Crossed 9K Miles on it this morning. Even with the ocassional weekend drive I still baby this thing... I doubt I'll hit 10K in a year of ownership.
Well since we had a plant shut down for months this year I will come in at a 10 year record low of about 35K this year. I hit 10K about 3 months into owning it.

Closing in on 15k and that's 6 months of driving. In the winter I drive one of my two trucks. So she is parks for 6 months. Next month I'll have owned the car 1 year!

Granted most of my driving is my daily to and from work, which is about 50 miles there and back. I do most of my errands on the way home so I'm never that far out of my way. On my days off everything in town is within that 25 mile range of work so it's like I'm driving to work if I go anywhere.


Only long drives are down to L.A. or up to the Sequoias or over to the beach, but those are all within 200 miles of me.


Also on the topic of that head unit Parappa posted, I could get it, a DVR, a mic, and a backup camera for it for under 400$. I just might go ahead and do that. Having music and maps on the unit instead of my phone would save a lot of battery on trips.

Not today, but last night, I reached 10,000 miles (16 March 2015 purchase date). Tcoat's got me beat on the annual mileage, but he's not the only 30K per year commuter & daily driver.

Just hit 2500 miles and a little over a month! At this rate, it'll be 30k miles by this time next year.

Only thing holding me back, gas prices. Yes yes, Cali folks and peeps in Europe have it harder at $4/gal and $8/gal respectively. But still!

The blue is easy on the eyes and help at night, but the wide angle kind of throws you off at first. After a few days it's actually really helpful. When you set them up, make sure the inner edge of the mirror shows just the edge of your car's butt. No more sneaky cars in your blind spot.

Very easy to install. Basically just push the mirror in all the way until you can slip your fingers behind it, and pull out. You'll hear some pops as the mirrors release from the clips. To install, just line up the clips and push until you hear more popping. Takes a bit of force but pretty simple. Enjoy!

Went to go grab an important document in the car. Sat down in the seat and looked back to see the soda can that I forgotten in there had exploded. Luckily, it exploded sideways (dunno how that happens) so it only hit the side bolsters of both seats. Oh, it collected mostly in the cupholders!

I've been wanting to clean the interior but been too lazy to do so....
