    On an icy county road, I passed 150,000 miles on my 2004 WRX. I bought it new in 03 and I've largely done all of the miles, mods and maintenance on it myself or with help from friends. My wife and I have 3 kids now so it doesn't get as much attention anymore. It is still my daily driver because what else would I drive 13 miles to work on country roads in the winter?
    I still get comments about it, mostly from a younger crowd now - I was invited to join mnsubiez. B-rad at Discount tire was surprised I still drive it.

    Anyone else with high miles still one-owners?

    I'm the second owner of my 06 2.5I. Bought it with 27xxx miles. I'm just over 190xxx now. I love my car! This year will be the 200K celebration!

    Even though it is 13 years old it still looks cool!

    Deadly combination of brand new tires, overly stiff suspension, gravel on blacktop at a corner and trying to avoid oncoming Aston Martin. I think I was probably going less than 30mph at the time, but the drop-off the cliff maybe 20 yards from the road was scary.

    I picked up my 02 wrx at 185k. It now has 235k and runs fantastic. The car has had some serious issues but has never stranded me.
