You can check his instagram, same name. He's not anywhere near 500k yet... his last post of his odometer showed 412,500 miles but that was at the end of September.

Good to see, still some people have their original 03 EVOs!

I bought mine in June 2003, and still have it. 47k miles only, used to be my primary car when in US (but lived on campus), after moved to South Korea, it is mostly for track days and canyon drives.

Had so much fun owning / maintaining / tuning my EVO, and met so many great car people too. Will keep it even I get another fun car.

OP has me beat (as well as others in this thread)

but I still have my Evo 9, that I bought brand new in 2006

Barely drive it anymore though that I live in Chicago

Actually hasn't been driven in like 2 years

In the summers now a days I'm on 2 wheels, (triumph street triple) or the s2000, top down is fun.

Think it still has like 57k miles

Just too lazy to try and sell it

Does yours also still have the new car smell somewhat. Mine does and it's kind of weird for a 13 year old car.

I don't know how you've put so few miles on it! It's hard for me to not drive my car any chance I get!
