    How many miles can the slow lane put on in 3 years and 5 months?

    and the answer is

    11094 total miles.

    I was waiting for the mailman in my vehicle and I figured I would sort things out a bit as I sat and relaxed. I found the note book with the mileage that the 95 explorer I use as a taxi has put on in the last 3 years and 5 months.

    Doesn't seem like many miles from what I would drive in the past when I was out and about or working.



    I put on that many miles or more as a passenger when friends want company along for the ride.

    How many miles do you put on your vehicles?

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    I drive about 35-40k miles per year. All of our vehicles are high mileage.

    I put many miles in walking around the yard and elsewhere. I have always enjoyed a good walk.

    I see my vehicle as more of a taxi that is ready for my use as I learned that even tho I don't leave the yard a lot these days, that it is tough finding a ride when you need it.

    When I drove truck mostly doing road construction, I put on more miles and hours then I care to remember.

    I would remember when I was driving propane and anhydrous ammonia transports that I would think of the day when I could lay down and sleep when I wanted.

    Took many miles and hours to get to where I am now.

    It was well worth the miles and hours as I would work on my plan as I drove along until I finally made it to where I was going in the long run.

    My secret is that I always try and put way more thought into most everything I do before I do it and I like to think on things that just may be so that I'm better prepared to sort things out.

    It is a very busy world out there these daze with little room for mistakes in judgement and thought.

    measure twice and cut once. As you get older you sometimes need to measure a few times more or write it down,lol...
