At my age probably in the million mile club. I did put 338,000 miles on a 1991 Toyota Corolla All-Trac in the 60 months it took to pay for it!

I probably have about 20000 km or 12.5K miles.

BUT....

If you add that the the 5 km I ran a lot when I was 19-21 I have:

12.5K + 125/yr*2 yr*(3.125 mi) = 13280 miles approx

Here is my list and description:

67K 95 Mazda B2300 (drove until it cost more to fix than I got for the trade in)
28K 99 F-150 (second vehicle right now)
20K 99 Hyundai Sonata (wife's old car)
15K 84 Nissan/Datsun Pickup (187K miles on truck then the motor blew up)
16K 04 Mazda RX8 (running better than ever)
10K 95 F-350 Dually (father's truck until I got smacked by a rig)
9K 92 Ford Explorer (mother's old ride)
5K 99 Ford Taurus (mother's current ride)
2K 02 F-350 Dually (father's current truck)
2K Miscellaneous

174K and I've been driving for 8.5 years, started at 15. That makes me a 20.47K/year driver. I've accumulated more than that in just the past 11 months.

1993 Honda Accord: 30k miles
2001 Honda Civic: 40K miles

Wow exactly 100k miles since I was 16...7 years of driving, makes for about 14,000 miles a year...

EDIT
I almost forgot about the 10,000 miles I drove throughout the Iraq/Kuwait region during the war...
