Just wondering how old and how many miles were on your DD's? My BMW is 16 years old, and just hit 210,000 miles, nearly 100,000 of which I put on it myself.

We both commute daily, and we tend to drive her car for most other errands and trips.
'01 Fukus is my technical DD, although the only times it gets driven alot are in the winter or if my other summer only vehicles is down. It has 122k miles on it, I bought it at 9k miles, sold it to my family at 13k, and bought it back at 116k. Summer DD is normally the '91 SHO, sitting at 174k on the chassis(drivetrain is at about 12k)

I feel stupid for asking this, but what's a fukus?
Ford Fukus?
Mine is a 77 Honda XL125 24k miles (that's a lot for a 125) and 65 Corvair, who knows how many miles, 200K? Depends which part of the car you are talking about, its all been rebuilt anyway, pretty much the same for the XL also.
Wife's old DD is somewhere between 230-250k on her 00 accent. My old DD was at 162k on my 02. The new DD is at 35k (turned over thismorning) and a '10, the wife's new DD has 74k on an 08.
Well today it's a 1973 (so, 40 years old) with 87,000.
Most days it's a 2006 with 94,000. Hers is an 01 with 135,000.

probably a Ford Focus
Me: nearly 2 year old 2012 Mazda 3 S Touring (5-door 2.5L/6MT) bought new 10/1/11. Just hit 48,000 miles this week.
Wife: 2010 Mazda 3 I Touring sedan (2.0L/5AT) bought used in 4/2011. Just hit 81,000 this week.
I came from a 2009 WRX and she came from a 2007 Elantra GLS. Both were very problematic turds. I liked her car so much that I went out and bought one for myself. Both are holding up well and require very minimal maintenance. Both of us drive a lot.
Her next ride will most likely be a Mazda CX-5, probably in a year or so. We'll see how far we can get with her car. My automotive wants change by the day. Today I want a new Dodge Charger with the Pentastar and one of the fancy sport packages that give you the 8-speed auto and flappy paddle shifters. That gets better highway mileage than my car and it's double the size.
