    Default It is not how old you are but how many miles you put on.

    How many miles do you estimate you put on your vehicle(s) each month?

    Mrs. Armitage and I have one vehicle - a 2015 lava orange Toyota Rav 4* - it is pretty easy for us to figure the mileage since we bought it new.

    After 34 months it has 26,600 miles on it - so we put on about 780 miles a month.

    *Nicknamed Julius - we couldn't resist the pun. ^___^

    Used to be several hundred miles, now it's likely less than a hundred.
    - Where it's always 1995 (or so).

    I don't know how many miles I put on my ancient '97 Saturn beater, but I know it's a lot.
    Current mileage is 208K.

    I have a '89 Chevy S-10 Blazer with a 4.3L V6 and the Tahoe package and it has 245,000ish miles on it it's been in the family since new and was one of the first vehicles I drove and later first vehicle I owned. But I had to take it off the road 5 years ago sadly because of money. Still own it though.

    @Jake Armitage,
    This month's issue of 'Scary Monsters Magazine' features an article about Roger Corman's 1950s horror flicks, including your avatar.

    It ("The Undead" (1957)) is actually one of my favorite movies - hopelessly underbudgeted (but all of Corman's early stuff was) - but like many of his films it was cleverly scripted by Charles B. Griffith. Mel Welles as "Smolkin the Gravedigger" was my favorite character - although the Richard Devon "Devil" pic is much more intriguing. Allison Hayes and Billy Barty were also funny as hell.

    You may know this already but for the viewing audience at home the movie was originally made to take advantage of a very famous case (at the time) involving reincarnation.

    There is a pretty good book called "Brilliance on a Budget" that gives brief (but interesting) glimpses of Corman's early stuff.

    The wife and I put around 1000 miles a month on our daily drivers.

    2002 Hyundai Santa Fe 326,000 miles (Wife's beast that keeps going and going)
    2014 Hyundai Accent 35,000 miles (Mine)

    We also have a 2001 Ford F-150 XL that we put around 100 miles a month on. It is used primarily to haul and drives in the country. It has 245,000 miles on it and does a great job in its role. I guess I can include the garage queen that at the moment does 0 miles a month. It's a 1971 Volkswagen Bus Westfalia that I am slowly restoring.

    It's not really my vehicle, but I've drove over 127,000 miles with my 2015 Toyota Tacoma work truck. I believe I started driving in in May of 2015.
    A Black Falcon: no, computer games and video games are NOT the same thing. Video games are on consoles, computer games are on PC. The two kinds of games are different, and have significantly different design styles, distribution methods, and game genre selections. Computer gaming and console (video) gaming are NOT the same thing."
