High Mile Club *garage queens need not apply

[OutlanderRed]

I just passed the 20K mark. I've had her since October of '14. That's mostly daily, with many a 200+ mile weekend trip and one round trip back home to OK. Gonna be adding another 4000 or so in a few months.

Well, my daily grind is 1.1 miles - two traffic lights, and a traffic circle, so it is hard mileage. Let's see, I sold my 2006 with 15,000 miles so that is about 130 miles a month.

Damn hahaha, if we had a "low mileage club" then you have me beat 4 times over, sir.

Had it on road for about 6 weeks now, 4500 miles.

Damnnnnn..I thought I was kicking ass at 2400 miles in 5 weeks.

That's walking or biking distance...not so good for a car.

New job will have me cutting down on that quite a bit. Only difference: It will be a commute instead of being paid for the miles... :( The job will be cooler though....

Just hit 38k yesterday. I drive about 2400 miles a month.

No problems so far, but after a bit over 1 year of ownership I have developed rattles. :/

A traffic circle :lol: I assume thats American talk for a roundabout :doh:

I remember doing my licence in Florida back in 2003 and reading the highway code or whatever its called there and it describing roundabouts as a new form of junction. Made me chuckle.

There awesome and get rid of all those unnecessary stop signs that people run then get a ticket from sheriff john bunnell.

I do miss living in the states. Back over in September for the usual family holiday (vacation) keep looking at holiday homes to buy everytime we come and rent a disney villa and will hopefully do it one day soon so we can spend more than 2 weeks a year there. Feels like home to me so am always sad to leave. Been British though you guys will not let me stay :rant:

Owned mine since Nov 2014, just hit 27k miles.
I suppose that's fairly average.

I'm currently sitting at 28,xxx. I'm a lil bummed about it too. This was the first car I'd bought that was brand new and seeing it go from 8 miles on the odo to now is a bit saddening. Speaking of which I have yet to get a catch can for my car. Would you guys say it's 'too late' to get one?

It is great for resale . And sometimes there is a detour!

Landing in the UK and getting in a car is a head trip also - especially roundabouts- remembering to clockwise is tough enough, but making sure you exit into the left lane...white knuckle time and I was less than a mile from the airport! Oh, and that is on top of shifting with your left hand.

Safe trip when you are over and give the mouse my regards!

Definitley don't like seeing signs of wear, nicks in the paint, etc. I do my best to keep it looking new, I guess that's the price we pay for putting miles on them.

Oh man, don't get me started on the wear and tear aspects. I've got a pretty gnarly chip on my hood. I can count on 1 hand how many times my car has been through an automatic car wash, and I'm starting to see the swirls. It's quite depressing. The interior rattles are more prevalent now. *sigh* I want to have something else as my daily before I get to 30,xxx. So I'm looking to get back into one of my first cars (that I regret trading in), a 98 Honda Accord. Mine had 270,xxx miles on it when I traded it in, and the only major problem was a slight leak/burning of oil.

delivered December 28, 2014, right now at 33,700. I just purchased bumper to bumper for 6 years / 150,000 miles as I know this car is going to be keeper

Not in this club. I drive mine daily, but I'll be bored long before 100K.

^ This. I've had mine since 12/10/15 (got it with 6,690 miles) and I don't see myself keeping it longer than 2-3 years at most UNLESS I boost it. I've had it for a little over 5.5 months now and I'm at 16,1xx. So I've put about ~9,500 miles in less than 6 months. I wonder how many times I've filled up given the fact that I average 8-9mpg on E85. :lol:

The car's a riot to drive, especially with my current exhaust set-up. She pulls hard, sounds great and is an all around joy to own, but.. I really want an '04 Termi in Sonic Blue with a bigger blower.. or a 6MT E60 M5 or a 6MT E9x M3.. or a C6Z06.. or even another S2000 with a blower!

See? I've got commitment problems and I need more MONEY! :headbonk::lol:
