How long did it take you to do 1200miles for the break-in?

Erhan · 02-09-2011, 06:22 PM

I'm really bored, so here comes a bored-man's poll.

boarderman23 · 02-09-2011, 06:38 PM

Only about half way there. It's been 9 days and in the middle of winter, so otherwise I'd probably be pretty close.

JC919 · 02-09-2011, 06:58 PM

...about 1200 miles long

Sorry, but I bought mine with 3500 on the clock

jonasaurus · 02-09-2011, 07:04 PM

winter doesnt really help ... 2 months would be a fair approximation!

mgx · 02-09-2011, 07:06 PM

picked mine up jan 29th, got near 600 on the odo as of now, not too shabby

quiksi · 02-09-2011, 07:22 PM

swhat · 02-09-2011, 07:37 PM
