Am I the only one
 
Anyone drives an fr-s/brz for a driving job. I work as a courier and had my fr-s since last oct brand new with 5 miles only, not even a year and I put 25k miles already (duh soo sad). I spend many hours in my car all day everyday 5 days a week. Does anyone else put this amount of miles on their car. I average 150 miles a day. So far no problems (knock on wood).

800 miles a week. But that is commuting as I live in one city and work in two others.

I put about 21,000 miles per year on mine.

And THAT why I am waiting to run through warrenty before going FI. Burn through miles so fast won't be that long.

I've owned my car for 5 months and I've got about 10k miles on mine already.

Got mine for 15 months and put about 6k in her :P.

Outliers are >60k miles already (less than 2.5 years into the wild) but you are certainly a minority north of 20k miles per year, average US driver is ~10k/year last I checked, as enthusiasts odds are we drive our cars more as weekend trips to pickup a gallon of milk somehow turn into 3 hour joyrides, "sorry honey, got turned around".

Try 27 months and just under 7k miles. :D

OP - I actually run the opposite risk as you. I could have an issue pop up at 10k miles but I'd be out of the warranty period!

I'd say if you've gone 25k miles without major issue, you're in good shape for the next few years. Once you start modding the car however, all bets are off.

22K miles since late January, mostly highway miles.

I have also put 500 miles on the new motor in the Jeep and maybe 1000 on rental cars.
