In 55 years as of today.
By my math that works out to an average speed of 66,666.66 MPH.
Talk about life in the fast lane!

Ray B; Orbits around the sun, not Earth rotations...
Perry Shooter; No Audi, it was on a Vespa Scooter!
The number of rotations the Earth has on it's axis when it completes one orbit around the sun varies depending on your point of view.
For example, consider it the Earth had absolutely no rotation on it's axis. Seen from space, the Earth would complete on orbit around the sun but have zero rotations around it's axis.
However, for someone standing on Earth the orbit around the sun would appear to take one day. Say on January 1 the sun appears to be at 12Noon. 1/4 orbit later the sun now appears to be at the horizon; another 1/4 orbit puts the sun at 12 oclock midnight and 1/4 orbit more puts the sun on the Eastern horizon. A complete orbit puts the sun back at Noon. So even though there was no rotation of the Earth, it appeared to those on Earth to have rotated one day.
Happy Birthday, Steve. Watch it though. Those small town cops in La Grande will ticket you for speeding. [;)]
It's OK, I've got connections![:D]
