I just moved to the St. Louis area and am driving 35 miles one way every day. But those miles are nothing if you take care of your car. I have:

1. 1978 Mustang II Ghia that I've had since '79, and it has 235,000 miles on it. I had parked it for a few years when the kids were growing up. Blew a connecting rod in the engine in 2000 when I had 135,000 miles on it and dropped in a new Ford Re-built Engine from their remanufacturing plant.

2. 1991 Ford Crown Victoria with over 400,000 miles on it. Dropped a new engine in it around 2001-2002 with 250,000 miles on it.

Both cars are still going strong. Crown Vic is just now starting to use a little bit of oil. These cars are meant to be driven and driving I do!!

Over 30K since March 2005. I love driving this car, but I'm not happy about racking up so much mileage. I now drive 120+ miles every day to and from work. Along with the mileage comes stone chips, bugs, etc. Thinking about buying a beater just for transportation to and from work. Something that gets really good mileage like a Honda Civic.

My Stang does 27ish on the highway. Buy the time you buy the beater, pay for insurance, how many miles do you have to drive to make the 10ish MPG worth it, aka, break even with the investment into it?

That is a lot of miles. But I bet you have enjoyed every single one.

I agree regarding the investment, but the stone chips, bugs, and all the other interstate jetsam and flotsam including truck tires and one now very flat 75 mph armadillo carry as much or more weight with me than the gas costs. I want my car to look good in 5 or even 10 years and that will be tough doing the interstate battle every day.

I fly more often now because of that, I don't want rock chips, maint cost, gas costs, etc. It's cheaper for me to fly to my normal destinations than it is to drive honestly, as long as I book a month+ in advance.

I figure in 5+ years, I'll be looking at a good quality repaint as well, I'd like to keep this vehicle for the long haul.

As it stands, I have 12.5k now and only 3 minor chips on the edge of the hood that were easily touched up.
