Highest mileage HRs
Many thanks! Yep, the paint sees my porter cable for full paint correction about 4 times a year (seasonal). The bumper has its share of rock ships though. For being a commuter car, black color, in NY, this is as good as it'll get. Will get the front bumper and lip repainted this summer though. Mmmm...fresh paint

i have 113,xxx miles on mine i drift and auto cross the hell out of mine but just this pass month i had a problem with my tb im thinking started up my car went up to 2ish rpms then bamm dead tryed it again same thing took mafs out cleaned them up same with the tb and reset it then the other day after i went meet up with friends car felt great on the way there hung out blah blah went to leave car messed up on me again now i idle below the third line from 0 i cant remember if thats normall or not but anyways could that be a sign of my tb going out?
I have exactly 123,725mi on my '08 Roadster bought in '09. Today while doing a routine oil change I found that my rear diff bushing is blasted/leaking. The reason I'm on the site today - finding out how others dealt with this issue. Other than that: a clutch change, a pulley bearing going out, belt changes - which I feel is routine maint - my HR is running and doing great!!!

87000 miles and paint is near flawless!

You know I was close to selling my car because I've been wanting an e92 m3 for the longest and I'm in a situation to put down 60% and finance the rest. So I joined the m3 forums and found a plethora of problems with those engines (bearing issues) and the transmissions. In short, it's not a car you want to own out of warranty. It got me thinking. I would likely only be able to afford one coming out of warranty soon (2010 model) and I didn't want to shell out an additional $5k for an extended warranty. I also didn't want a $500 payment and I also didn't want to live in paranoia in case anything went wrong. So I've closed that chapter for now and will revisit the idea of that car in a few years.
It got me thinking. My 2007 HR has been so reliable, the engine is so robust and it's all around good car. No car payments since I bought it outright in 2010, insurance is decent and did I mention its been so reliable? HR FTW! The HRs look a tad outdated now but when done right, they still look amazing. Some people hate the hood scoop but that's actually my favorite cosmetic change I love about the HR compared to previous years.
