Hm. A good estimate would be north of a quarter million. I don't do many trips, but I did deliver auto parts for a couple of years in a 92 Ford Ranger and 89 Chevy s-10. I put the hurt on those two. I did delivery for a body shop supply company in an 90 Ford Ranger, and that poor truck had 300k and a rebuild or two when I got hold of it. I heaped more mileage on it as well, probably about 60k.

As for my cars, it's harder to determine. That 250k up there is conservative, but a good guess.

I am 26... let's see here

1999 Mazda 626 - 10k miles

1996 Ford Escort - 50k miles

2003 Honda Civic - 140k miles

2004 Ford Escape - 15k miles

1990 Mazda Miata - 15k miles

1996 BMW 318Ti - 10k miles

2009 Nissan Xterra - 35k miles

Total? = 275k miles! (~11 rotations of the earth!)

Age 65+, I've averaged 40k+ a year for 48 years. That makes it somewhere north of 1.6 million. Too many cars and trucks to count. On a side note, I've logged more than 50K on track in various race cars.

I put 6K on my old ZX-2 Escort between July '09 and July '10, another 5K on the Mini since getting it in July '10, and I have no idea how many on the Miata since getting it this past late September/early October but it's probably in the 2K-3K range by now, with more than a few of them being either outright competition or real hard street driving

Almost 26, and between my parents hating to drive, me loving to drive, even if I have nowhere to go, working for a car dealer for three years, and having all my college friends move 3+ hours away, I'm pretty sure I'm already at 100 or 120K. 10K miles is the average for a passenger car for a year, right? Yea, at least 120K.

Nearest estimate I can conjure is about 550k miles. I'm 27, licensed since 16, drove box trucks professionally for a few years.

I really should've kept better track of all this.

I'm coming up on 44 faster than I want to. Remembering all the cars isn't going to be possible. I have averaged over 60K a year on my work trucks for the last 10 years so there is 600K. My first job out of school was driving all over the south east inventorying tools for a construction company. That was another 100k a year for four years. That puts me at a million. If you add in all the mileage I have put on my personal vehicles I've got to be close to 1.5 million.

Damn, I drive too much.

Crap. I started out riding minibikes at age 5. At 52, if I tote up all the vehicles I've owned and driven I'm figuring over a million miles easily. I will guesstimate 75K of those were on dirt bikes (they rarely have odometers). Dayumn that's a lotta miles.

I was droning along Rt. 340 on the way from Summit Point back home to DC suburbs not long ago. I was adding up miles accrued lapping Summit Point between all the motorcycle racing, track days, instructing track days, time trials and racing cars. I figure it's in the neighborhood of 3500 laps, probably more, @ 2 miles ea.

I've driven sea to shining sea at race pace. Just on that track....

In my current job, where I've been for sixteen years, I drive every other day at least 20 miles for my rounds. Some days, I'll get 45 miles and never leave the compound. In personal life, at least 12K per year for too bloody long. 42 years' worth.

So...

work: about 37K and counting;

real life: 504K;

combined: about 541K.

A bunch more than I'd realized.

Almost 25, 6 vehicles, best guess on miles is 250k or so.

200k. Does it still count if the light would be on if it worked?

At 29, I'm only at about 105k on my own vehicles (can't be very precise about it, I drove my SE-R with a broken speedo cable for at least 2 years), but I can't account for all the miles I've put on my parents cars, which I borrow quite a bit since I've never owned anything that will accomodate large items.
