Question Do you worry about the miles on your Evo?

I own a 03 Tarmac Evo, and love it, it has 30k on it. my buddy is always worrying about the milage on his 03 evo... i was just wondering if any other evo owners worry about putting miles on their evo. or the milage on your evo period?
And if so or not what year evo do you have and whats the milage?

I only have 3500 miles on mine, but it's only a month old. I generally put between 30-35K miles every year on my car. With all of the highway miles that I drive, and with me being a fanatic about maintaining it, it should last me a looooong time (knock on wood). So I don't care about miles. As others have said, it was created to be driven.

mileage

Also a DD. 26K and it rides like new. Louder and faster now, with a tad better gas mileage even. Bonus! OG clutch. No durability worries at all. Even without cruise control, it's still the road trip ride of choice.

No car is an investment, they all depreciate. (Unless you stole it!) Drive it, it's what you bought it for!!

My daily driven 04 evo has 17000 miles at 13 months old. This is much less than the 25000 miles per year I put on my previous ride. As much as I love driving my evo, I am concerned about the mileage as I may want to sell it in a few years to get a C6 Z06 or a R35 GTR. I am considering getting a RWD beater as a daily driver and for some drifting.

I'm not concerned. It's my daily driver just like some of you. There hasn't been a moment that I don't enjoy the power and the handling of the Evo. I'm going to drive this car til the wheels fall off...and then I'm going to get another set!
