Question Daily Driver Mileage Poll

I drive many miles to work everyday I was curious how far everyone drives to work on a daily basis for those of you who drive the evo as a daily driver. Also please post your mileage and if you have had any problems. Thanks

edit: Also i didn't think of this until now, but I meant round trip not one way.

I actually share mileage between two cars, since I drive at least 110 miles round trip just for work each day, not including driving between locations. One is my new EVO, and the other is an Imala LS

commute about 25 miles each way at the moment, maybe a bit more in the coming weeks. 90% of it on the freeway.

2,600 miles so far and no issues yet (only got it last month).

drive an s2k more in the summer and will drive the Evo more in the winter. it adds some variety and keeps the total mileage on both cars reasonable. I'd have no problem with just the Evo though.

got to love either of them as a daily driver - commuting to and from work is the best part of the day! Every minute I spend in these cars is fantastic

I drive only about 3 miles each way. I got the car in December and have 2900 miles, 600 I out on the first day driving the car from Spokane, WA home. We have a 2002 Jetta that we use for trips so my car does not really rack up that many miles. Only problem so far is a front emblem that went missing while driving and the numerous paint chips on the front of the car.
