    56,000 miles give or take a few, and it is a daily driver for me as well - typically gets 30 miles on it a day. A couple of recent trips to NC (Uwharrie, then Asheville/Blue Ridge Parkway) recently put about 2,000 on it in about two weeks though.

    Everyday VX

    I have driven my VX every single day since I got it on April 24th 2001....that is except the 2 months it was getting fixed after rolling it.

    I have no complaints and it has never been unreliable or broke on me to where I was stranded somewhere in BFE. It seems always to know just when to act up and that is near home or somewhere reasonable.

    I have driven it to work everyday, offroad every weekend, vacation trips from San Diego to Colorado then to Tucson and back to San Diego, driven to Mexico several dozen times, to South Central and Compton at least a hundred times, has pulled a '68 Mustang several hundred miles, and has hauled over a ton from San Diego to Idaho(my new home) with no problems ....well at least none that were not fixable or solved to some extent that is..... and it is still going.
    I just need to get all the ash out of it from the fires in Cali..
    serious....it keeps spitting out ash and soot.....air filter looked like straight mud washing out from it, exhaust spits out ash, and inside is just now starting to get rid of the smoke smell.
