What's the most miles you've put on a clutch? Brakes?
My wife's 2004 Mazda3 just turned over 100K miles. It still has the original clutch and front brakes. I mentioned this to the Mazda service advisor when I had my Mazda5 in recently and he seemed genuinely shocked.
What kind of mileage have you gotten out of consumables on your daily driver?

There are at least 120K miles on the original clutch on the 924S (can't verify due to the broken odometer)

I'm in the mid-60,000s / original brakes on my 2000 Celica. Plenty of life left on both. Not exactly big miles but still not bad.

Original clutches:
VW GTI: 120K miles Subaru Legacy: 125K miles Audi A4: 125K miles BMW 330i: 98K miles and counting........ I am very deliberate with shifts, never riding the clutch or using the gears for braking. And always wait a red lights in neutral Brakes: a lot less than that!

My dad made 180k on the stock clutch in his Dodge diesel... and that was a lot of rough miles and pulling crane trucks out of the mud....

My '02 Chevy Silverado has 170,000 miles on all brake parts! this is a truck that has towed 20,000 + miles with a pretty good size load.
My 2006 corvette has 75k on the clutch. The Z-51 rotors and pads didn't last long (drilled rotors and "track" pads )

To go the other way, I remember putting front brakes on a late '70s Camaro with 12k miles that was metal-to-metal. Not a Z28 or anything, just a plain jane driven by a mid-20's mom.

My 911 had a rubber-centered clutch (the infamous ones that never lasted very long) from 1981 until 2003. The clutch was still working fine when I removed the engine.

My dump truck has 244,000 miles, I bought it from the original owner, and he swears that it is the original clutch. My last 3 series had 140,000 miles on it when I sold it, and it was the original clutch.
On the other hand, I just put a clutch in my brother in law's Camry at 32,000.
