How many miles this summer ?

I had a look at the odometer yesterday and I've put on 4030 miles this year (so far !) Went to Saskatoon a couple times (5 hr trip both ways) Got me to wondering how many miles you guys put on this summer .

200-300 miles per motor... That would be about 800 miles. Been a long summer under the car! :-))

I got my newest vette 4 months back and put over a 1,000 on her before I shipped her off to Italy and next month when I meet her there I will continue to put miles on her.

Between the 4 Corvettes I have driven just under 13,000 miles in the past year. 7,000 in the C6 Z06 and about 2,000 miles each in the 61, 65 and 68.

I drive them year round in nice weather. I like to drive Corvettes

Maybe 3-5 miles. in and out of shop to dust the ole girl off. Been back and forth to the paint shop next door in the past days. Had to change the plugs the other day, 3 to 5 miles of idling in a two year period killed the first set.
