Default How many miles in last 12 months?

we read so much here about folks who show only, drive only, drive only in sun, et cetera. thought i'd check w/ members to see how much you've driven your c5 in the past 12 mos.

i'll lead off: not a dd; however we did drive it here all winter. we put 5k on ours in the past 12 mos. i believe we loved every single mile in that car! bub

About 2K. Mostly weekends, CF Cruise In, and a few times to work.

I lay it up during the winter. Last 12 months I put 1500 miles on. Now I may get some comments about not driving it enough but I drive it just like I want too. I plan on having this car a long time and when I do drive it, it feels like the day I drove it home from the dealership.

I work at home and I take it off the road for about 5 months in the winter. (Deep snow up here. 4X4 country) Still, somehow it sees about 12,000 miles a year. Do you think I like driving it?

20,000 - and I loved every minute of it, too. Not a single problem with it.

About 8K. I've got a very short commute and I share it with another car, but I pratically look for excuses to drive the Vette anywhere, anytime.

I bought my car last april (13 mths) and I've put 19,000 on it.
It was also parked for the winter (Nov to April).

I have a truck for DD but it's not like driving the vette.

Probably close to 18k in the last 12 months, but that includes a 6k trip last July. I've had the car for about 28 months and have about 33k on it. No telling what I'd do if I didin't work from home. Did I mention I like driving the car?

4k miles in a little over 3 months of ownership.

I daily drive my Z, however I will leave it at home if the parking situation isn't suitable.

I'd say about 2000. I drive it in good weather only and mostly in the summer...but a few times in the winter when we had a nice day.
