FD usage?

Just wondering how many miles you guys/girls put on your cars in a year? Or is your FD a 2nd vehicle you use only when weather permits?

I got mine in the end of July and have put 4K on it. But 1K of those came on the drive home when I bought it.

Mine is has been my daily driver / commuter vehicle of choice since I bought it on 01.10.00 w/ 83K miles and it now has 112K+ miles on the odo.
Note: this includes 3 months in the shop last spring for rebuild & mods. during which I had a T-II loaner!

Bought mine about 4 years ago at 44k miles. Now has about 72k miles. So, less than 10k a year.

I don't look to not drive the car, I figure if I'm going to pay all this money modding it and keeping it running I'm going to drive it. I just don't have the opprotunity to drive it all that often.

all purpose vehicle

i bought my car 1 1/2 months ago, and have since put 4k on the car. I use it as a daily driver, plus a car to cruise down 1st st. by the beach on sunny afternoons to catch some local bunnies

I know in a few months, i will begin to slow down and drive it less, but heck, im 18, and in college, i need to enjoy life, no?

i have just under 30k on mine. i was living in new york city at the time i got it so i only drove it on weekends. however, it has been my only car since i got it. bought it as a new car but leftover model from the dealer in october 1996. it is a totally base model, no sunroof, foglights, rear wiper, etc. From what i understand, it was one of, if not the very last, new (meaning unused) RX-7s in the country at the time.

hmm ... let see...

i put anywhere between 5~25k/year. its all depends on whether i have g/f or not. hehe... j/k

as a second driver, i put 3~4k a year. but as soon as i get rid of this freaking three puck clutch, itll be my daily driver.
