Its already been a year.

I've had my car for a year as of june 28th and i still love it like the first time i sat in it. It was a little under 15,000 until the day after i hit exactly 15,000 miles. I've had zero problems (other than the numerous rattles that are now even more apparent that i have 2 12's in the trunk) but other than that, its never been to the dealer for anything, i drive pretty "spirited" everywhere and its holding up great. The brakes can probably go another 10-15K before i cut the rotors and replace the pads. I'm gonna need new tires to replace the S0-3's i toasted in 13800 miles. I love this car and i'm keepin it til the motor jumps out of the hood.

Yeah, I have had my car for almost 7 months and I still love it. The only complaints that I have are the squeaky a$$ brakes.

I will be hitting 3yrs with my car on OCT. 22nd.

Racked up 54,000 miles and thousands of dollars worth of mods and couldn't be happier with this car.

It's almost been a year for me as well but I haven't even put 6k miles on it yet. My other car gets a lot more miles because it hauls the kids, not my G. No real complaints besides the dang windows rattling. I keep putting off going to the dealer to get them fixed. There is some other rattle in the dash but I don't mind it so much.

It took me a while to get used to the 6mt in the beginning but no problems now. Before I bought the 6mt, I thought I might get sick of driving a stick but that has yet to happen. It's just so much fun to gun it in 1st, slam 2nd, then 3rd (vdc off of course). I just know I am going to get a ticket in this thing someday and start a 'stupid cop gave me a ticket thread - how dare he'. lol

Have you looked at your brakes? My outer pads, at almost 10k are still as thick as new, and the rotors still look new, I bet you'll get more than 30k out of those brakes, IMHO. HaHa, I've never kept a car until the motor jumped out of the hood, I've kept a few vehicles for 6 years, and maybe less than 70k, never got rid of a car because I had to!

Most of the time i drive my car like i stole it so my brakes are going a little bit quicker than they normally would.
