5000 miles

At a toll booth on the Mass Pike today, my car cleared its 5000th mile, 85 days after I brought it home for the first time. At this rate, I'll have put 20,059 miles on it by the end of the year. Possible refinancing aside, by the time the car is paid off, I'll have driven 110,824 miles, almost exactly the number my mom and I drove the old '96 before I traded it in for the left rear hubcap on this one.

Perhaps it's time to rethink this Framingham-to-Burlington commute.
