Re: How many miles..... (GrandSportC3)
I've been averaging 15,000 to 20,000 a year but this year wont quite be there. It's been off the road for nearly 5 months getting the engine rebuilt and I'm rebuilding the suspension while I wait for the engine. I'll have to do a lot of driving to make up for lost time. It looks like I may do a 5000 mile trip with it before the end of the year.

1-2K I'd put on more if the weather were nicer for more than just four months and I didn't travel as much. :leaving:

Re: How many miles..... (GrandSportC3)
I started the 20,000+ per year.
Bought my 82 with 57K on the ticker July 97.
It now has 188K 6 years later.
That's almost 22K per year.
Poor crossfire - you know, they say its not reliable. Huh! I am here to prove that wrong. Will cross 200K next spring. Since I have rebuilt virtually all the critical parts (except the basic crossfire - which has not needed anything except for the annual balancing, which I do for fun), I expect to see 300K.
BTW, has the original injectors.

This year I drove about 2500miles. My odometer is not working so it's just an estimate though. Now car is already garaged and waiting for next summer... :cry

Re: How many miles..... (GrandSportC3)
I drove her 23,000 miles the first year, when I was single. Plus, that was as my SECOND vehicle. I'd drive my Pontiac to work, come home, and drive the 'vette around for hours.
Now, with a mortgage and a live-in girlfriend, I drive her only once in a while.
Which is fine, 'cause she's in pieces anyway.
