Is it normal to put 100 miles on your new mustang in 12 hours? Cause I just went over the 100 mile mark!

Wouldn't want all the tires to go flat from it just sitting idle!

That works out to an average of just over 8 MPH. I'd say you are a slacker!

Think he must have meant 1000 in 12 hrs. Sounds like a long fast ride to me....I'm the real slacker in this forum I think....I just passed 1600 miles in mine and I've had it since Oct. 22nd.....LOL I just sit and luck at it...guess I've put about 100 a week on it....It's all pedal to the floor driving so maybe that makes up for it...LOL

I know the feeling. When I got mine I was finding all kind of excuses to go out. The wife didn't have to ask twice for me to go to the store.

I'm close to 4,200 miles... and this is a 3rd car....

A 100 miles is a scenic romp around the back roads... you should be driving, not posting j/k

Yeah, I can understand not wanting to take it out in the harsh Orlando winters.
