New daily driver

So on my way home from work today, and my civic breaks down. Now this means "my precious" will be my daily driver for who knows how long. The problem is that it's 90 miles one way, I get worse gas mileage, I have to use premium and I put miles on the car. What a drag.

Sounds to me like you need a new job closer to home. Sorry to hear about the civic.

I have been driving mine daily for a month because my beater is down at the moment. I haven't started to turn the wrench yet, I love my Evo.

My evo has 50k on it because when I first got the job, I drove it for months on end untill I bought the civic. With the mileage, it still runs great, looks great, feels great, maybe even tastes great (idk)
