I was in a military school in Ga, while stationed in NC for 6 months. I put over 16K in that time frame!!! Not just 3 miles to and from work...

I averaged 1000 miles a week for a while until I wrecked the Z. Now I put 1000 miles a week on a POS Monte Carlo while the Z gets repaired.

Haha!!! I know EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN!!! Everytime my parents go out of town for business trip, I'm driving their car until they come back. And sometimes they wont come back for 6 months at a time. Saved a **** load of miles there...

I noticed that some people drive more than others. Sometimes I amaze myself.

i dont give a *** how much I drive, If i had it my way i would put the odometer in the garbage can and just have like little cellphone bars instead, when the bars get low I go to a dealership. But since I do have an odometer I average around 5000 miles a month and my mpg is around 10.

I bought my 03 in Jan with 37000 and now it has 55000. If i find myself with nothing to do and the weather is nice I go for a drive for a few hours. I live in MA and my GF lives in NJ. Nothing personal, but I fcking hate Trenton.

I try to not drive unless I really need to go somewhere. Why waste mileage and gas??

Bought mine at the end of April...21K on the ODO.

As of today just rolled over 38K. I'd say I was on the same track as you OP but now I've got a DD so I don't have to put 100 miles a day on my car to and from work.

Wow I don't feel so bad after reading this thread. I thought I put a lot of mileage on my Z. I daily drive 100 miles round trip to University of Houston and I have about 13,000 miles on my 07. I bought it last year around this time.
