My odometer reads 53,652 on my 1995 Lexus ES300. So in the ten years I've owned the car, I've averaged 4,471 miles per year. I installed a satillite radio in the car this month, because I broke the antanae two years ago, and we can't pick up radio signals when we're in the mountains or far from radio signals. The car is still in good shape and problem free, so I think I'll keep it for another year. How about you? How many miles a year do you drive? Anything special about your car you like or dislike?
CJane, A dependable car is a blessing. They're making cars with better quality now days, so we can look forward to keeping our cars for over 100,000 miles. I should live so long. LOL
Most of my driving is in the city, so my milage is not all that good - prolly about 15 miles/gallon. Since I don't drive all that much, it's cheaper for me to keep driving this ten year old car with low mileage than to buy another car with good mileage. I spend about $500 a year on gas.
I have a 2001 Honda Accord, with 6 cylanders. I probably drive around 6,000 miles a year. It is very comfortable, although a bit noisy for my taste. It drives beautifully, although the gas mileage is nothing to write home about. I previously had a Toyota Camry, with 4 cylanders, which got great mileage, so I suppose I was a bit spoiled.
the porsche 911--put about 2,000 miles on for the year (replaced the complete engine)
toyota pickup, 8,000 miles, zero maitainence(oil changes only)it's an 01 with 32,000 miles.
Diane's Chrysler PT bought in March 04 now has 8,000 (driven as fast as she can get away with)
I've got an 01 Nissan Maxima SE I bought in February, had 34K on it. Now it's got 56K, so well over 20K in a year right now. Outside sales...
Nothing crazy I like or dislike about the car, I bought it because I wanted a FWD reliable Japanese car with a V6. It's a little boring compared to the last couple of cars I've had.
Walter, I have never driven on the autoban, but I've seen some speeders zipping by while on a tour bus. I remember one incident where the traffic was stopped for an accident, and the police car rode on the 'extra' lane.
My wife drives a 1994 Honda Accord. She talks about buying another car, but won't make the committment. I stopped looking for her. She likes smaller cars, so I told her she should get a Lexus IS300.
Apropos driving the Autobahn: Walter, I hope you'll
coach cicerone beforehand that he's allowed to drive
the left lane only to pass slower cars, otherwise
they're up his rear end only inches apart.
When I visit Germany it takes me 3 days to adjust
to their driving which is quite offensive to say the least.
Then again, upon returning to the States, I was driving
down the freeway speeding at a 120 m/h until I realized
where I was.
