Bah, that's nothin, I hit 70k 30 months after I bought the car. At your rate it'll take 35 months to hit 70k. And I bought mine with 28 miles.

 I thought I drove too much. I picked up my Maxx in July, and I just rounded 13.7k.

the car has already been used for a few long trips. so it is sort of exagerated. we took it to daytona for the rolex24, i have driven to pittsburgh, baltimore, and the poconos with it.
i am sure as teh summer wears on there will be a few more trips to rack up the miles

That's a lot of driving. How many miles is it to and from work? I know that isn't the only driving you do (obviously) but 10k is a LOT.

That's insane but not unbelievable. I know a guy that has that beat. He drives to work 80 miles each way! He managed to pack on almost 50k miles in a year. I told him he was insane for living so far away and we calculated he spent around $4000 in gas. I had him seriously contemplating having a tank installed at his house, lol.

i live about 12miles from work. what adds up the mileage is the drives to up near frenchtown to help randy with teh race car a few nights a week, driving to new egypt once a week, driving back and forth to car shows and car club meetings at least once a week.
good thing i easily get 30+ mpg, even doing city driving.

since this is teh first new car i have ever owned i have been thinking about keeping it a while. my dad had a buick that went 470K and still ran when we got rid of it. it would be nice to get that kind of life span out of this car.
i am going to save up the money to buy the loan out early i think. i don't like the idea of making payments on a car once it is out of warranty
