I'm trying to find a solution.

My options are free rent (saves me about $500-$550 a month) OR put 40-45 miles a day on my car. whats the opinion?
$500 a month is a lot of money, 45 miles a day is nothing in a nice (but still fun!) riding car like the 8

i actually don't mind my long commute to work because of my 8. if i was in any other car i probably would've committed road rage crime of some sort already lol

haha its not the pain of driving im concerened about. It's keeping my car low miles, and having it under warranty. I have the extended Warranty on it too tho, but i actually cant remember how long it lasts for! it is bumper to bumper i believe.

~5 miles each way to school, then probably 10-20 miles of varying stuff per day. Mileage has been holding steady at about ~55 miles per quarter tank.

20 - 25 miles. Unfortunately, most of my commute is in stop and go traffic.
