my car has 41,400 on her now =( i hate that! 2 years ago she only had 18K on her. But I plan on keeping her forever so idk how many miles that'll be lol. In the next year or two i hope to park her & get a new daily driver. My ol 97 Breeze has over 250K on her, our 99 caravan has over 270K miles, my dads 01 Sierra has like 145K i think & then my moms eclipse has like 30K

I put 15k on Sliver since I bought him a year and a half ago. I will be putting many more miles on him cause I have a 40 mile round trip 5 days a week.

I bought mine new 3 years ago, and now have 117,500 miles on it. I usually put about 600-750 miles a week on my car. I plan on keeping this car to at least 250,000 miles.

I hardly drive my car anymore. Mon-Fri I walk to the train station now to go to work. She's quickly become a weekend warrior.

I think I've only put on 2500 miles this year? And I'm looking to get a 2nd car so that I can start to really have fun with the Monte.

I drove my car for hte last couple of months of my junior year, and all of my senior year. Other than that, it was a '93 Silverado. I've driven the Monte Carlo to 2 years of college now, and it has gone from 80,000 miles to 110,000 miles. When you factor out a trip to Maryland I made to go visit my roommate and go to a race, I've only driven the car about 250-300 mile since the last of May!!! My parents had a Suburban that ran to 250,000 miles... then we sold it, and those people are still driving it around.
