In 2 years and 3 months I put 40,000 miles on the Crossfire ….. I knew I was driving a lot, but not that much .
Sorry, pointless post. But I really did just realize that. That is fuckton more than the average 12k a year. If anyone actually cares its at 132k now, which really isn't crazy high for an 11 year old car.
But high for its year or not, byyyyyeeeeee resale value.
sm70- why not Duesenberg?

My dad has averaged about 26,000 miles a year with the Flex, which he has now decided to keep for at least another few months.

Screw resale value. I'm putting about 600-700 miles on my Magnum a week, that's 31k miles a year. I would very much like to move closer to work though, I'm filling up 2-3 times per week. About $100 in gas, give or take.
I've also got 151k on the car, and roughly 3400 on the motor currently.
Unless someone waves a lot of money in my direction, my Magnum isn't going anywhere.

Keeping a flex around sounds good to me. Like those things.
Hey, y'all, watch this!

I put about 20k a year on the XJ while it was my DD, even with high gas prices and its terrible fuel economy. I expect to equal or exceed that with the Fusion I got four months (and about 7k) ago.
What can I say, I like driving.

It's a Crossfire, I'm not sure resale value was a strong point in the first place...

"My magnum isn't going anywhere" and a new motor is exactly where Im not though lol. I'm thinking I'll ditch the car in less then a year. So …. some resale value would be nice.

Lol u funny.
Actually because they couldn't sell, their values dropped like a rock and then leveled out. Still hanging out below $10k.

Yeah, but you could make the first Crossfire SRT8, I'll even give you a deal if you wait for me to yank the 5.7L in favor of something a little bigger when I get there. You can feel free to bore it out to a 391 (close enough), because I can guarantee the motor will be able to take it. The thing is beefed up inside and out, definitely stronger than the average 5.7L.
Just think of how great it would feel with a V8, and the badass sound of 2 valves per cylinder.

That sounds very nice …. but I want a convertible (and manual). I'm only young(ish) with no responsibilities once!

Because my ex is a photo major …. came with some benefits.
She actually asked to take photos of my car for her portfolio and then I asked her out.

Ha nice topic change. But I graduated last May and I'm just about done redesigning this POS.
The design is technically out/done but we still have a few things to fix. I'll have my coming out to oppo post when it gets all finished up :)

Yeah, well, I'm not here enough to keep up. Just hoping a designer gets to design, and do it well.

Averaging 31k a year (haven't made a full year yet) in my 13.5 mpg Silverado. I'm filling up on average every 3 days. Hence, I'm looking at the '14 Passat TDI's. I could essentially quadruple my gas mileage...
