Who uses the car most?

**th5418** · 27-01-2007, 07:22

I got into a recent argument with my friend about who owns his car, him or his mom. We're not talking about who bought it or anything, just who uses the car most? Both he and his mom drive the car. His mom drives it about 4 times a month, 60 mile trips. He drives it about everyday, 2-3 mile a day. His mom drives it infrequently, but she wears it out more. He drives it everyday, but doesn't use as much mileage. Who uses the car most?

Once again, not legally, just mindset.

I don't see the mindset having much of a say when legal ownership is so clear-cut. In my mindset it belongs to the person who owns it. Tautological, I know.

what is there besides the legal ownership?

did he lick it or pee on it or something?

Okay fine, who uses the car most?

She drives 240 miles a month.

He drives 75,25 miles a month.

Simple math.

Who uses the car most?

Not the same question.

I do believe the OP means who has primary responsiblity for it.
That is who should look after oil changes and such.

As far as who owns it, who made the car payments? As you can see from Johnny, the mom drives it more miles. If you are asking who is wearing out the car, it is the son. Stop and go, short trips are harder on a car than long trips.
