Driving my Car Too mUch?...
I just took my TL to vegas for the weekend (i live in SD) and i put about625+ miles on it this past weekend. Now my mileage is upt o 10,095. I feel bad that i drove it soo much..does mileage do anything for me. My car is not eeven a year old yet. I had it for about 9 months now.

The average mileage on cars yearly is about 12-15K miles. I think you are on the average side. I had about 12K miles after 12months. And 10K miles especially if most is predominantly highway isn't bad at all, even at 9months.

Besides, excluding the minor annoyances (rattles, dash piece gaps, etc), your Acura is a very well engineered machine and you should expect to get a ridiculous amount of miles out of any Honda product (especially highway miles).
I've had my TL for 8 months and I'm already up to 8500 miles.

I'm over 50. 55 miles a day for work, 4 trips to Baltimore to get daughter a Scion TC and other errands in local area add up. I haven't driven around town yet, i.e., the Washington beltway. Now that would be a good racetrack.

don't worry about the mileage! Hondas last forever... I'm sure that's at least a small part of everyone's rationale for why we bought a TL in the first place... I've put 11k miles on mine in 7 months... 12-15k/year is an average person's yearly mileage in any car and you're right on pace
