Yes, I was shocked when I looked @ the odometer today. I've had the car for 3.5 months now and I've already racked up 11k miles!!!! (I left the lot with 5.5)

Granted I took a trip down the Florida Keys (over 400 miles round trip) and several pointless trips to this girl's house way out of the freaking way up north.

How far can these cars go b/c I feel like I ought to buy a beater to use as a daily driver due to my 80 mile round trip commute to work

LOL - no worries anti. Just enjoy. We just put over 10,000 miles in less than 30 days on our new SUV going from CA to PA and then to AR to PA back and forth. lol..

Just enjoy the toy. Life is too short my friend.

Wow, I have had my car since end of May 06 and I think I might have 12,000 KMS on it. I don't drive it when the weather is really bad and last winter set in early and didn't let go. Got to drive it today though, that was nice.

33K+ in about 14.5 months for me. Picked her up with 8.7 on the clock. I love driving my car Numerous times I travel 70 miles by myself without ever turning the stereo on.

I put exactly 20k a year on mine to the day. I've had her 2yrs 3mo =44k. I figured buy these numbers that I will have 120k miles when it is paid for. I have a 45mile round trip to work. The cost of insurance on a third vehicle does not justify having a third, and my insurance co requires me to have full coverage on a 3rd ride even tho its paid for and I have a spotless record.

Ok, I don't feel as bad now.

I'm contemplating picking up a 93-94 Lincoln Mark VIII to drive to and from work every now and then. They're cheap, have some balls on the highway, very comfortable ride and would be fun to turn into a mega sleeper with some spray!

10 months 800 miles. I only drive it on sunny weekends! Getting some new wheels and tire installed this week. Definitely a reason to get it out some more!

11,200 in 4.5 months

90 mi roundtrip commute but I get a flex day off every other friday and I don't have many other long trips.

Hoping to stay around 25k/yr.

A beater might be an option a year or 2 down the line.
