    I've only owned my car 4 1/2 months, but I've put 2,200 miles on it so far. I figure between 5-6k per year. I bought it to drive not to stare at it.

    lets see,

    I've done two 30,000 mile services on my car during the time that it ran. The first one when I bought it, and the second one a year and a half later. the reason is I put 30,000 miles on it.

    I was averaging about 20,000 a year at the time and it was my daily driver. when I finally get it back together it will once again serve as my daily driver, and I expect to average about 14,000 miles a year.

    P.S. I am very happy with using it as my daily driver. That was my intention when I bought the car. I have the means and knowledge to do the Mechanical work myself, that does cut the service charges down to parts cost.

    I've put on 8,000 miles in 8 months of ownership equating to 1000 miles a month. The scary thing is that I never bring it to work, so the miles are from the night drives & weekend outings.
    Having a blast with it though.

    I put on just under 8k fcar miles last year. This year, with the rampage it will be more I bet. I bought the 360 to drive and expect to make a couple of good trips in Calif and up into the northwest as well as some long coastal drives.
    Funny thing is when I drove "lesser" cars my annual mileage was usually less than 5k. Go figure.

    I never get enough seat time in my 550.

    This Friday I drive to the Bay Area. The following Sunday I drive to Las Vegas. This will put on 1,500 miles or so.

    Bonzi, I get seat time. Hurray! Tears for the garage queens.

    Only drive 12 cylinders
