11 months and 22k..
a car is meant to be driven man. get a beater if your scared about racking miles up on the evo.
vtech8r (luis) has 2k on his and he had his longer than me.. why? he has another car,
the evo is just like any other sedan.
only problem with miles is retail value. most dont plan on selling car anytime soon. so it doesnt matter.
good luck on your decision

13k a year on my daily driver. Whom ever thinks it cant be a functional daily driver needs to own one. I love every minute I am in my Evo and whenever I drive my beater I mis it so bad that I usually end up not driving it and get back into my Evo the next day.
just by the damn car.. for the love of god..!!

Had mine since late November, have put around 4,000 miles on it myself. But when I don't take road trips to Houston (accounting for roughly 1,000 of those miles) I'd say I drive an average of 50 miles a day.
50+ miles daily to work/back then weekends....17K miles so far since april 04....My little girl love to ride in the evo...
Dont know if its cuz of the color or the ride, but she loves it anyways.

drive to work = 50 miles
drive back home = 50 miles
gas is about $50 a week..
bought the car in FL with 780 miles last Oct 2 2003
Presently I have put 10,190 miles (Feb 11 2005)
Just loving every second of it...

you bet...Stage 1 + equivalent...(Vishnu)
291whp on DynoDynamics, should be close to 340whp on Dynojet...(maybe getting dynojet numbers this weekend)
56 miles a day round trip 5 days a week. MPG 20-21. Mods turbo back exhaust, Greddy Types S BOV VTA, HKS RS Intake, HKS EIDS. Could use better tires for the snow I just have some cheap all seasons now. Only problem I have noticed is if I am above 5 or 5.5k I get the normal grind/rub sound going into 5th. I know the dealer would fix it I just don't think it is bad enough plus I have heard it can come back anyways. Plus it isn't that often I am tacked up that far going into 5th anyway. Other than that I love it. It is great has a daily driver.
