Well i finally got a job and now i have to drive 55 miles a day round trip.It cost me about 50.00 a week in gas.Now it seems my car needs alot of stuff replaced. I just had to change water pump and now front brakes,wheel bearings,new brake lines.How many miles do you drive every day or week?

 

16 each way 32 rt.
My 7 starts every day, rain or shine, snow (drove through two Wisconsin snow storms this year) or sun. Hot or cold (coldest day -15 degrees).
I'll post some pix on Monday.
I just love hearing how these cars need tons of maintenance/tough to work on

 

MY 7 is my daily driver for now, but I only have to drive 16 miles aday, 4 days a week. So it's not bad. By next year I'll have a new daily driver and she'll be my weekend toy. I got it 2 months ago with 92k miles, now it's got 93,000. I want to keep it under 100K for as long as possible...lol

 

About 5.4 each day. That is, if you add up all the miles I drove last year and divide by 365.

 

I was driving about 110 miles a day round trip... Did that for about 2 months and then bought my new WRX.

110 miles a day was OK... but I would drive to our 2nd home on the weekend and that was 400 miles round trip including 2 hours stuck in Houston traffic... That was fatiguing and got old.

22 MPG was the best I got. Car ran great all the time... I just added fuel and oil and go!

 

i put about 1500 or so miles per year on the 85 GS..

 

on a regular day.. maybe 20-30 miles just from school, work and home

 

Thats nice.As of now i have 203,087 miles on my 1979.Still runs real strong.Its just time for some love.

 

I do 110 miles a day commuting in my daily driver 85 GSL. Been doing the same commute for the last 9 years in one of my various 84/85 GSL DD's:

The Tan One:



The Brown One:



The White One:



The Silver One:

 

havent had a DD 7 for a few years now, but from 1995 to 2005 i put 20k a year on several different 7's.

they are the BEST cars in the world to DD, they are the most reliable and cheapest to run out of anything.

 

no idea how many miles i drive but it's driven every single day, and sometimes several times a day, regardless of weather.

 

I think that is the first picture I have ever seen with your car NOT having aligned wheels

 

Yeah the alignment adjusters on the Brown One didn't work that well.

 

My SA gets about 200 miles a month put on it. I try not to drive too much to keep the mileage lower. I put the miles on my FC. About 500 a month for it.

 

3000 mi per yr, driving every sunny day (wot? rain? no way!) I can.... May thru Sept....
work outta the house, so any dumb excuse I can think of to drive


Stu Aull
(pampered) 80GS
Alaska

 

a little under 3k for me. mostly to the race track and little trips. most of the miles get put on my DD protege.

 

mine is at 285k miles... i it was my dd for around 9 months until i finally swapped out the motor i blew in my powerstroke and put a stocker back in (i lifted the heads on the first one runnin 45 lbs of boost) i would drove 40 miles round trip to work. and now that i work offshore i drive it 120 miles to our office alot of times. i run the ever living **** out of it any chance it get and hasnt failed yet(knocks on wood) besides destroying the ORIGINAL clutch that was in it right after i got it. or they said it was the original but i doubt it. now that i got sticky tires and im starting to up the power i predict that things are gonna start breaking

 

and btw mr green. u sir have too many rx7s and should donate one to me hahaha... that white one is absolute sex and would look great with some white/polished 13 or 15 inch meshies

 

My car is only driven when I come home from abroad once or twice a year.
But it always starts right up and is dead reliable.

 

yall are killin me with the white ones.... making me wanna go find a white one to contrast the black one i already have

 

40 miles per day round trip for work, plus other trips here and there, mostly to races. Then I drove down to the DGRRX meet, and put on 2,400 miles over 5 days. Currently at 240,000 miles.

work from home here.....my 84 GSL-SE gets about 20 miles a day in the summer

 

Last year I put just under 10k on my 7. This year it's about 700 so far. I need to roll my fenders and figure out why my brakes are so soft before driving her any further.

 

I put 3 ot 4K a year on it. Mostly day trips around the southeast (Xroads meets, OGTA meets, B3R, Mitty,
Zoomfest, NCRotaries meets, etc).

I have 107K on it now.

 

I drive mine four miles a day to work and back. Its cheaper and easier for me to take public transportation so she will be going into Sunday driver mode soon. In September I will drive to Sevenstock with my fiancee so I will put about 6k on the car in a weeks time. Im looking forward to it, especially that I have a sunroof now!
