    Original Owner. Purchase in Nov 2001. 111500 miles, and no major problems. CD and windows still work, and I got 18.2 mpg on my last tank. I've never been off-roading (that video on youtube was pure fabrication.) Daily driver...90 miles round trip. Mobil1 oil and filter since the first oil change. Looks, runs, and performs as good as new.

    Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. We have a candidate for the first ten year honor, but can he hold on till then?

    Did anyone else buy in 4/99?

    Dave (Cyrk) and Carl (Carlymac) haven't chimed in but their 99s should be close if not the oldest still owned. I know Carl ordered his before they were available. Neither have posted much lately. Plus Grandpa Bob still have his 99 I believe (his was the prototype for the Alpine supercharger kit).

    I bought my '01 Dragon new in '02 but sold to Velvis a few years ago with about 45K miles. 2nd owner of our IronMan which had 95K miles at purchase and is now at about 145K miles. The Ebony has about 47K miles, and I think I'm the 3rd owner there as I don't recall if Velvis (the PO) was 1st or 2nd.

    Original owner, bought new in Sept 2002. Only have 36,000 mi. Daily driver, but work from home most the time and drive the Ninja anytime the weather permits. Besides my wipers needing some paint work, my hood has cracked this winter, and the windows a bit slow... everything else no problems at all.
