far too many miles

Today my Honda Odyssey turns one year old. Is this sad to remember your car's "birthday"? I can't believe we have had it that long already. As many moms can relate, I have put way too many miles on it in just one years time. We have always racked up high mieage on all our cars but I was convinced I wouldn't do that with this one. Boy was I wrong. I thought I would put between 15 and 18 thousand miles a year but when I got in it this morning and pushed the mileage button (I leave it on "trip" so I can't see how much I'm going overboard every day). I couldn't beleive it was a little over 20,000. It made me realize how much unnecessary driving I probably do. I do realize though that I am constantly running kids to and from many activities and feel the need to leave my nest every day even if it is just to get a diet coke. Greg's comment has always been "you get a car to drive it, not park in the garage". I guess this is true but I wanted to keep this one a bit newer for longer.



Thanks Greg for my taxi that I love. Thanks for your hard work and many long hours and sacrifices so we can have nice things. I can't wait until you are able to get something newer without 230,000 miles on it. Hopefully it will be soon.
