Bought my 2012 sedan in September 2015 with 35k miles, I hit 50k miles in April. (Haven't been able to drive her since)

~7,000 of those miles were from driving back and forth between New Jersey and North Carolina. No regrets.

I work in outside sales. I can put on 40k in a single year. I keep cars until they start regularly costing more in repairs and upkeep than a new car payment

I am a little bummed about the mileage but I do drive my car and I love it. I got my car in 2013 with maybe 26K on it and its now got a little over 59K on it. It drives me nuts but I know if you are gonna have it....drive it. I get over it everytime I turn the car on

The G isn't an exotic car that needs to be pampered and preserved. Drive it.

I can't agree more. At some point I also cared about the miles then realized that time is more precious than that number on the dashboard so I am enjoying my time in this life instead of concerning my self about the mileage.

I also agree that this is not an exotic car so it should be driven.

If I decide to get a true supercar like vehicle in the future probably I would also get a prius for everyday driving.

My friend's think I barely drive my car. It's now referred to as the Garage queen. Don't be mistaken, I daily drive the car and it's had loads of drag passes and redline's everyday. I don't know about you guys but I just hate seeing the miles go up on my car. Given I used to be a lot worse about it, I kind of loosened up now. Oh well. What's your guys thoughts on it?

Agreed....higher mileage means lower resale value.

I'm about to hit 65k this week most likely and as much as the mileage does get to me now am addition to it has been the fear of this timing gasket issues which is on my mind more.

I forgot I saved this picture on my phone. Randomly ran over it today. Nothing to be worried about guys. Grabbed this from the Infiniti G37 page on facebook a while back. I wonder how many miles he is at now, as this was like 6 months ago.

I do, not in a resale perspective, but ticking closer to losing the warranty.
Getting the second vehicle really helped spread the love...just under 100k now.
that 360k plus is crazy

At first I cared but once it passed 85k miles I gradually started not caring and now I'm at 114k miles and I don't think about it anymore. I'm almost going to finish paying it off so that's what's on my mind now
