9-10k miles. If I'm not showing houses, I just drive around for no reason and end up at random meets. Or sometimes humbling the streets (Mexico 😉.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

Instead? I've become the total opposite since March 2020--a hermit hahahahahahahaha I feel lucky that my employer thrived during the pandemic and we've been able to work from home. I did like our office because it was a brand new building opened 6/19 and I finally got a garage parking space and a corner cube (not office they don't exist anymore)....but don't miss the commute... Yeah if I were 22 that's heading towards one's prime which I think is 29-31...so it's not the time to be cooped up at home...the virus s****.... |

It was rather funny when I took it in for a PA state inspection, I told them I'm exempt from emissions. The SA says did we do it last year? I said no but here's the receipt from another dealer. Then of course he was calculating to see that I was 5,000 miles or less, and came up with 280....even I find it comical and ridiculous, and also sad....
p.s. due to the pandemic and also the way our driveway is (one car has to leave for the others to get out), my wife's SUV is the main car and it did do a reasonable 7k in a year. Normally it would be 15k or so....and my DD would be about 13k, and the BMW probably at one time 6-7k but not recently in the last 5 years... |

And remember, performance mods rarely, if ever, help reliability.

I don't like modifying my cars. I like the OG look of the E9X |

I only used my 335 one time for a business road trip, and wouldn't you know it went into limp mode Actually it was a good thing because my extended warranty had 4 days left when that happened in late 2013 (I got the 7/100) |

Sometimes I wish my dad didn't sell his 98 Camry two years back. It had 185k-186k miles on it. He sold it because when it rained or snowed, water would seep in from the driver's side door (someone hit the door when he drove it to the city in a parking garage and it was dinged up). Other than that, the thing drove good. It did need a motor mount It's a 90s Toyota. Replacing motor mounts take about 30 min max. Before he sold it, he put about $1k into it . Got new rear wheel bearings put in, windshield and front brake pads + rotors and rear shoes + drums. Trans was running good and so was the engine. He sold it for $1,800 |

Pre COVID, 3,500-4,000 miles a year. Since August 2020, to today, April 2021, 8,000 miles. Due to Covid, public transportation near my home has been reduced. I now have to drive 42 miles a day to get to a bus, that takes me to work. So 210 miles a week. Before Covid, I was driving 10 miles a week. Hopefully bus service resumes near my home soon.
