I have an 05 that just turned 13k its sits . Like most have said the ones with low miles are not their daily drivers. I have people ask me all the time why im not driving it. Rides like crap and the quatermaster is a pain in stop and go trafic. Now its at AMS putting more money into something i dont drive.

 

I just rolled to 39k on my '03. I'm dreading to see the odometer hit the 40's! I try and not drive it as much as I can but its so damn fun to drive its hard.

 

Bought mine with 33k on the clock. It has 65k 2 years later. It was my daily but not anyomore after this round of mods.

My wife just picked up a 08 STi with barely 9k on the clock.

Not driving your car everyday makes you appreciate it more and it also gives you something to look forward too on the weekends and you are less apt to mod it.

Everyday wear and tear sucks. i drove my brand new Integra Type R everyday and vowed to never do it again with my fun car.

 

I have an 05 with 43k had 36k when I bought it in Nov. 09. As most people have stated, it's not my only car. So I don't drive it all the time, mostly nights and weekends. I perfer to keep the milage low because I plan on keeping it for a long time and it keeps it in better shape, thus I store it in the winter. Plus if I ever do have to sell it, then it'll be worth more too.

 

I believe the consensous is the grind is different for everyone... I mean you have "garage queens" and folks that beat the **** out of their Evo's so they can't keep them on the street. Cat's that have other DD's and military folk who disappear a year at a time. People that live across the street from thier jobs and jokers who have 100+ mile a day commutes. It just is what it is. Me personally I didn't buy my Evo to NOT drive the hell out of it, and so I will continue to fix whatever I break, keep up with basic maintenance, upgrade and modify when I can and drive my car. Even with another car to drive (that I also plan to keep forever) my 03 VIII has 73K on the ODO and still feels as good as the day I drove it off the lot... NOOOO, Actually Way Better Now!!!

 

I bought an 05 evo 8 last year with 69k miles. After five grand in mods it has 73K miles currently. When it gets tuned I am going to drive it a lot more often.

 

My evo stays on jack stands, 2 headgaskets and counting.

 

Funny I'm backwards. I have another car that's supposed to be my DD but I drive the Evo more often it seems unless its layed up for one reason or another.

Hell during the winter my so called DD had a 4 ft snow pile behind it for weeks at a time

 

I wish I was fortunate enough to have another car to daily. I guess when people drive a crappy beater to work 5 days a week, once friday night rolls around and they sit in the evo the feeling of joy and excitement is multiplied because they dont drive it often.

 

my 03 , has 102k and counting. Figured if it breaks down swap is not too expensive

 

more miles means more stuff goes wrong

 

Got a 05 with 33000 miles with it now, bought it last Nov. with 26000 miles. I drove a 93 5.0
Mustang for a DD. But I make sure I drive the Evo twice a week...

 

I love driving my Evo, thats why I bought it.

 

most evo owners dont daily drive their cars

 

Surprised so many people don't drive their evos, whats the point of having it? To look at in a garage and say "look I have a low mile evo".

I guess the low milage just does't impress me, I would rather be happy every time I drive.
