I've done 10,000km since the start of November.
Is this a lot?
Compared to what others do?
Its a milestone for me :)

In 10,000km i have:
Never had a crash
Had one defect
Had one fine
Never had a speeding fine
Had a birthday
Met lots of nice ladies
Got an E for Physics.

Yep... so what have others done in 5 months?

While we're at it

I haven't wont he blasted lotto
I haven't won that readers' digest raffle thing
I haven't been given a 100% payrise
...

List goes on

The usual average is 25,000kms in a year so you do the maths...

In 6 years we've done 110,000kms on our commodore but it's been to Cairns and back, melbourne and back twice, once to adelaide and many many trips to blacktown :lol:

An E is low. A fail.
But it was only the term school grade and the only bit of assessment was ONE test which i got 11.5/40 in.
Hmm i'll do better next term.

Yeah i havent really replaced many parts in the 10,000km ive done.
Everythings going fine.

Me thinks i did 12,000 kms in the LS, driving to and from bloody work in under 6 months. What a stoopid idea that was. Now its done 105,000 kms. Should've put it straight in the shed and kept it under 100. Ummmm 6 months, eh? Work, Work, Work. Not much fun really.

-No defects,
-No speeding fines,
-The cops made a NICE comment on my car (!)

I keep fuel stats for my car and since 1 November 04 I have driven 2348.5 Kilometres. That has cost me $464.32 + flash lube. About 20c/km.
My academic transcript costs a lot more than that!

still not bad going for all the crap P platers take about driving... pretty sure id fluxed my first 2 cars in less distance than that.. using other cars as brakes isnt a good idea..
congrats on the safety record willy
perhaps you should study while driving so you can improve your grades and have a stack... (dont take this advise...its crap)
