ok, one more try. just curious to see what people typically put on a car on an annual basis. i find myself at about 10K per year. in 15 months of dublin living, we put on about 11,000 miles.

Sad... my commute is like 6 miles, and I do it on my bike quite often except during winter, but I still put like 25k miles on last year...

I'm at the low end of the travel scale. Rarely drive far. My truck has 27k since I bought it in Nov 2001. The farthest I've gone was a trip to Lake Placid this past fall.

damn, at that rate you get a hefty tax break.

2004 rates for business deductions is 37.5 cents per mile. $11,250 deduction. :monkey:
Is it that much? I never pay attention, I just give all my tax info to my accountant.

I put on 12-15K on my personal car each year, but rack up another 10-20k on company and rental cars.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Round trip to work for me is 68 miles
Plus lots of bike trips, etc.

I have already put 9,800 on my new car in just less than 6 months (and the sad part is, I drive my stratus almost everyday...those miles are just a handful of trips)! :eek:
