</TD><TD class=alt1><!-- message -->Hello all, I am still around, just not much, but I am still here. I have a long way to go in my recovery. It will take up to a year from the time of the accident till I will be as good as it gets. so I still have about 6 months to go. For now, I go to the gym at least 5 days a week and work out.
For those that have wondered about my car, its still as good as new. I only have 10.5 K miles on it now, IF I ever sell it, which is'nt in the foreseeable future, it will have to go to a very good home. Mayby I will keep it for my son, he still has 3 years go till he drives.
I will keep in touch.
Thank You for all the hopes and prayers, I have felt them all, and I am greatly touched.

Poll said to post up, so here it is..
150K miles.
I'll attach photos. Car is a 2002.5. Never has visited the dealer for any servicing. Regular oil changes, tires replaced when needed. I replaced the original brake pads 10,000 miles ago, and the original battery 5000 miles ago.
And that's it. Original EVERYTHING else, including the timing belt and clutch.

23k on my '03. Didnt really drive it at all last year because I was at school and it was not. Planning on putting some good miles driving it up to school in Ohio in a few weeks.

2002 MP5, purchased in August of 2002. Just rolled past the 142,000 mile mark a few days ago and should hit 150,000 by the end of next month. I have rotated between stock 16" wheels on 205/45-16 rubber to a set of 18" on 215/35-18 for most of the cars life. It is lowered 2", and has an intake and the Mazdaspeed axle-back exhaust. I have to say that the exhaust has about 80,000 miles on it, and it sounds great. I have had no mechanical issues with the car, everything still works as when it was new, and I am still on the original clutch, and timing belt (a big no-no, I know), as well as all the other belts. Since the factory recommends replacement at 4 years or 105,000 miles, I thought I would go for the 4 years. I stay on top of all fluid changes (oil, brake, power steering, and manual tranny, etc), and it gets a bath at least once a week. It has been garaged nightly since it was purchased so the paint is good. I am hoping to get at least 250,000 miles without any major issues. Oh yeah, I hit a speedometer indicated 125mph on my way home from work last week. I have kept track of my gas mileage since day one, and I am averaging just under 32mpg for the first 142,000 miles. I have seen a high of 36mpg and a low of 25mpg. All in all I am very pleased with the car. For the price not much comes close in terms of handling, and fun to drive. Thanks,
Later.
Later.
