Reached 17,000 in 6 months

Rockstar

I feel bad for my car, but man commuting 110 miles everyday can only be done by the z. I have an old 98 Honda Crv, I used to drive this for commuting purpose but it stressed me out having to deal with the traffic and such.

It is so hard to resist the temptation for not driving the Z. That why today I have reached 17,000 in just 6 months time. Although I really take a good care of my car, I really do feel bad about it.

Maybe I should drive my CRV again tomorrow.. or maybe next week.. err hmm perhaps it will be my new year resolution to spare the mileage on my Z..

if your not planning on selling the car its not a big deal ( IMO ) so long as you dont mind the upkeep, otherwise i would say drive the crv!

Cars are not financial investments. Drive the thing! Why pay for car, title, insurance, etc to leave it in the garage. Sorry, the Z is not expensive and depreciation is not that significant.

In 4 years it will be worth mid teens. low teens with high mileage. So he would be saving ~$500 to $1000 a year by leaving it in the garage? Not worth it to me.

just my $0.02....

It all depends on whether or not he can afford to replace it. 34k miles/year, the car will be worthless in no time. Depreciation is not significant? On what planet? If you think his car will only be worth $4k less with over 130k on the odo, think again.

I drive the exact same number of miles every day and with about 2 1/2 hours a day in the car who the F*** cares about depreciation. I replace my cars every 4 years and I drive what I want.

For you guys that don't see it that's a 1 years worth of a 40hr week for every 4 years on the job. If I'm going to in the car that much I want something nice and fun.

I agree with you wife put about 300km a day on the cars. drive it like you love. Cars that sit around get sad.

Thanks...I lost him about 3 years ago at age 11 but I still like to keep his baby picture around.. If he was here he would be riding to work with me, he loved cars.
