Think you drive a lot??

I am a wireless tech - spend most of my day at cell towers. I ran into a tech from Sprint today who works on a contract with Ericsson. He and I were shooting the shit about our jobs and he asked me how I like my tacoma. (he drives a 4x4 company-issue silverado)

I told him I loved it and have put on 7200 mi in 2 months, yep, driving the hell out of it.

He says, "pshhh, I've had this 4 months and there's 25,000 miles on it "

thats a 208 mi/day average...unbelieavable

 

I love driving but damn...

 

I put in about 130,000 a year, but I make a living driving.

 

my mom does 5-8 hundred KM days sometimes. she puts om like 80,000 kms a year. thats why she drives a toyota

 

1,000 miles a month. not too much!

 

That must be why they issue Silverado trucks. Use them for 12 months, then dispose of them.

 

Pretty much. he said around 80-90k they start having major issues. A/C power steering, everything electrical stops working. They just throw em out and get new ones.

Absurd, if you ask me.
