Daily driven Evos

How many of you guys have daily driven Evos? And of those that do drive them daily, how many miles do you put on it per day?

I really want to get an Evo but my current commute is around 70 miles a day...I put on about 2000 miles a month. Don't know if I want to put that many miles on an Evo

hahah I hear ya but the thing is that for me it isn't gonna be just a car...I'm a recent college grad who isn't making great money. This thing is gonna be a sizeable investment and I don't want it to get trashed by the daily commute...maybe I'm just too ****...

I currently drive a 2003 Civic Si and when I started working this job I was ticked off at all the miles I was putting on the car. I slowly came to terms with it, but wondering if I'm gonna have the same issues again, if I get emotionally attached to the Evo

BTW, I had searched for this question, but the older posts did not discuss how many miles daily commutes were.
