Ok, so its been...

2 months and 6 days since getting my 03 CLs and ive already placed 8000km on it.

But i gotta say, its been the best damn 8000km that ive ever driven!! At this rate i will be placing 48.000km in one year. GEeeeez. Any of you drive this much? I didnt realized that i was driving this much at all. Then again, it is summer so weekend trips and such are more common. BUt still, it shellshocked me when i just found out.

i feel the same way man haha. i bought mine at 30,830 miles on my bday (nice self given present huh?) on 4/11..its now been 3 1/4 months and its at 35,150..plus i didnt drive it for a total of 2 and a half weeks of the time when i was out of town...i hate putting miles on cars but i dont do a lot of unnecessary driving.

however i did move about 20 minutes out of town on the highway last summer..so its about 20-25 miles just to go to the grocery store or anything else i wanna do...and i have a 15-20 minute commute to work each morning...so most of my driving is highway miles but im still not happy with the amount of miles ive put on my car so far...something like 1300 miles a month..yikes!!!

Yeah most of mine is HWY driving as well. I live about 50km away from work, so there and back is 100. Then if i go anywhere through out the day for work, or after, its added bonus. I do care a bit because as long as im still making payments i dont like to see the KM run that high, but again i bought it for a reason. So i guess it goes both ways. Just something about the CL... when you sit in it you and the car just want to go. Ive been in G35's, 323's and they are indeed nice, but i dunno... i dont get that feeling as i do with this. Yeah it sounds bias and such, but i dunno... maybe its the whole 2dr thing.

lol, I wanna see who can keep up with my pace. I travel 700-800 miles a week every week for the past 9 months I have had the car. I bout the car with 65,000 miles on it, I now am about to cross 100,000.

But they are all highway miles, and my car has only 1 rattle, and I can drive 100mph on the highway like I was going 50mph. No lie, this is a great highway car.

Have fun drivin Mistazoom

I thought I had low miles (33k) but the lady I sold my first CLS/6MT to is only doing about 7500 miles a year on it. Both our cars' warranties will run out of time way before we hit the 50k miles limit.

HAhaha.. nice man! Well im about that, maybe more or less, pending if i go out alot after work. I place about 100km a day for just getting to and from work, sometimes more if i have to travel around for work which adds up. Not complaining really, just an eye opener when i sat down and thought about it for a bit. My biggest complaint so far... well more or less a wish... that the leather had cooling along with heat. Many times the AC just aint enought. The sweaty ass and lower back is kinda gross!

I bought my car 3 years ago with 69,659 miles. I now have 104,5xx on it. The past year and a half I've been driving a lot because of the f'ing commute between school and home, and work and home.
