well i will be the first to say that i do worry about mileage and i try to drive her as little as possible. it seems to me that cars stay nicer longer if you drive them less.

I'm definetly down with anyone that's all about driving! 30,000+g's is alot of dough to drop on a bad *** car that just sits there collecting bird ****, unless you garage it of course. But the car is made do be driven, hard as a matter of fact, so that's what I do!

I got my MR beginning of May. It now has 9700 miles on it with mods. Absolutely ZERO problems (except for the fuel bump which I've affectionately named The Banshee). Time for another, less annoying, Walbro.

I bought my car in January '05 and I have 6600 miles on it. I took a couple of longer trips when I first got it but now I drive my truck around town and just drive the car when I need my "fix". It kind of sucks to worry about door dings and where you park and stuff like that, sometimes I don't really want to deal with it.

I'm in the middle. If you worry about it too much and let it sit then what's the point of having it? I remember reading an article in the car magazine about a dude who bought a Ferrari F40 and it sits right in the middle of his living room. What the heck?

I have an 03 .. exactly 2 years this month and I've put 15K miles on it. The only reason is because I have several other vehicles, an economy car, a 4x4 Tundra, and couple of motorcycles to share my miles with. If the Evo was my sole transportation vehicle I would have 50K on it right now. Drive it! Enjoy it!

Bought my Evo 9 months ago with 1100 miles on it, drive the sob everyday, it's a trip **** what can i say. it now has 25000 miles on it and they've all been fun times, from the first powerslide to the time i put the thing on three wheels! People who worry about mileage are people who have too much time on their hands! drive your evo like you stole it, you didn't pay 30 bills for nothing, not to mention your insurance payment every month, those mooncrickets!

picked up my 03 monday after xmas of 04 w/ 29k. the pervious owner traded it in cause it had too many miles on it! just yesterday i broke 36k and its my daily driver. sometimes i wish i had a 2nd car to drive everywhere, but then i remember my Porsche sitting in the garage burning up insurance money and thats why i sold it for the Evo. i am really back and forth on the issue most days. right now i am wishing i had an MR in the garage and had my GSR as my dd! *L*

i live in a meth hole fishing town. i drive to get away, wait its 110 miles to any sign of normal civilization.

and with countless trips to mt. hood...miles are the least of my worries. i just fret about gas prices.

well i dont drive an evo, but my car was bought @ 65,000 miles for a 97(last september). that is very low mileage for a 7 year old car, and i hesitate to put miles on it, but then again i think to myself i dont really care, the value of my car isnt much(97 talon tsi awd) either way, so 70,000 miles or 120,000 miles wouldnt make a huge difference. so if i feel like riding the only thing i worry about is my ****ty gas mileage.
