2007 Honda S2000 - POV Night Drive

[@RelentlessCo]

My dream

[@javianjohnson8746]

This is such a chill night POV 🙏🏾

[@MikeDrives]

Thanks man!

[@GearheadExplorer85]

That's a pretty cool gauge cluster. It reminds me of the ones on the 80s corvettes

[@MikeDrives]

Yeah it kinda does!

[@HondaS-fk1mi]

Damn man this is my dream car. I'm really hoping i can get this car within the next few years, hey mike is this car expensive to maintain and insure?

[@MikeDrives]

I don't have personal experience with owning a Honda S2000. The one in this video isn't mine unfortunately. I'll give you my personal thoughts and what I've gathered about the car over the years. I think that insurance will vary depending on your age, location, driving history. So if you're a young guy, then it may be on the higher spectrum. As far as expensive to maintain, that's going to depend on the condition of the car (mileage, how well previous owner cared for it). There are some owners who have had only to do routine maintenance (fluids, brake pads, tires) so maintenance shouldn't be that bad. Again, it may vary on what the owner does with their S2000, and I'm assuming if it's track the wear and tear will make you spend more. Also, you have to consider that the S2000 is getting up there in age and is over 20 years old, so parts may need to be replaced. I wish you the best of luck man. The Honda S2000 is such a fantastic machine. You could probably get better answers on the Honda S2000 forums. There's so much documentation on there that would make your head explode. When you get it, post a video about it because I want to check it out!

@@MikeDrives unfortunately I won't be able to make a video on it, due to lack of video equipment lol, but thanks for the info man, i appreciate it

[@mangoshake]

Now this is ASMR.

[@They_drew_first_blood]

Love this video! I'm about to take mine out on the backroads of GA. 😁

[@MikeDrives]

Nice!!!!!

[@They_drew_first_blood]

I need to record my driving at night. I sleep during the day, so I'm awake at night. All my driving is done under the cover of darkness! Lol.

[@BenM]

Picture fits.

[@henryi9738]

That's a classic car ! Nice drive too ! thanks

[@MikeDrives]

Thank you Henry!

[@Chicagocubs21]

I just saw one exactly alike for 8,000 with 50k miles. Should I buy it?

[@MikeDrives]

That's a very low price for a S2000 with that mileage. It could be a savaged title one. Just proceed with caution.

[@WockMonkey]

May want to blur the speedometer reading in some spots to avoid friction with the law 😂😂🤣🤣

[@trevor852]

This is gonna be me in 1 year after I finish saving up 💪

[@MikeDrives]

Dope!! Are you looking to get the AP1 or AP2?

[@trevor852]

Mike Drives AP2 for sure. The hardest part is deciding on the color I want

[@davidmartinez-gj8ek]

I own a 01’ ap1 and it’s ap1 all day ftw!!!!!!!

[@trevor852]

Finally got it! 2004 Rio Yellow with 32k miles! Loving the car so far.

[@catsaur]

@@trevor852 nice! Saved up faster then. Keep it with you forever, they’ll never make it like this again.

[@vallasjo8003]

I love my S2K & FK8

[@They_drew_first_blood]

Are there any back country roads where you live? I just got back from the Georgia county twisty roads. I need to get a camera.

[@MikeDrives]

I'm actually 20 minutes away from the Angeles Crest Highway. I'm in Los Angeles so there are a lot of choices.

[@crashyyy4116]

I found a 2007 S2000 at a dealership in formula red with 29,500 miles on the clock. They're asking maybe 5k over what it's worth, but I am seriously contemplating pulling the trigger.

[@MikeDrives]

That's crazy low miles. I'm not surprised a dealership is asking that much over. I think the Honda S2000 will maintain it's value quite well granted if it wasn't abused and taken care of. As time passes, it will become harder to find decent condition Honda S2000s. And there will be less and less when the years go by. Ultimately, if you're in good financial standing, then go for it man! Also, check out the Honda S2000 forums for used S2ks. Good luck man!

[@jcygts6]

My dream car

[@6mtzhp55]

I have a twin LBP S2000, I almost prefer driving it at night - or at least when the sun isn't beating down. Tends to be less traffic too.

[@MikeDrives]

Niceee 👍

[@arthurroque6805]

Have had mine since 12-11-02, 2002 Blue ❤️

[@calebwitt1255]

haha exactly what i do with my AP1. try going 2 or 3 A.M.. less traffic=more fun. being in the back woods of VA you get the full effect. not too far off the beaten path for endless highways but far off enough to go out for 4 hours and see maybe 2 cops. best investment ive ever made.

[@MikeDrives]

No need for therapy. Just drive the Honda S2000!

[@starbai410]

Canto Mike is it really that good? Thinking bout getting one but they're expensive. Is it really worth it?

[@MikeDrives]

@@starbai410 Honda S2000s are still good sports cars because there's nothing like the S2k on the market today (serious sports car with X-bone frame, unique engine that can rev to the moon, reliable, timeless looks). Yeah I agree, the prices are starting to creep up and it's difficult to spend that kind of money on a car that's over a decade old. Last time I checked if you wanted a AP2 with low mileage, it's above 20k. Yes, there's the MX-5 and BRZ/86 cars but the Honda S2000 will most likely maintain it's value much better. Ultimately, if the Honda S2000 makes you happy and smile every time you drive it, then it's worth it.

[@davidmartinez-gj8ek]

East la ayyyyyyy !!!!!

[@clamchance2404]

Nice POV 👍

[@sergio565]

why redline is at 8000 rpms?

[@_Mc373_]

Because this 2007 model and 2.2l 8000 rpm for the engine life 2.0l 8500rpm

[@adbce4175]

What is your exhaust pipe?

[@MikeDrives]

It's stock

[@vivas202]

Can u share the gopro video setup? It looks so nice

[@MikeDrives]

Thanks man! In this video, I'm using the GoPro Hero 6 with your typical head mount.

[@vivas202]

Mike Drives and the video settings? Are u using the low light mode?

[@MikeDrives]

@@vivas202 Since I was shooting at night, I had to change the shutter, iso, and white balance settings to accommodate for the low light.

[@vivas202]

@@MikeDrives thank you. Im starting to use my GoPro (4 silver) to shoot some night drives and im still trying various settings to achieve a good quality video

[@MikeDrives]

Yeah, night time can be tricky. It takes some trial and error with those night settings.

[@pixelatednate4864]

Looks and sounds beautiful!
