Default Mild winter

Here in the Northeast we've had a very mild winter. Almost no snow and very mild temperatures. As a result, I've been using my S2000 much more than in recent years. To prove my point, here is the list of miles I've put on the car in February for the last 10 years.

February 2003--- 63
February 2004--- 135
February 2005--- 73
February 2006--- 19
February 2007--- 9
February 2008--- 0
February 2009--- 32
February 2010--- 0
February 2011--- 0
February 2012--- 47

Total--- 378
Average--- 37.8

Clearly this month with 47 miles is the best February I've had in the last 6 years. This month I even beat the average. I'm really getting my money's worth out of the car this month. I am concerned though, if this keeps up I'll have another 100 miles on the car before Spring Fling.

Maybe I better not push it. What do you think?

Can't do it. It's raining and the S is sleeping in the garage.

I know, I know. After all these Februarys with very little miles, I couldn't believe the 47 miles myself. I have to cut back.

March came in like a Lion here in Vermont we have about a foot of snow on the ground and it's still coming down. Even though I will be dealing with cleaning it up for the next couple of days I'm still glad to see it it is very eerie having a winter without snow.

I'm more interested in the fact that you keep all those stats. But then, I know you need to for your frequent oil changes.

Winter has been pretty much a non-event around here. We are headed to Key West next week. I was assuming we'd be leaving winter, but that isn't the case. We're going anyway.
