Been averaging a touch over a1000 miles a month for the 20 months I've had my '03 Coupe. Right at 129,500 miles on it at present. My main goal with my car is to put gas in it and cruise the back roads. ;-)

yes, I drove over there to get it....flows better.. MUCH better sound at idle..about 20% more growl at high rpms.25-30 lbs lighter too! Excellent upgrade...
