So her vehicle takes the hits on the miles, which I'm not completely upset about.

My wife won't ride in mine either so her's gets all the together miles.
Mine is mostly my longish commute to work.

Same, I rather just pass it on to someone who is going to benefit from it. Wasn't too long when I posted my Whiteline Transmission Bushing on the pass it on thread, and I sent DarkPirate my shift knob after upgrading to a Raceseng one.

I have very short commute, relatively speaking, about 25 minutes one way. With a slight diversion on my way back home for the Gym. I usually hit the month maintenance period before the miles.

Mine is only 40 minutes but 95% of it is done between 75 and 80 MPH.
