Who has the earliest build/ownership date?
I'm begining to feel like granny dinosaur around here lol, still being the original owner of a 2004 (purchased June 2004) built 11/27/2003. Perfect condition though... after a new engine and a few thousand spent this last year on wearables and the usual miscellaneous stuff

Any earlier builds still kicking around?

Longer original ownership?

Mine is a July of 2003 build. I believe there are a few, StealthTL, Zoom44, and some other OG's have owned theirs since preorder.

Hard to believe this car is getting close to the 10 year marker. Still looks better than most of the new cars in it's range on the road. Any early builds with the same engine?

Oct. 2003 - 65k miles, all original GT 6Spd.

Driven hard every day.

Only reliability mods have been:

Idemitsu Pre-Mix
BHR Ignition
Mazmart REmedy Water Pump & Thermostat

I don't have the numbers in front of my but my compression was perfect when it was tested by Mazda last year. I'm planning on going again sometime soon.

I'm guessing someone living in Hiroshima has the earliest build date.

Mine's a 2007, purchased BN, only 22K miles on her. (not a DD, just a weekend fun car).

No door dings, still showroom condition, still has the "new car smell".

Good enough for me.
