I thought it would be interesting to know how much Carspinners drive?

I'm right at about 20,000 miles/year. I don't commute a ton but do drive a lot to go do things (ski, bike, hike, road trips).

I put 5-10k. I used to drive a lot more, but since I bought my house, which is closer to where I work, my annual miles dropped by more 50%.

If I commute 5 days a week 52 weeks out of the year that would be right around 6500 miles. But I have ~23 vacation and floating holidays and 11 scheduled holidays so its probably closer to 6,000 miles from commuting. I don't travel much anymore so I probably do about 2-3k a year in "leisure" travel (mostly around football season...going to 7 homes would equal ~1000 miles by itself).

For me around 3O thousand.  My commute each way back and forth to work is about an hour.  Plus take several (around 10) road trips.  Even with that never gotten over 200,000 miles on a single car.

Before I retired it averaged 20000 to 25,000 miles a year.

Since I retired it is probably around 10,000 to 15,000 a year

Since working in the city, i bike to work or take public transit if the weather sucks.  I think I've put like 500 miles on my car in the last 3 months, if that.

Kizashi: 8,000 mi. in 2013 and 4,600 mi. so far in 2014
SV650S: 4,200 in 2013 and 4,600 mi so far in 2014

I'll probably put on around 12k total this year between the two vehicles, but likely the majority on the motorcycle. Which is awesome (45 mpg yo)

I'm thinking around 12K-13K between 3 vehicles.  6-7K on the Mustang, 3-4K on the winter rat, and ~2K on the bike is typical.

I'm at 10-15k miles. It used to me 20+ but my commute to work is far shorter now. Also relatives now live a lot closer to me than before.

I drive fucking everywhere.  I'm over 25,000 miles per year.

Isn't it kind of hard to drive while fucking? I guess with that mileage, you're well practiced.

Last 3 years it was ~8,000 a year due to virtually no commute and only occasional trips. The last 12 months have been around ~24,000 miles (20,000 of them on the Passat since I bought it a little under a year ago). More commute now but less everything else driving so I'm betting I'll be back below 10k a year again soon.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

About 10,000-12,000 km per year.

That's it?  Aren't you driving all over the place for different car photo shoots?  You should go on the autobahn more  :lol:
