How many miles have you put on your 8 since you bought it? How long have you owned it? Have you noticed anything about the 8 as it matures?

Texas 8

I've got about 8500 miles on the odo. I've owned it since Feb. 04 Just like wine, the older she gets the better she gets

9,200 miles. Bought the car in mid April 2004. I work at home, so all the miles are fun miles.

The car runs and looks like it was brand new. In fact, it runs better now than when new, shifter is smoother, due in part to redline tranny/diff swap.

31000 miles since Aug 2003. Just can't stop driving it! :D

^^^ I'm with you...I got mine in the beginning of September and I turned over 6000. That's like 1500 miles a month...

Was part of the 1st pre-order group (see sig), and just turned 25,000 miles this week.

She went to the dealership for her free scheduled oil & filter, and the original Bridgestones are now getting too thin on tread. New PS2's were ordered this week as replacements.

Since the 'L' reflash last February, there has been nothing but smiles she has given me. I also average 21.76 mpg on 87 Shell or Texaco.

Eight months, 9100 miles, zero problems, retired so all fun runs, probably the last car I'll ever buy!

Rizim

I got my car in late June and have put already 11,250 miles. Only problem I have had is the squeal in my brakes (my dealer still claims they no nothing about it =/ ) and my car's center console (the one with the hidden compartment) broke. Once my brakes are fixed I will be happy, but so far I haven't had any luck.

Delivered July 22, '03.
27,400 miles of driving enjoyment.
About time to look for new tires.
The more I drive it, the more I appreciate what a steal this car is, and how smart I was for buying it :D

Nubo

4500 miles in 9 months. Been to the dealer once for "M", and to have the AC checked. The AC is my only real complaint.

9G Redline

6 months
8670 miles
only run premium in her
loving the car more and more every day
the 2 year wait was well worth it (had to save up)
if i ever questioned my purchase i just look outside and say there is no other car as beautiful as the 8.

loco4rx8

About 27,500 miles, got it in August of 2003. I love this car more than any I've owned, and it's been trouble-free so far. Can only hope it continues to be as reliable. It has really put some smiles on my face!

Just today, I got stopped in the parking lot of a convenience store. A guy asked me what kind of car it was, and told me it "looks really sharp." I never thought I'd still be getting compliments on the car nearly a year and a half after buying it.

irish8

3400 miles. I've owned her since March 2004. My 8 is my fun car!! I don't think this car car get any better. Everytime I start her up I get this huge smile that won't go away! :D

i picked up mine in may and clocked near 9k miles on it. it would have around 6k if i didnt have to drive from vegas to tacoma

UAwream

had mine almost 7 months now and ive got 11600 on the 8. in about 3 days i will have put another 800 on her, so i do quite a bit of driving and i think this is the perfect car for it.

SilverEIGHT

8226 mi. from May to Nov. Hope to get her back in February and start adding to the odometer reading. The car only got better with age. The nicest present I ever gave myself. My wife and I plan to put her to work in the summer with a two week trip from Atlanta, Georgia to Boise, Idaho and back. :D That should rack up some miles.
