How far commute to work on your evo?

How far do you guys commute one way to work (just going to work) and how many miles do you put on your evo a year? do the poll on top

i drive 0 miles to work with evo since i have a company vehicle, but now I think im going to another job which I have to drive 130miles both ways 5 days a week, im gonna age my car, im curious to know if others buy their evo and garage it and buy a crappy all around car to drive to work.

Just far enough to get the motor totally warmed up...4 miles. I put 5,000 miles or so on in the first year.

The drive to work is NOTHING... Its the late night cruises to nowhere that racks up miles on my car.

would you agree that city driving wears out a clutch faster than highway?
