30k total per year between both cars. Around 8k of that on my S2000. Most of the miles are put on driving to tracks and on nice weekends. I only drive it to have fun with it.


Mine's an 00 with 24k. Bought it with 18K about a year and a half ago.

I've averaged 4K a year on my S. I feel bad for not giving it the attention it deserves. Each year I am trying to get it out more and more.

The rest of my miles are put on my DD Fit. Between 14K and 16K

my old daily commute was 50 miles/day... now its about half of that, but the same amount of time due to traffic. the time doesnt bother me, just the mileage i was putting on my cars

Agreed about the time. That's not so much of a big deal as it is the wasted miles. Pooh for long distance jobs.

At this rate I'm on track to put a whopping 2500 miles on the S this year if it's not sold by then. It's a fun car that I only drive when it's nice enough to leave the top down from the time I leave the house until I get home.

that's not much. Why feel bad? It's a fun car....enjoy it. If the weather was nicer in Illinois, I'd probably drive mine way more. I love driving it in the summer...even if it is just going to the store or something. I just dont like driving it places where there's a HIGH likelyhood of it getting vandalized, ran into, or door dinged (school, work, chicago if I'm parking for a while, etc.).

I put on a lot of my miles just going from home to the track and back. There's only one local track...the rest of them are atleast 100-200 miles away.
