I thought I put very little miles on my car. Mine is 19 months old and it just turned 12,000 miles today !!


Start driving buddy and don't stop !!!!

83 miles a week isn't doing that car any justice !!

I bet if there was a poll on who put the least miles on there car in a 3 month period, would take the gold medal.

I think the reason I dont drive my car a lot is because people dont respect other people's cars were I live. I have never went to the movies and left my car for two+ hours. This guy I know went to this club and when he was leaving he noticed someone left him a nice kicked in rear door panel on his E-class....real nice!

My car is 18 months old, and has 27,000 miles on it. That is about 1,500 a month, or 50+ a day!

Hey Evil, just shut-up and drive dude!:D (just kidding, of course)

11 months and 7000 miles on the cab, and 1300 of that was compiled in a one week period in Germany during my ED experience. Since I've been reunited with it here in the States I've averaged about 600 miles per month, or 20 miles per day.

It's more of a weekend warrior than a daily driver, thanks to the fact the little woman and I both work for the same employer and in the same vicinity and therefore rack up the miles in her Escape XLT (almost 15k miles in 11 months).

Looking forward to springtime when I can take my own advice and 'just shut-up and drive'.:thumb:

That's a risk you take with any car. I remember when I left my MR2 Turbo (at the time it was new) in the City (New York) parked on the street overnight and I came out the next morning and someone had knee'd one of the rear panels.

It sucks but you can't let a car control your life. Park it where you want, do your best to avoid a problem and deal with it if there is a problem. it's just a car and it's one of the many that you will have in your life. Don't let life pass you by !!!

I might have you beat and win the gold myself!! I have had mine for 14.5 months and only have 5100 miles on it :dunno: It's my 1.8 mile commute to work that keeps the miles down...

Here's a pic taken a few days ago...
