Just today, or everyday, like me?

What's worse is that I have/can get tickets to the golf tourney here for tomorrow, but no one wants to go. I'm not even a big fan of golf, but it beats work.

the car was pulled off the semi truck then a mechanic drove it to go fill it up wiith gas.

3 when i finally got in

Does the manufacturer drive it 2 miles to test it before shiping it to destination?

I think mine only had 4 or 5 miles on it when I picked it up. I'm also bored to death here at work (well ending as it is after 6pm here in joisey).

It's been a month and it now has about 1300 miles on it which now that I am thinking about the matter worries me since I never put more than 1000 miles a month on my cars and it is a lease with 12k a year. I think I've been finding excuses to drive more I used to. I guess I'll worry about overages in a couple of years.

Yes. Before They Ship It Out, They Do Test Drive It For Exactly 2 Miles To Check Everthing Is Working Properly.
