20,000 Leagues

This afternoon my trusty steed passed 20,000 miles on my trip back from the Lake. That's 20,000 miles after 3 years and 5 days of driving (I got my Elantra in August of 2004), an average of 6,666 miles per year.

But for the first two years when I worked at the Grand and seldom drove to work, I only put 6,000 miles on the car each year. So that means commuting to Bellarmine (all 3.2 miles to work according Google Maps) accounts for an extra 2,000 miles a year. Considering the relatively short distance, those miles still add up. I'm glad it wasn't a job in Seattle.
