So i got my Type R 2018 in December and im at 10k miles..is that bad?
I think you're car is almost worthless now. Between driving off the dealership's lot, and having that many miles. I would put it up on eBay, for maybe ~25K. Let me know when you do, I'll think about putting in a bid.

....fyi, most the cars I own barely see 20K before I change them out. Exception being my first car which saw 30K in 4 years. I have just over 1K on my 19' R after 1.5 months, ~300 of that was coming back from dealer. I think you are fine. A lot of the people I work with drive 40-60 minutes one way, on the interstate daily, ~100-200 miles a day. I'm not going to fret over putting on ~100-200 miles a week. Keep it maintained, clean, and your resale will be there.:drive:

I'm putting on mileage quicker right now because I'm purposely going out to drive around. Like a fat a** going to McD's when they don't have too. Wisconsin winters will slow that down...

I have over 38,000 miles on my 2017 SI - purchased in late August 2017, so not racking up quite as many miles as you have. Close, though.
But the short answer is -NO -there is no such thing as too many miles on a Honda. Let alone a CTR.

I'm curious as to why you'd think it is bad. Care to share?

I find myself taking laps around the neighborhood after dinner because I enjoy driving it so much (and to gain more experience with the stick shift), my neighbors are petrified I’m casing their homes for robbery
The space in the hatch will be handy for your ill-gotten booty.

I am at 1300 miles after 2 weeks and have another trip planned, so at month's end I will be way over 2K miles. That is not likely to continue,but adding miles is easy in this car.

That’s what I was thinking. Is it even mathematically possible, assuming he sleeps?
Autocar magazine (UK) did a piece a few years ago where they drove a brand new Mondeo 10,000 miles in a week. So yes, it is possible.
