I've got 145K on my '02 Chevy Trailblazer and my wife has 35K or so last time I looked on her '07 Audi Q7

The 2004 Suburban basically does 20K per year, and it's pretty much only used for skiing. I commute via the LIRR so it sits home most days. We purchased it in November of 04 and it has 75K so we're pretty much on schedule.

I'd really love to upgrade to the hybbrid suburban, now that gas is so expensive...

220,000 on my 98 Bonneville SSEI. That car doesn't owe me a dime. The only thing that sucks is I have to put in premium gas. Ouch.

I'm guessing that if it's a '98 that it's alll paid off, so the extra $$ for premium is still way less than a monthly payment for a new car!

Premium gas these days is a real bargain. Compared to when gas was in the 1 -> 2 dollar range, the percentage higher than regular is much lower. Thats because they've stayed with the 20 cents or so higher than regular formula. We should prolly all be putting in premium

106K, Honda civic

previously, I had 109k on a ford escort hatchback, great gas mileage and I could fit anything in that hatchback. I totaled it due to icy conditions....I missed that car.

That's the way I look at it. It's also a really fun car to drive too.

Right now I'm having a problem with the #1 cyl misfiring. Gonna replace that fuel injector tomorrow, already tried everything else I can think of. The sticker runs out this month, if that doesn't work I'll get a rejection sticker and drive it the 90 days I'm allowed and then get rid of it.
