My car was purchased in July 2006 and only has 1/3 the miles that you have on your car.. That's 15000 more than on our 95 GMC pickup.

Haha. Nice! People dog on me when i tell them I paid for the extended warranty, up to 110k miles.... BUT, here it is 5.5 months into owning my 2012 and I just rolled over 14,700 miles and did my second oil change. I'll run out of my bumper to bumper THIS YEAR. So I thought what the hell, might as well have normal people coverage for 3 years. Haha.

Proof that these cars were meant for driving! I'm at 42k after 418 days of ownership! I've slowed in mileage this month with my son being born and taking off work, but I'll be at full throttle again next month!
