Well...

In the last month I've owned it, I've put 2500 miles on it. So 30k/yr? I'd better drive it less.

Lets see...since April 2004...11,000 miles on the '04......but my excuse for not driving the '04 a lot is that I drive another Vette also...and other vehicles...so there is not enough of me to go around

Note:...at least its not a garage queen
