Re: How many miles this year? (Plastic Wheels)

I put about 600 miles on it. :eek:

Then again I finally got it running in late june, then it went in the shop for brakes, then the paint shop for a month, then power steering, and I didn't drive it when it was raining, and now Im tearing the engine apart....soooo...I guess thats about right.

I believe I put about 4,000-5,000 miles on the 'Vette this year. I normally try to put at least 4,000 miles on it before I put it away for the winter, this year I got to drive the 'Vette a little longer than usual.

I put 350 miles on the vette this year. It seems that I am fixing more than driving.

Re: How many miles this year? (GreyGhost)

A little over 10k. My wife just lost her job so I'll probably be driving the truck (F-150) since it's better on gas plus it will save some wear and tear on the Vette.
