Haha, now that's a daily driver. :D
As 8 lover said.. I thought I was clocking too many miles on it.
Well, here are some stats I came up with late last night. (Blogged about it so it's just a copy/paste)

+ Average Miles Per Day: 57
+ Average Miles Per Month: 1,714
+ Anticipated Reading on 11/25/2006: 20,857 (looks like I'm lying on my insurance o_o)
+ Major Modifications: 2 (Cold Air Intake, Strut Bar)
+ Minor Modifications: 2 (Screen Protectors, Trunk Organizer)
+ Useless Purchases: at least 1 (Tire Valve Caps)
+ Car Wash Visits: at least 30
+ Times Waxed: about 3
+ Number of Dealer Visits: around 15
+ Number of Ricer Kills: Too many to count.
+ Times I Hit Redline: 10 (way too little)

Is that redline 10 times a day, week, or since you've owned the car? "Holy **** man you've got to get on that."

That is a lot of mileage in one year - it sounds like she's doing great as a work hourse for you! My claim to fame mileage-wise so far is that I hit 45 miles last night. I'll work on that today : )
