Not really.

38,000 KM / 20 months = 1900 KM / month

me:
18,185 KM / 8 months = 2273 KM / month

...and I don't drive to work. booya! :D

MrJynx has us both beat. And if BrilliantBlack keeps it up he'll pass everyone in no time!

True! :D Although I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing

poor baby is being taken apart
what happened, Pete? I'm taking mine into the shop tomorrow to get an assessment on some damage to my rear bumper and driver side exhaust I got last august...finally got my tax return and the snow's going away so I figured I'd get it fixed

been there, done that...out one month back in September for an engine replacement.....otherwise I would have added a road trip to B.C. for a houseboat trip to my mileage count.


A Mazda 3 is no substitute for a RX8 going through Golden and the Roger's Pass!

I would have had WAY more KM's, but I stopped driving the 8 during the winter.. But broke down and started driving again after about a 2.5month stop.. If the day is nice i drive approx. 80km to work and back.. and then i always go out for a drive after work This car is way to addicting! I'll probaly double my current km after this summer
