Why do EVO owners keep their cars with such low mileage?

i have an 04 SSL that is tastefully modified and only have 31k miles.....its been to one MOD in southern california, and was a test subject for a couple vendors. it also has been 3m Clear Guard'ed...so the front end is minimally chipped.

im on the fence about selling it and getting something else. ive had fun with it and it has a little story on how i acquired it.

My IX has 36k and I've owned it for almost 3 years. It was my DD for practically all that time. I just bought a DD a few weeks ago so you can expect this to be a real garage queen...

for the first couple of years of ownership it was a garage queen. but then i slowly started using her everyday. now she has just under 40K miles on the odometer and its an 06. i have a beater truck but i hate driving it lol. i change the oil every 3-4K miles and the drivetrain fluids at 8K miles. she has seen the drag strip a few times and has taken trips to NC, FL and PA from south GA. i love this car!

I just broke 18k on my 05 and I have 93k on my 97 gst. Bought the gst when it was two years old with 45k on it. I don't do a whole lot of unnecessary driving plus I now have three other choices to drive. During the summer I mostly ride the gsxr. If the evo was my only car then hell yeah it would have way more miles.
