Unless you have a ton of money to burn on cars, then yes you are. Get a nice Civic, possibly the Hybrid.

I dont think you are nuts. You gotta drive wherever you need to go. I did just shy of 24k miles this year. Unfortunately like you, i have long commutes and a zillion other places to go every week. <p>
I am not sure i understand the previous reply to your post about buying a civic or something??? What is that supposed to mean? Why should you drive a cheap car just because you drive more. The TL is a fancy Honda so if the impliction is that you should drive a reliable nameplate, then you already are.

You're not nuts. I already put 22K miles on my car since I bought it near the end of Feb and am sure I will have put well over 30K miles by the end of the year. I just have places to go and a long drive to work, etc. That's why I bought an Acura...the engine will outlast the electrical, leather, etc...I'm planning on over 200K miles out of it the way I'm going.

Are you nuts? I think not. I bought my car on 12/2/01 and already have 18,700 miles. I expect to have 22,500 miles by 12/2/02. I, too have a long-a$$ commute.
I love every second in this car. If the tranny holds, I plan on keeping it for 4-5 years.
