9,000 miles in 5 months

[4g64FTL]

Someone said I drive to much and just today after buying the sti 5 months ago have put on 9,001 miles today. Is that as high as people think it is? I guess what is the average a year, since this is my DD and fun car.

[lownslow95]

God damn son, thats a lot of miles for 5 months. Some one must like to drive.

[DPancoast]

I did that when I first got my MR2. I think I did like 8k in 6 months or something like that. It was insane. It'll die down... for me it did.

[97TurboDSM]

average miles per year is 12,000. you're gonna crush that. stop driving

[012.5RS]

dont feel bad, i do about 500 a week, which comes out to about 10k for 5 moths.

[TGilb2007]

I usually hit around 15k a year or so.... but thats driving to/from RI a few times a year, to from Boston a lot, and a 60mi/day commute to work.


And I still have nothing on you. Damn dude.

[SpEcRv9]

i think i did about 10k since the beginning of june.....

i did 30k last year....

i drive wayy too much....but im actually slowing down alot over the past few weeks...

[The Captain]

I've been sub 5k/yr for the past 3 years. Emissions exempt :) I really don't drive much at school.

[Nick 95 6sp]

At that average of 9000/5mo the annual milage would be 21,600 (9000/5 X 12)

...well above average but not unheard of by any means. I remember when I got my first car I put 3000 miles on the first month.

First couple years of owning my Supra I put ~15k/yr on it. Now that it's not my DD, last year I put 5k on it; my '07 RAV4 has 26k on it now.

[Eclipse GSX 61]

I put 10,000 miles in a year on the GSX.

[lownslow95]

I think since I owned my truck, I have put on about 4-5k miles at most. I don't drive anywhere that much, and when I do, its only to school and back so yeah.

[DropTopChevy]

I did 16,000 one year with the camaro.

[CleanNeon98]

I got my car on 6/4
bought with 35k and change
today has 39,500

[4g64FTL]

Well I used to drive 350 miles a day to work plus whatever miles I did after work and on weekends for a good 4 months. Im pretty sure thats where it came from and now its only 11 miles a day. I got the car with 36,000 and now am at 45,001 but the way I am looking at it I bought car for $21,000 with 36,000 miles on it and for $21k with 36,000 miles on it is really good and I have only seen STI's in the 45,000 mile range going for $21k, so technically now I should care.

I thought about getting a DD but I plan to drive this then trade it in when its in the XXX,XXX range (the turbo will be replaced at 60k)

[ToTheIX's]

ive put not quite 7000 on mine in almost 3yrs, and prob wont hit 9000 for another 2 yrs or so

[FazdaGt]

i've put close to 50K on a car in a year in the past...

it all depends on your lifestyle really, i worked and went to school an hour from home then.

but... i've had the vette just over a month and put nearly 5K miles on it already.

some of us just like to drive i guess.

[marshallpre1]

8K miles in 8 months of owning the Supra, and that is with a DD :) It was even stored in the winter. Why buy a car that you're just gonna stare at?

[screamingchicken]

I think I put over 15,000 miles on in the first 6 months of owning my Jeep. Since July, I only put on about 2-3k. Gas costs too much for this thing.:cry:

[omgjacki]

That's a lot of driving. That's an average of about 58 miles a day.

[4g64FTL]

Why buy a car that you're just gonna stare at?

Exactly


Like Jason said I guess its people who like to drive and I hate being seen in my girlfriends cavaqueer one of the two

[HatchSurfer3]

thats not a whole lot, i think the yearly avg went up above 12k now actually. but like marshallpre1 said, you didnt buy it to stare at it. Unless its going to be a collectors item or something i wouldn't worry about it too much.

[omgjacki]

I thought it was 15,000?

[90Laser]

I put 5k on my Galant in two years haha.

[martang]

I drive about 25,000 miles a year, I bought my car 3 years ago and put alittle over 75,000 miles on it.

[mumby]

Low average 12k a year high average 15k a year. I used to drive 50k a year.

When I worked at Acura we would have sales consultants that worked the East coast that would be doing 100k a year. It all depends on what you do.

[jdm free]

6000 since june here and it sits for days on end sometimes

[240sxDann]

idk if the the wheels were stuck together in the odometer or what but I remember getting my first car, an escort. When I got it, it said 183k, when I junked it about 6-7 months later, it said ~225k. idk if thats even possible in 6 months....

[Oakes]

I bought my car on July 19th, it now has 4,112 miles on it when i pulled into my driveway tonight.

[4g64FTL]

I am now going to car pull with someone to cut down on the milage mmmyeah

[CHAOS]

youre on pace to hit my driving lol


i do about 25k a year.

[97TurboDSM]

yea you drive too much too

[nuzzlenut]

I put 36k on in 6 months back when I was in college. Worked fulltime an hour north, drove an hour south for school fulltime. Good times.

[evo9mr]

ive had my evo for about a year and a half and i have 30,000 miles on it

[Oakes]

My 2006 Galant has 79k on it now.

[thunder_lizard]

January 28, 2009 will be 2 years for my WRX.. and I'm now well over 43K miles...I'm glad there have been no major issues putting miles on it so quickly.. but OTOH, I'm pissed cause it'll likely be dead before it's paid for at this rate...:cry:

[Snippy]

thats not to bad :) i put about 15k on my car in 7 months when i 1st got it (it has died down to about 1 to 200 miles a month now lol)

[IdriveBad]

I put a little over 10k on my old jeep in the 5-6 months that I owned it. Thinking back on that, that was a ****load of gas. Right now I'm only driving like 300-400 miles a week.

[hollatchaboy]

i do about 30-32,000 a year on my legacy.

bought it with 14 miles late-september '05... just tapped 93,000 the other day. my '02 lancer i put 85,000 on in about 3 years, too after i bought that one new.

[NickS]

I put a hair over 5k in 4 months on my car.. and I'm 16, I don't really NEED to go anywhere except school, work & friends places.

[OPZ]

Bought my elantra with about...eh...56k?

I have 94k.

Only owned it for 2 or 3 years now.

[Paul]

ive put 3k on mine and i bought it at the beginning of this month, i love driving it though i cant help it
