I drive a ton.

My DD (2007 Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer 4X4 V8) gets about 57,000 kilometrs per year (40,000).

I drive the Boxster about once per week, on sunny weekends. When I take it for a drive, I'll go for 500-600 kilometers, then park it till the next weekend.

I drive 30miles or so each way for work. So typically ~60miles a day 5 days a week. Sometimes hundreds more on the weekends.

I expect somewhere around 20K a year on the boxster. That's what the previous owner did and I will do the same.

65,555 as of today.

*note* I run it to redline many times per trip, I-90 is 70mph where I am and I rarely go that slow. I always take it easy until the motors up to temp, but then wring the hell out of it. the little 2.7 still runs great.

My schedual alternates, based on the day of the week, but it averages out to about 25 miles a day. If you subtract roadtrips from that it's about 18-20 miles a day.

(I hit 35K miles today!!! )

my daily commute is about 100 kilometres/62 miles round trip - of which 65k/40mi is two lane, mountainous road.

those 40 miles are usually the best part of my day...

Both of our P-cars are mainly weekend toys or used on nice sunny days. When I do take them out I make sure they are driven long enough to bring it to normal operating temps. I do take both out to work once a week if weather is good. Work is about 22 miles round trip. Nice freeway ride to work but going home tends to be more stop and go.
