my STi's almost at 70k miles and I'm trying not to drive it very much so I don't hit it....

I need to buy a beater, anyone in the same boat?

I had to commute from the bay to sac for a while and it ate up miles sooo fast

 

Use the money from the beater and build a motor. Problem Solved!

 

well I'm planning on building a motor and when my motor goes kaboom replace it with the built

 

eg civic for about 2k

 

i've got 88k on my 2005. it's depressing to see that many miles but hey, a commute is a commute. at least i have a smile on my face each way.

 

hey at least its freeway miles... not that bad.

Shoot my 02 has 97,XXX on it still runs like a champ tho. Take care of ur subaru and it will run forever

 

ive had my car just about 14 months and ive put over 20k on my car...from 61 to about 83 now...driving between santa cruz and sf

 

I bought a 90 Acura Integra as a beater about a year and a half ago... in that time I've put about 8k on the sti and about three times that on the Acura. 1500$ investment on the beater has saved me a ton... 05 Sti with 36k miles.

 

yep. get a Civic hatch or Integra. Look for good deals on CL and you'll be able to find one for $2K in good condition

 

i'm in the same boat.. commuted only 8 miles a day to 80+ a day. the thing that kills me the most are those god dame road nicks..

 

i drive 3 miles a day =]

but 150 on weekends...

 

i would only want a beater as a second car so i can work on my wrx without worrying about having to finish every time i mod anything. but who would want to drive a beater when you have such a nice car? i say enjoy the car who cares about the miles

 

my wrx is my beater too btw hah

 

^^^Same here. WRX is my beater. Hey, if my engine go kaboom, I'll drop sti's engine in. But I only have 63,000 miles on my 2002 wrx....hehehe

 

I have almost 70k on my 05, and it is depressing to see that many miles put on it. I bought the car with 24xxx on it and now its at 67k. Nothing but smiles for every mile i have driven. the car is made to be driven IMO
