Who is still on their original clutch?

Just wondering if anyone else is still on their stock clutch? I am about to pass up 134,000 miles and I'm still on the original clutch! No signs of slippage. For those of you wondering, I bought the car new with ~40 miles on it in 2003 (Evo 8). My mileage is 60% city, 40% highway + a couple of track days. Who says the stock clutch doesn't last 
The clutch life depends on many many factors:
How you drive it
How you rev it
How you shift(hard/ soft)
How often you shift
There are clutches that lasted 1800 miles and even less. For the most part it looks like you are taking care of your car and the way you drive it.

62k still on the clutch it drove off the lot with in 04. I launched car maybe once/twice in '07 when I was testing out the stationary rev limiter and that's about it. DD and light track duty.
Going to get it inspected at ER at some point this year.

Your history is good but it leaves a lot of gaps and questions. How do you know that the person that owned before you didn't put a brand new clutch?

I am at 71k, bought it about 2 months ago, only put about 2.5k miles on it and last month the clutch seems to be slipping every once in a while 
..it's very strange. I would assume it's the stock clutch since it is in need of some pricey maintenance - timing belt (and other supporting parts to be safe) & brakes. I had all the driveline fluids changed over since I didn't know the car's prior history.
BTW..the car is completely stock! This is why I am surprised by the slipping....but then again it's all reliant on how it was driven...
.
I am looking at getting an Exedy Street Clutch as soon as I can afford it, after the timing belt/60k service (I think tq capacity is around 450lb...I simply cannot afford a twin disk), this clutch any good? I figured I'd pick up a SS clutch line & brake lines while I get all this work done, people find either of these worth it? Does the brand matter or SS=SS? lol
134k...I can only imagine! haha
