Anyone ever done more than that. I hate myself

 

holy **** man.

 

ive put almost 5000 miles in 2 and half weeks...drove from coast of MS to new york, from new york to chicago,than to detroit, and around canada and than back home...

 

What's the matter with enjoying the ride? Do we always have to thinking about trade in time? Whenever I buy a car, it's a keeper. I once put 50K miles on a previous car in one year

since i got my car

been avg 4400miles a month.

got 20k on it already and picked it up in OCT

damn work.

 

I hope your job is giving you back at least 0.30 cents per mile. If not, I would consider getting a beater. I used to have a job that made me put 600 miles/week on my car. That's only 2400 miles/month. But still, I hated it because I was only driving to and from work. If it's for pleasure, then it don't matter to me

once you ad up stuff they pay for + base allowance it works out to 30-33 cents a mile which is fairly good , i'll i worry about is insurance payments, which is fairly expensive in my case.

But heh i get paid to drive my MAX all day long. even though that's something i would do for free

 

i can deduct most of my milage on my tax return, but still.

 

...starting a week after I bought the car. Did a roadtrip from Wisconsin to Arizona, California, up to Seatlle, WA and then crossed Idaho, Wyoming, etc back to WI.

Darn, I am still surprised on how much mileage I have put on my car right after I bought it.

Now, I am wondering....how do you deduct the mileage on your tax return? Any hints would be appreciated.

 

my old job i would put 100 miles on my old car per day .... but i got free 94 oct sunoco gas when it was ~$2.25 per gallon .. sweet deal if you ask me

 

last semester my commute to school was nearly 200 miles a day. 3 - 4 days a week + a lot of other driving, to work and such that i did as well..

800-1000 miles a week.

I put 12k miles on over the course of 3.5 months...

i'm at about 130k already

 

Jeez, u guys drive alot.

 

i put on about 50 miles+ per day commuting to school and to work

Ant

 

...your next posts might be...

WTB: Drivers Seat...
or
FS: Drivers Seat...6K+ miles.

 

time to start taking the train! - it would take me like 3 years to put 2K onto a car

 

i mean 6K ....

 

If you're self employed , you can deduct milage driven for business purposes as a business expense.

 

yes you can..

 

ive put 14,300 on my car since i got it in the end of last april, its a lease too so im trying to use it as little as possible right now

 

I'm in sales and i'm just starting to put a lot of miles on my car. But since august i've put on about 12,000 miles.

 

This summer, my wife was driving 1500 miles per week just for work.. 13,500 between over a 9 week span from June to August.
and that was JUST for school.. add another thousand or so per month in driving up to see me (before we were married)

 

Arghh.....

I am still in the paycheck-to-paycheck bandwagon.....
My job requires me to travel about 2 weeks out of 4 weeks in a month, on average. I still change my oil filter every 5k....that's about 2 months.....

I guess I just like to drive around...... Approaching 130k and going....

 

i put gas in my car once in january.

 

you are almost as bad as me..

6000 for 50 days thats 120 miles per day. beat you. i make 200-220 every day. i need a new job i know.. and cheaper gas

 

Hmmm let me see. 78,000 in December. Now I have 83,000. So yah, 5,000 miles in two months. A combination of visiting the girlfriend 20 miles away, and visiting my grandfather at home who has terminal cancer.

 

i need to pick up a beater

 

3500 in 4 days for me. The day after I purchased the car, too. Had to run to Kansas (from GA) for a funeral.

 

Wow 900 miles a day. The car must have been driven continuously!

 

Wow...some of you guys are crazy! hehe....would be good to get mileage back if it's for work though. In a period of 10 days or so year before last, I got something like $175 for making a few trips to a city 60 miles away from here.

I've put like, just less than 12k a year on my max since I got it. And I'm 21...that surprised me quite a bit. But I live 3 minutes from work, 2 minutes from parents place, and 7 minutes from school.

Used to put 25k a year on my previous hondas

 

People must enjoy the max to be putting that many miles in so little time.

 

One thing about the Max is that its comfortable as hell on the road.

 

....that's a lot

My biggest "frenzy" was 30,000 in 8 months

 

I'm a self employed network consultant - All miles drive to and from a client's site are reimbursed at 36.5c per mile. All miles driven on business, not billable to a client, I reimburse myself from my corporation, as a business expense - that way I don't pay tax on it.

Two weeks ago, I went to a client that's 195 miles away.
Total 390 miles = $142.35

I bought my max becuase I knew I woud be driving a lot and my Chevy Blazer gets about 16 miles per gallon - so I guess in a way, the max is my beater!

 

Or a temporary employee (contractor) as long as the job does not go over a year.

 

That is a horrible way to break in the engine, unless you were changing RPM every 5 min.
