Default Daily Drivers

Just changed my oil yesterday and realized by the next change I'll hit the 150,000mi. mark. My question is how many people have daily drivers and how many miles does your vette have? :flag

Oops, forgot to answer the original question.

My '95 is my daily driver and road trip car, she's just about to turn 100,000.
My previous daily driver is my 91 GMC, that has 180,000 miles on it. I just checked my records, since buying my vette, I've only put 6000 miles on my truck in two years. Now that I have the 2nd vette, my truck very rarely sees the road except for snow days.

Daily driver 1994 Mercedes E-320 107k.
When the E-320 is in the shop (most of the time) I drive my Ford.
The Corvette is a weekend car, and road trip car.
I wish the Mercedes was a reliable as my Corvette. My T-byrd has them both beat, but its boring.
