A windshield -- and driving off-road like that... maybe you should put tear-offs on it, so you can just peel one off every so often and keep it shiny!

CRIKEY! That's a lot of mileage in a short amount of time! Did you have to replace the injectors in that timeframe?

> 100k in 46 weeks!

Assuming you drove seven days a week, that averages to 310 miles a day. At 65 MPH, that's about five hours a day of driving per day! Dang, it takes me over 14 years to put 100k on my cars.

I've put in 550-850 each day, the last 6 days. Took last night off. Let the car rest in the driveway

Interesting as some have posited that 2015s had injector issues that were corrected in later years. Maybe it was just a fluke on yours. I guess time will tell as the mileage rolls on other years.

So what's the reason for high mileage? Retired and just enjoy driving to locations? Use the car for deliveries?

I'm at 76k miles and knock on wood, injectors seem fine. No CELs and last tank was 46 MPGs

Yeah terrific otherwise. The CEL didn't come on and only then solid and intermittently when 3 Injectors were on their last leg. Otherwise no sign except sometimes the car while on cruise control would lug enough that it would kick off the cruise control. Oh. Courier of sorts. Yes.
