3861

That's how many miles my car had on it when I got the oil changed on Saturday afternoon. This isn't a particularly notable story except for what it means I don't do a lot of these days: drive.

Just how little? Let's dig into the stats a little bit:
  • I've owned the car for ~280 days
  • The car had 1700 miles when it was loaded on the trailer to be shipped to Seattle
  • Overall I've averaged 13.8 miles/day
  • While in DC I averaged 28.3 miles/day
  • While in Seattle I've been averaging just 9.8 miles/day
  • A 10,000 mile/year lease is 27.4 miles/day
Which means I own a very nice depreciating asset, albeit slightly slower than average. Which kind of sucks.
