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.

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

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!
