Default Does this bother you?!

I just purchased an 06 ppw enthusiast 6spd at the end of June. My car already has 3,250 miles on it.......Is that alot? I mean should I even care about the mileage at all or should I just get in and drive it all the time. Does mileage bother anyone else?

it kinda bothers me. I have an o3 and i have 15,xxx miles which is not bad. I was thinkin the 350z might cost more in the future like the the gtr and supras. Watever, drive the car and enjoy it as much as possible.

Please don't drive so much. Respect the future owner and drive as little as possible.

i bought my car to drive it....and I want to get as much fun as I can out of my car...again, as soon as I find another car out there that catches my eyes, i'm dumping this one...I'm not a car collector, I like to get what's new and latest...

heck, the day i bought my car, I drove it off the lot at 5pm...and by 11pm that night, I already had over 250 miles on it...

the average miles per year should be around 12,000 which i think is ridiculously low. So based on that...yes you do have a lot of miles for that amount of time.

well...average annual mileage has gone up since 10 years ago...especially california, based on 18k/year, you're looking at about 27k in 1.5 year...

I got mine in Jan 06 and just hit 7100; I only have a 4.5 mile commute though. I try to stay around 1000 mi/mo but if I go over it isn't going to kill me.

Just because you own the car doesnt give you the right to drive it!
