Re: WHAT'S YOUR MILEAGE ??? (lotahp)
The odometer read about 83,000,miles. I am entering my forth year of ownership. When I bought it the engine was said to be rebuilt. I have put about 1000 miles on it. I would estimate about 3000 miles on this engine.

195,700
Will go over 200,000 in about 3 months.
Next target - 300,000.
I drive about 100,000 miles in 5 years on my Vette.
Good old crossfire - still plugging away.

My odometer shows 45k, but hasn't moved since I got it. The second owner said he had seen it move in a while either. I am guessing well over 100k actual miles.

My '82 Corvette is my lowest mileage car at 65,000.
I drive to work in my Honda Del Sol, 129,000.
My record is my Toyota Corolla, with 367,000 (but the head has just developed a slight crack).
I like the Corvette the best.

79k almost 80. Drug it out of the garage where it was stored for 17 years with 58k on it. That was about 1 2/3 years ago. Hope to be up in the 200k crowd after a while ;)
