We all have different uses for our cars, but we all want them to be around for a while. Track car, weekend car, summer, car, commuter, beater, daily driver, etc...
How much mileage a week do you put on it and what do you use it for?
I am at about 320 miles a week. It's a daily driver, commuter car, with some fun driving on the side? I know this is driving alot and I may not have it 6 years down the road, but I am enjoying every day.
How aboout the rest of you guys?

I don't drive my S14 as much as I used to anymore. Its now like a pleasure driving car. For everything else (daily commute etc.) I use my 1984 Toyota Truck SR5!

I'm lucky if I get 400 miles a month in my car <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

I would say right around 320 a week also. I would like to have another car for daily stuff, like back and forth to work, just to keep the miles off my S14, oh well. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

probably avg 15 miles a day during school, and 30 a day during the summer, add in various trips to the track and i usually put on 8-10k a year

I've had the car for about 10 months and added about 10,000 miles... So the average is about 1000 miles per month. But lately I've been filling up on gas about three times every two weeks, so I think I'm driving over 300 miles per week now. <:\ Dang I want a beater.

between my celica, MB, and 240.......
celica for commuting (soon to be sold) so MB.... M-F 40 Mil
Weekend- ~50-60 or if I go for a drive ~150
240 (just got it) put about 200 on it in a weekend at that's it, I have to save up my miles for trips to LA, insurance limits my miles that way I can save $200
Total 200+50~150 = 250 to 350 a week <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

I have an odd job. I am a manager at Dominos, and when I manage, I only put like 200 miles on my car. But then sometimes I deliver pizzas (tips plus my salary <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> ) and that can get to like 400 miles a week.
Then.. the trips to family... but on average... 200 miles a week. Eww!
I put 34k miles on my car in 23 months. But that will cool off when I go to college. And hopefully get a beater car to come home for the weekends (100mile drive)

hmmm...bought mine roughly 2 1/2 years ago when it had just over 86,000. Now it has close to 124,000...which equals a total of 38,000 (and change) miles to date....19,000 a year.
I could give two craps though cause as soon as it's paid off, I'm buying a beater, putting the S14 in storage and starting my project.....*big grin*....can't wait.
