At least know I know that I'm not alone in this commute, and I know I'm going to enjoy the commute topless. But I'm figuring that I'm driving about 31K w/o any extra driving after work or w/e, as I sometimes have to drive an extra 50 miles during the day at work. I love a car "in warranty" and I thinking about garaging it 2-3 days/wk.

BWHAHAHA i picked mine up last tuesday and am about to hit the 1000 mile mark, and my commute to work is down the hall down the stairs across my office and into my chair, about 35 ft, so its all twisties and fun under 4500rpms of course 
for now 
oh yeah one road trip to southern california so far, lots of miles on that one and lots of fun.
My family has a 1990 Geo metro and it has like 370k on it, between me my dad, my sister and my mom, If I would have spent all of those miles in a mini, my happiness quota would be filled for 2.5 lifetimes.

I drive 75 miles to work, so put about 150 - 160 miles on a day. Picked up my 05 MC on 9/4/04 and have 9254 miles on it. ( we had a couple vacation days :smile: ) I bought the warranty and expect to be through it in about 2 1/2 years.
Here's a related question. What is the average mileage from service to service? At 9254 my counter shows 1925 yet to go to the first oil change.
