Default S2000 ownership usage?

So I was just wondering about how much do I really use my S. Most of you already know my car is pretty much a garage whore (I am passed calling it a garage queen ). Just running some numbers with all the time I have now with this new job .

The average American driver spends 443 hours each year behind the wheel

A little guess work involved on my totals.

We've owned the car since early January 04.

Total days owned approximately 1064. Total miles approximately 29,500.

Miles/day 27.73

Translation, we have more fun than paivag.

Owned the car since March 02

Appx days owned 1720, total miles about 24k

Ave/day: appx 14

Looks like I'm having less fun than Lainey, but more than George.

Going to take the car out for a bit today as it is around 60, but don't expect to put many more on till next spring. There goes the ave/day down!

Since I just got my current S a little while ago, I will go off my previous car.

Owned it for almost exactly two years =730 days
Milage 19800/730days=
27.12 miles per day.

I have about as much fun as Rick and Lainey

I bought my 04' in May of 05' with 1200 miles on her. I currently have her stored away with about 9200 miles...

2 summers at 4000 miles a piece. I am at the low end of the spectrum.

I've put about 5k on my car in 604 days. That's 8.28 per a day. Will someone please explain to me what this, "fun" thing is that everyone raves about?

Bought new on July 18, 2003.
Current mileage = 30,100
Avg. miles per day = 19

But, the car has been stored from mid-November to mid-April most years.

Today, I left the office to "run errands" With the top down, of course. Probably the last time this season, as it'll go down for it's long winter nap over this weekend.

I was surprised to come in at almost 23 miles/day. I dont drive it at all in the winters or on crappy days in the warmer months.

Its about 10K miles a year or so, out of my 16 - 18K I am doing overall. That might even out a bit more now that I got rid of my junker for the Ridgeline, which is a very nice ride.
