Glad you like my screen name I chose it because that is my absolute favorite place to be. I work my A$$ off so that several times a year I can sit at the Hard Rock and drink Margaritas while the sun sets.
Hopefully someday I will take the Vette and make it my permanent home.

I am guessing about 1000 miles a year for my C3's. I have a 73 and a 72 and thats about it. For my 86, it is more of a daily driver, so around 5000 per year. Total is then 7000.
Hey I'm a math wiz too.

I wonder why some guys don't insure their cars all year?
During the winter the car may not be driven but damage could occur, say in the garage?

10K last year and I started on March 24th.
In my spare time I rebuilt the front suspension.
Put a 350/290 GMPP crate in.
New rear leaf.
So far this year I have put over 400 miles on it and I am looking forward to many more happy miles in 06.

Sadly, only 2-3K miles (weekend driver). Once the kids get older (#1 @ 21 mos, #2 due in 2 weeks), the mileage should increase from more frequented car shows, events, etc. Who knows, by then I may have a different Vette!

They are climbing in price fast! Well I guess that makes us even cause I would like to get my hands on a chrome bumper car.
