So far around 4000 miles which has to be the most since I bought it in '98. The majority with my wife, best summer ever!

So far 22940.25 miles between 22 guys = 1042.7 miles / year on average. Thats not a lot of miles. I thought we'd be putting WAY more miles than that on our cars.

I would have guessed about 2500 miles on average / year

So far, less than 500 which is needed to breakin my new McLeod dual disc clutch. I would have put on more but it never seems to stop raining...both August and September have been wettest months on record for my neck of the woods.

But I'll be heading out in about 15 minutes for the Harley-Davidson Final Assembly plant in York, PA for their annual open house. That'll be another 200 mile round trip.

About 1,500 miles. I don't go much further out than a $100.00 flat-bed ride home.

I hate to be able to say it but....I have not put a single mile on my 'Vette, this past year...Been putting in 14 to 15 hour days working the Natural Gas Fields....only have about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of free time a day...working a 24/365 operation...May be time to go ahead and give the 'Vette and Performance Parts to my Son-in-law...he just turned 40 and could give her a better run than what I can...

Probably about 700 miles or so. A couple of cruises with the wife. A trip to Corvette Expo in Sevierville Tn. A trip to Bowling Green Ky. That is about all I can think of right now.
