    Thumbs up How many miles on your LX?

    I was wondering when y'all bought your LX's and how many miles you've put on it to date. I don't how how much y'all drive, but I think my brother takes the cake. He purchased his Magnum R/T brand new in November with 5 miles on it. Now 8 moths later he has 42,000 miles on it and counting.

    I must say that with all those miles put on it in such a short time, the car still drives like new. It has not given him any problems nor has he had to take it in for any service other than oil changes.

    I think that says a lot about the reliability of these cars. It's just outstanding. I can't wait to get my Charger, it'll probably take me 2-3 years to put those kind of miles on it. Just curious to see how what you guys have to say.

    I've had my R/T since May 2004, and I have just over 9700 miles on it. I work close to home though, so I don't commute far though.

    I bought in Feb '05 (Mag RT) -- I'm approaching 11,000 miles -- I typically put 30,000+ a year on my car -- I'm a little on the low side of my average, but that can change in any given month.

    My brother's Magnum has been driven from Miami, Fl to as far west as New Orleans and as far north as North Carolina and Atlanta. Not to mention the intrastate trips to Tallahassee, Tampa, and Orlando. He's a Road Runner. He loves hitting the road in the Magnum.

    Just passed 7000 this week - had the car since 12/1/04. When I picked it up, it had 8 miles.

Aint got nothing, I got nothing to lose. I keep walking away these blues. The cup is broken, but it's half full. I got 100 miles to go before I get back to see my girl."
