Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer: 1st 500 miles

This morning on the way to work the odometer on our new Explorer reached the 500 mile tick on the odometer.  Having had the car for 1 week, we can extrapolate the following:

Average miles driven per day: 71.437
Projected miles driven per month: 2,172.62
Projected miles driven per year: 26,071.43
Projected miles driven at the end of 5 years: 130,357.14

Of course, these first 500 miles include 1.5 trips to Galpin Ford during Wednesday and Thursday of last week that accounted for 77.1 of those miles, so if we take away those 77.1, we arrive at:

Average miles driven per day: 60.41
Projected miles driven per month: 1,837.60
Projected miles driven per year: 22,051.21
Projected miles driven at the end of 5 years: 110,256.07.

It will be interesting to see how these driven miles totals normalize in the next 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.  I plan to dutifully record all of that mindlessly boring minutia right here.

Because regardless of the fact that this is really boring, this is MY blog and I can write anything on it I like.  So there.  Get your own if you don't like it. 

Just kidding.
