Default How many miles do you put on your S in a month?

Just kind of a curiousity question, I'm sure it's been asked before.

I don't daily drive my S2000, and I've probably put 125-150 miles or so on it in the past month. I'm feeling withdrawl from keeping it in the garage though, but I don't drive it to work and don't drive it in the rain unless I get caught out. When the weather gets a little nicer, I will probably put around 100 miles a week on it.

I'm constantly torn between wanting to drive it all the time, and wanting to keep it out of the daily grind.

Earlier this month I put on an extra 450 taking a roadtrip.

Since purchasing the car in August 11, I have put about 6k on her. That is about a 8 month span. Works out to be about 750-800 a month.

Granted, I hardly drove it at all in December because of wintery conditions, and usually if it is supposed to rain I try to take alternate transportation and leave the S in the garage.

I used to leave it at home sometimes even when the weather was going to be nice, just to keep it clean. However, my beater vehicle is a 1993 Ford Ranger. It just does not compare, and fuels my desire to drive my S even more.

It seems about 200 miles a week. I just picked it up in Nov. and I've put right at 5K miles on it.

Also, hi from CSI.

I've put 4k miles on it since May. I'm doing rather well considering I put 30k on my Eclipse in a year and a half. My S is not my work horse and I do feel bad paying for a car and not driving it. But, when I do it's pure enjoyment everytime.

I've put 5,000 miles on mine since December 21st, lol. This was including a 2,500 mile trip though. So I guess somewhere around 1200 a month, -ish. For the people who put 1000+ miles on per month, does it drive you nuts everytime you see the odometer go up? Everytime I travel more than 40 miles a day I start thinkng "There goes a few less dollars in value and a few less miles of warranty."
