Miles

[dswalterwi at gmail.com (Don Walter)]

Let's see I drive 35 miles one way (autocross type roads) to work. 
That's 70 Miles per day times 5 days a week, 350 miles/week plus misc
miles on the weekends......

It's all from my weekly trip to the next town over (~90mi roundtrip) and delivering (avg. ~75mi/night x5 nights a week). I feel bad, my girlfriend's jetta had about 20,000mi on it when I met her (3 1/2yrs ago) and now has 75,000mi on it because her car has been my DD for 2yrs or so. We typically do an oil change 1x a month and it's always over 3k mi, but I went away for 3 weeks in Aug, so it's been 2 months since our last oil change and we still have 1000mi to go! 100,000 in 5 years? Yeah, I think I have that covered easily enough.
