You can't beat living two blocks from work! The commute only sucks when you hit a red light... ha ha ha.

Sorry to go off-topic, but this is a perfect example of why the United States' obesity rate is through the roof.... People are adverse to walking two blocks. That type of use is SO hard on your car, you're better off just walking.

Yeah, but when you're a police officer and work 12 hour night shifts, the last thing you want to do at 6 am is walk home. You want to drive home and get to bed as soon as possible (assuming you don't have to go to court). Plus, driving home or to work in the car is a little more anonymous than walking down the street where anyone can see you (and recognize you from contacts you may have had with them). I like to keep my home location confidential to protect my family, but my situation is a little unique.

As far as the obesity issue, I think it's a little more complex than the short commute issue. Consider the type of food commonly available, as well as the standard portion sizes in our country. And most people don't have a short commute to work like I do; most commute very far because it's cheaper to live outside of the area where most business is conducted (at least it's this way in California). If I didn't have my unique circumstances, I'd be riding a bike to work more regularly, but as it stands, I don't. I think the 4Runner can take it, so long as I take care of it.

Anyway, now we're really off topic! Back to the mileage and age...

2004 V6 SR5 4X4

bought 32 months ago in 04/2004 with 23 miles

now has 20,378 miles for a 637 miles/month average!

Truck still has the new smell inside of it.
 
The 4runner is my wife's primary vehicle. I used to have a Lexus that she was OK with driving and we'd swap back and forth but right now I have a 6-speed manual Audi that she's scared to drive (inexperienced with a stick).

Anyhow, with that out of the way she got it on 10-30-2004... it was one of the first 2005s in the country if I recall correctly because it was supposed to be a V8 and was going to be one of the first with VVT-i on the 'net.

It currently has about 20,500 miles on it, though 1/3rd of that has been in the last 4 months or so since she finally got all finished with her masters degree/CPA/etc and is in the working world.:D

Oh and just for kicks, my 2006 Audi was leased 11-2-2005 (about 13 months ago) and was about to cross the 15k mile mark as I drove to work. That means I'm safely within my 15k/yr contract.:)
