I got my Stang on April 4th and on June 4th looked down to see I had almost 3000 miles already.

I just can't stop driving this car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neither can my wife!!!!!!!!!!

How long did it take you to get to 3000 miles?

Ok 3000 miles in 2 months, times 6, since it's a two month periods, for a year that's 18000 miles!!!!!!!!!! Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God I'm garaging it for the winter!

7,400 miles since Nov 13. I drive 70 miles roundtrip, and drive the stang 2 to 3 days a week to work and on weekends. I have another vehicle to drive 60% of the time. Miles sure add up fast.

Picked up my car November 1st. 11.800 on the car as of today. It's my only car, and right now even if I had another car, I would still be driving the Mustang.

Hard habit to break!!

We should all stop worrying about miles on our car, if the engine breaks we rebuild it.. just keep the outside now!! YOu dont know if youll be dead tomorrow so nto enjoying your car while you have it is silly.

That being said I have about 5600 since December 28th. I have another car I have access too that I drive in the pooty weather.
