https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/another-100-000-mile-rx-8-road-124921/ Do the math, my avg is just over 3,200 a month. So long as you can afford the gas why not rack up the miles.

if it's for work and they're footing the fuel bill, have fun!

but it will cost you on resale value if you have a ton of miles.

Since your in the vinicinty Watkins Glen is the place you want to take this car. With good tires the 8 more than holds it's own on a road course. There is is still room for you to go in three weeks.
