have i put too many miles on too fast?

ive had my new 03 for almost exactly 3 months. i've just passed 5000. using that rate, i figure in one year thats 20,000 miles. is that pretty steep? should i chill out a bit and not drive it as much as i do? then again i come from a family that had an 89 buick that had 63,000 miles when it was 11 years old.

I have had my car for 8 months and put 20,000 miles on my car. I can't wait to ruin this warranty so i can start doing stuff like turbo and K20.....but i don't think i'm even gonna wait that long.

When I took my trip to The Smokey Mountains from Cincinnati I put a little over 1400 miles on my 02 SI in 3 days. I drove all over the east side of TN.

6 months-18.5k I think thats more than most people that posted here.

All my friends suck at driving so I insist on driving, & I drive 60 miles a day to work, so yea I drive way too much. But no problems as of yet, not even any rattles, although I think my oem speakers are about to blow cuz they've started popping. Anybody know some good aftermarket 6x9s, Kenwoods or something good quality like that, for a good price?

Don't worry about it. YOu bought it to drive right?

I used to put 25k a year on my cars before I had a child. We used to take trips all over the southeast.

My car is 16 months old and has about 16500 now. We drive the wife's accord most of the time.


Quick Reply: have i put too many miles on too fast?
