sure i'll get him to post pics of odometer. In case you're wondering, a lot of people live far far away from work due to housing costs, thus the high mileage.

I drive about 60 miles to and from work to home and after work i'll probably drive 50 miles a night.
that's 110 miles a day and man, don't even ask about the weekends.
last weekend, I've ran 400 miles.
sweet. this car is just too additive.

I used to commute from Reading, PA to Philadelphia everyday 5 to 6 days a week for work alone and that was about 76 miles 1-way so it is possible to do that many miles that much. I had put over 60k miles in 1 year just from work and car gatherings and vacations.

22K here.
Stock clutch, stock tires on Kosei wheels, although I had another set of wheels with all seasons for about 5K miles last winter.
Clutch seems to chatter more when cold, but hopefully it will last a bit longer so I can replace with an ACT.
I have the intermittent misfire or fuel cut or whatever at ~4500 rpm, but not too bad. I also get the throttle hang intermittently. I have a shimmy ever since I mounted the tires on the new wheels, so either need a balance or new tires.
Love the car, looking to get a 3" catback and some sort of ECU flash along with the aforementioned clutch (and maybe flywheel) to get me to the next plateau.
Take care,

My EVO's got 28,900 on it. I'm knocking on the door to the 30k club! lol
Stock tires lasted 15,500 for me. I'm still on the stock clutch. Front brake pads were replaced a long time ago, but the rears are still the original brembo pads. I do hear a lot of noise coming from the rear, so I think it's time for some new pads back there.
