I usually put about 12k miles on the car each year, but with the RX8 we're already at almost 9 grand and we've still got 6 months to go.

During school time, it's about 700/800km per week. About 3200km per month, and 32.000km per year.

Vacation, about 2000km.

My car is going to do 6 years, and has about 220.000kms
