All these people who have driven less than 10 K miles in a year as a daily driver.

On December 20(Eleanors bday) I clocked in 22,000 miles. I am at 23,400 now.

This includes:
3 trips to Orlando
4 Trips To Atlanta
1 Trip to Ct.

And lots of fun in between.

Anyone clock MORE miles in a year?

I love driving mine and it shows. Im at 27,400 since April 12th,2005.

2 Round trips (Virginia->Florida)
An insane amount of roundtrips from Winchester,VA to Blacksburg, VA. I did that trip every weekend for 5 months I believe.
1 round trip (Virginia->MyrtleBch)
1 round trip (Virginia->Ohio) for the s3 challenge
And of course my 62 mile round trip to work every day.

It will slow down when I replace the Alero with something reliable.

I am thinking of passing it to my kid so I can get an 09.

We took delivery at the end of October.. As of today (1/27/06) we have just under 10k miles on our car. That is with one road trip to Las Vegas (700 miles round trip).. And that is with the car staying home one week (stay at home vacation).

~Mark

Edit: 1/26/06
I just did the math.. Assuming only daily driving miles. (no trips). which averages 600 miles/week (400 miles is just to/from work and 3 trips to/from town on the weekends).. That comes out to 31000 miles per year.. And thats when we aren't carpooling.. When we carpool, its another 100 miles per week.. I'm sure glad we got the 100k waranty on it.. But so far, we love it.. We actually drive it more than our 35mpg vehicle..

I got mine on May 6th '05, in Iowa. Drove home (with side trips) to Seattle and within a week had 2200 miles on it. That same weekend I drove down to Walla Walla for the balloon festival, and added another 600 miles on it. The next weekend we went to the Northwest Olympic Peninsula, added another 300. The week after that we hit the Oregon coast, for another 1000. In July I drove down to my new home, Las Vegas, add another 1800. Since then, I've slowed down considerably. At 6 months I was at 12000 miles. Now, 8 and a half months, I'm just under 15000 miles.

I love driving this car though, and my poor motorcycle has suffered neglect because of it. I've barely ridden it at all since getting the Mustang.

I got mine on 4/29/05, so in just under 9 months I have 15,600 on the odometer... that works out to about 21K/year.

Purchased April 14th, and he has 14,428 miles as of pulling in the garage. It will slow down as I am hopefully moving closer to work soon, and I am almost done with school.
