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.

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."
