Why do EVO owners keep their cars with such low mileage?
wheres the control x button.
I got the Evo brand new in March 2007 with 7 miles on it and now it currently has 9266 miles. I've always had a second car to drive, but since I've sold my S2000, I've been driving the Evo more. It still has the new car smell. 
I like to baby new cars and keep them as new as possible, but when it comes to used cars, I don't care as much lol. I got the S2000 used and that was my beater for 3 years. I might need to find a new beater if I want to keep the Evo pristine. But the more I drive it, the less I care about keeping it mint lol.
Even though I don't drive the Evo that much, I still enjoy the car, and the best part is that when I do drive it, it feels like a new car since I hardly drive it. Everyone enjoys their cars differently, and I'm happy with the way I enjoy mine, and that is what's most important.

I thought I'd share this interesting little story...
Today, I pick up my friend and we're heading to lunch. He drives a new 5.0 mustang and our other friend has an 08' Z06. My friend complains the entire time about how bumpy and bouncy the ride is in my car. I have a COMPLETELY STOCK 06' MR. I'm like asking him, are you serious? I never really felt like my car was that bouncy or rode crappy. All the shocks are good, I just had them checked. It rides fine. It rides better than fine, it's a freakin EVO and it handles like it's on rails. But, he complains of it being too rough, too stiff, too loud, etc. He even goes as far as to say that our friends Z06 rides better which I highly doubt. But damn him, now he's got me questioning how awesome my car is. Have any of you guys had similar experiences?

find new friends 
I have an idea for a hidden yet accessible wideband gage as well when I get that. Got the idea for the boost gage here though (wish I could claim that one
)I like to keep things looking pretty stock at a glance.

After a tune I doubt my peak goes above the 25-27 range. I am only looking for 300-350 whp after I am done.
Outside the car will have nothing more than the VG, a front lip, and maybe a rear diffuser.
My IX (purchased new in 06) has ~17K on it, 90% fun miles. I have no real commute, everywhere I need to go is very close, and this isn't my only car. I bought the SE to keep and plan on enjoying my Evolution 'till I die.
im the original owner of my 2005 EB evo 8, and im currently at 44,XXX miles. more then likely i'll hit 45 thou by next month or less, car gets driven only on the weekends and thats if i dont take the other play car out or i just say the hell with it and drive the beater around.
reason i dont drive her as much as i used to, is because i like keeping the mileage down on her due to value, and i have alot invested in her exterior,motor, and interiorwise and id hate to see something happen. the only reason i think something will happen is i did have her keyed a few months back and i was steaming. to each is own though, if you wanna drive the crap out of her or you just want to have her safe in the garage and drive just on the weekends or every so often then do so. Just do what makes you happy.
im gonna continue garaging mine, keeping the miles low, and just taking her out on the weekends.

I bought my Evo X last month in May brand new. Im using the Evo X as my daily driver right now. But I am thinking about the winter time when it snows. I dont need salt from a plow truck damaging my paint. I do have another vehicle that needs alot of TLC to get back in running shape. Im gonna sell it and hopefully get some more cash together, so I can get a beater vehicle for the winter time. Im not afraid to put miles on the Evo.....just dont need the winter time damaging my paint.
