes my heart go pitter-patter.
