I have a buy on it not a lease ..... should I keep a car like this at this rate of miles or get ride of it as soon as possible? i still live my car =)

yikes!!! I thought I was bad having 21,500 on mine after having it for 11 months. You need to do what I'm trying to do this summer... pick up a beater or a motorcycle and use it to keep some miles off the car. I'm not too concerned with mine, I'm redoing the suspension, brakes and exhaust soon, so when the motor starts to go I'll just drop a 392 or 426 in it

Those are some sort of blocs with moving parts inside and are called engines.

Some say they dropped from hell.

Does this 3K a month on my car mean my car will start having problems anytime soon even though its a 07 model ?

if you have problems, you'll have them sooner that most just because you're racking up the miles faster than most. i can see that tires are going to be one of your first things to replace in the next month or so.

CPL had a great suggestion, find another used car to drive around as your daily driver. i take for granted that i work from home and don't have to drive my car every day (although I find reasons to). i've got 10,000 in seven months.

it's shorthand for the Cubic Inch size of an engine, the engine's displacement. 392 cubic inches, 426 cubic inches, etc. the bigger the number, the bigger the engine.

for example. the SRT's 6.1 Liter engine is 372 cubic inches.
