    At this rate it would take me about 25 years to hit that mark.

    I don't get close to even putting 1000 miles on a year... I won't drive it to work because of the concrete plant across the street so it only goes out to car shows and such...

    2009.5 MSM GXP 500ish N/A RWHP. Mods include but aren't limited to: Texas Speed 418 (6.8L) fully forged held together with ARP from top to bottom, PRC 255cc heads, Rick Crawford intake plenum, TB port, polish and tune, Roto-Fab 102mm CAI w/LS7 MAF, Kooks 1-7/8" headers wrapped with DEI, Corsa catless system, Circle D 3200 Stall, 3.45 final drive, BMR's complete street bushing kit and sway bars, Eibach Pro Kit, G-Force Axles, running on staggered VMR 710's with Bridgestone RE11 rubber. HSV triple gauge pack with Calais smokers kit mod, V6 tails, debadge/rebadge, V6 door handles, AU black door trim, Maverick Man under hood strut covers, & washer and bolt kit, fully corrected paint thanks to Adams Polishes and my hard work. Built with reliability in mind with some power for those times when you need to pass or go over a big hill. Just a poser, not a racer!

    I'm the same way. I would say about 20k miles were put on in the first 3 years I had the car. We use the wife's car a lot more now and I have a beater to drive too.

    I put less than 200 miles on mine the past 6 months. Was not exactly intentional though I will start putting a few more on now. Any day that is not precipitating is fair game! Maybe even some days that are.
