Car Info: 03 WRX wagon
95k on my 03 wagon. Put on 46k the first year, and will probably return to a similar mileage level for the next two years.
Front brake pads lasted until 88k.
Front rotors lasted until 94k.
Suspension was still fine at 90k, when I switched to an STi wagon setup.
Everything else is still stock with the exception of exhaust for stage 2.
Clutch and tranny are as good, or better, than new.
(Almost forget new radiator, etc., after major head-on at 88k.)

My 02 has 18,000 miles
Yes,
You read it right, my "new" car has only 18,000 from 2002. Got lucky and found it off of Craigslist. The original owner lives near BART, and only drove it on weekends to the grocery store. He actually traded it in for a 05 Sti. Lucky guy, but I'm also counting my blessings.

In a year and a half I'll be on the other side of the country though, so it'll level off

Well let's see, a lot of those miles are rally related, either competing (Alcan 5000, Thunderbird, Coast to Coast, No Alibi) or working (Rim of the World, Laughlin International Rally, Reno Rally, Gorman Ridge, Golden West)
This car has made 2 trips to Colorado, 2 trips to Alaska, a couple of trips to BC, (in addition to the Alaska runs) I can't even begin to count how many trips down to Lancaster/Palmdale, but figure 3-4 times per year there, same with Laughlin NV, at least one trip to Montana per year, (this year 4), usually 4 trips or more to Yreka per year (well, maybe not this year) and LOTs of trips to Tahoe/Kirkwood.
Then there are those weekends where there's no destination, but I'll go out and log a thousand + miles in a couple days just exploring.
Here's today's odo reading (I think the thread title needs an update);
