I'm also six years old, in June of that first year I was never so stared at in all my life, and harassed at stop lights with questions.
The first five years of hard core tracking left 100,000 on the odo, and a little lifter noise, but the engine was in good shape (put in forged internals etc. at a hundred thou).
Lost count of all the Direzza's, Hankooks, and brake pads, but the only other cost was oil and gas, the famous r/f overheated coil, and axle issue from hitting the bumper strips. Coil issue never came back, and racing axles solved the ticking prior to axle bearing blow up.
Amazed at how the car stood up to the first five tears of constant redline.
