*POLL* How many miles are on your car?
 

If you have more than one car, check mark all answers before submitting (I allowed it)

Screenshots welcome, encouraged if your over 200k

This is just something interesting id like to see since we all drive our cars pretty lightly they must last way longer than average...

I took the liberty to add "200k to 250k". Hope that's ok with you.

I'm less than 2K miles to 200k right now.

I dont understand what you mean

RandomFact314 -

The poll was missing the "200k to 250k" option.

Oh, I didn't know you could do that, haha. Thank you.
I am at ecomodder alot but I still dont know who the admins are...

EVERYONE knows we have only the finest Pokemoderators here! :thumbup:

Someone over a quarter million, very impressive!
My 1988 Pontiac Fiero had about that much before the wreck, I wish so bad I would have taken a picture of the odometer before I sent it off to the junk yard, here was the last picture I took of it, quite a while before the wreck...

Just under 117k right now in my Geo, but I've put on 7800 miles in the 15 weeks I've owned it (that's about 520 miles per week). Luckily I get 50 MPG so I'm only at the gas station once every 5-6 days generally.

Just wondering why that poll is adding up to 225% instead of 100% haha

I deliver pizzas, I put about 60 miles a day on that neon, and now starting with the Accord...

You can vote for more than 1 option (for those of us with more than 1 vehicle).
When I was delivering a couple years ago I averaged 60-80 miles per day, I feel your pain.

You feel like your ruining your car right? I did with the neon anyways...

I did it with my last Geo Metro (94 2-door 5-speed 1.0) and I ran it into the ground. I drove it harder than anyone I know. It wasn't uncommon for me to come back from a delivery with mud slung on my roof and the sides of my car. Hell, I even hit a curb at 25 MPH once because I cut the corner too tight and ended up driving on 2 wheels for a couple seconds. I treat my 95 Geo much nicer and don't drive it hard much.

I have a 95 SL1 5spd manual steering and everything else with 93,500mi

87,354 Km today ( 54596 miles)


I think it would've been better to ask: how many miles on your engine

531,000 miles so far, 140,000 miles of that with aeromods.

The TDI just turned 240k miles.

Lets see...

Prius = 65,000
Paseo = 90,000
Aveo = 108,000
Tercel = 207,000

Almost 7,000. It was my grandpas for a few months and i've been driving it since December.

actually I like how many are on the body of the car, if you have been though 4 engines, thats pretty cool... This is no only a place to brag about your miles, it also shows who like their car enough to keep it for 300,000 miles

105,340 miles on the Jeep. It had 99,820 on it when I bought it at the end of January. The gas mileage may suck, but I love it anyway!

As far as driving gently vs hard, being hard on an engine doesn't actually shorten its lifespan, and by running it hard (even if it's just an occasional Italian tuneup), you keep the rings seated well, and it carbons up less. That is, assuming it's well maintained and in good mechanical condition. Hard running can shorten a tranny's life a bit though.

2009 Vibe = 19K
2004 Vibe = 135K
1999 Malibu = 165K

Poll options spacing: You're doing it wrong.

http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/im...v=mpbl-1&px=-1

You're suggesting that the difference betweeen 10k and 90k is just as important as the difference between 310k and 390k. Not so. Next time use geometric spacing where the next poll option is x times bigger than the previous.

[/math lesson]

I'm pretty sure I've crossed 50k by now. The car's odometer only shows up when I'm not using the segment fuel consumption display, which is very seldom.

Wow! Those Honda Civics sure do last!

I've got 320,000+ on mine; speedo is intermittent currently though I'm still tracking via GPS... probably closer to 325,000 miles.

Purchased it with ~300k on the clock; still runs smooth as ever

286k on my del sol/civic

Im not suggesting that anything is better than anything else, I am just seeing how many miles are on each car here

besides people like different things, like some people will brag about having over 500,000 miles and some will brag about having 500 miles on their car

Im wasn't trying to make anything a contest

My 94 VX is just about to hit 60k miles, salvage rebuilt, bought in March 2008.

The Fiberfab Migi (53 TD replica) kit on a 73 VW donor has 64k miles on a 1973 model.

The 2008 Altima Coupe has 20k, still in the shop being rebuilt, also a salvage vehicle.

The car is around 170,000 and the truck has been rolled past the max several times so I went with 250,000-300,000. It is hard to keep track of miles on a farm truck when you are the second owner.:eek:

1997 Toyota Corolla 1.6L 3 spd auto
196,000 miles
Switched to all synthetic fluids about 5,000 miles ago. I think my car really likes it. Consistantly above 30 mpg except in winters when it gets cold and I make short trips going to school. I am going to install an engine block heater this fall.

I am currently on a road trip in Jacksonville, FL. We are going home to Arlington, TX this weekend.

Arlington, TX to Jacksonville, FL: 33 mpg average, 60-65 mph, ac on the whole time (we had the dog with us). The best tank we averaged close to 36 mpg going about 55 with ac on.

When we get home I am going to replace the differential fluid that I didn't realize my car had. Whoops! Thinking about changing my synthetic oil at 6,000 miles (this will be my 2nd refill with Mobil Synthetic for High Mileage Vehicles 5w30 with Mobil Filter)

306k km / 190k miles on my Jetta.

It's currently laid up to solve an electrical gremlin and re-cert for another province.

Regarding that engine/body comment ...

I bought my car in 2006, and then VW re-released (in Canada, at least) the "City" Jetta/Golf - same Mk IV body style as my 2000. So, when the body on mine eventually goes, I'll carefully consider the option of buying a newer 2007-2009 City Jetta, since it should be close to 99% compatible with my car's shell, and around 8 years newer, with Greta's little ticker still running the works.

I'm assuming you meant 'VW'? :D

Just about 445,000 miles on my VX now.

;)

Fixed it fer ya, LOL.

I just got my vehicle in April, so it has less than 3000 miles on it.

My last vehicle had 148,591 when I got rid of it. That is by far the most miles I have ever put on a vehicle.

Awesome!! That's 3 Civics with over 300,000 miles... and I'm the one that has some catching up to do! Mine's barely broken in!

Mine just recently passed the 150k mark. Still plenty of life left, and I'm hoping she'll see 300k!

Hopefully it counts for Accords too so my car will last that long also, I think it will, it has 153k and still runs great, only problem is the transition shifts kinda hard

My buick has 181K on it. Should be good for a few more.

Accord is sidelined with bald tires and 315,000 on the clock. Driving the Uranus now, and just hit 110,000 miles.

Just shy of 189k on my SL1 right now. Hopefully will be swapping out the autotragic MP6 for an MP2 5-speed.
