Question Who has the most mileage??

Who has the most mileage on their Evo 8? I have 19,100. The thing is looking pretty beat to be honest. Scratches, chips, and dings from the highway and dirt roads. The LF fender has a dent where someone merged right on onto me. Hey, oh well, its just a car.

Dood, you're crazy. WTF are you waiting for??!? Just take the Advans off, hang onto them to put back on in the summer. I've driven the car in snow with BRAND NEW advans and it was DEATH!

God help you if you get caught even in a dusting of snow with those tires... seriously Blain.

Picked up mine in early march, now have around 18,300 miles on it. All I can say is thank you StoneGaurd for saving the front of my car from hellish damage, put it on the car at like 200 miles. Clutch is good (knock on wood) but still, I'm collecting for my clutch fund. Have had to replace the rear No3 LJ joint due to the seal being blown out seem to be the only one on the forums that has run in to this problem. My second gear engagement really is not good at this point either.

6200 stock clutch. Clutch feels fine.

no drag racing.

Just got a car for the winter 95 Chevy APV minivan with 155K. (Free) I think I'm good for at least another 50K on that car.

I have 19,500 miles on it right now. Still with the original clutch.

I'll be driving it, and all of my life to CA next Month after driving up and down the east coast for the holidays....I expect to have 24k miles on it by Jan 04.

I've got 579 miles as of last night! WOO WOO!

No, but that's an average of 57.9 miles a day, so not too shabby.
This car is just too fun to drive!
