95K on my '97. It had 93K on it a month and a half ago when I bought it.
I drive a dually during the week and my wife drives the vette, but on the weekends, I go everywhere in my vette, and every time I drive it, it gets sideways at least once.

I drive mine
I picked up my 99 in the begining of Oct and drove it almost 1000 miles home in the rain.
I put about 2500 miles a year on my 65 StingRay although that number will proably go down because I'm having alot of fun driving the 99. We will see...
IMHO, these cars were meant to be driven.
If not driving your car is your thing that's cool but I'd rather drive mine.
Oh yeah, my 99 has about 58k and my 65 has about 50k
I took the 65 out for about a 10 mile ride a couple of nights ago and The wife and I put about 50 miles on the 99 today on a ride to nowhere.

Why do these posts always go down hill? It happens over and over again. Someone asks a simple question and it turns negative. For those of you who drive your car on a daily basis, God bless you. For those of you who have garage queens, God bless you. Personally, I couldn't care one way or another if you drive your car or not. If driving your car every day is what makes you happy, that's great. If you only drive it once a week or even less, that's fine with me. It's odd that we all share the same passion, and yet we're critical of how someone else enjoys their car. If it makes you happy . . . that's all that counts. 
It really amazes me.
82k on my 2000

I've got an '03 with 10500 miles on it - bought it last September with 8500 miles on the clock. Come decent weather, the odometer will go up quite a bit.

Why should anyone care how a person drives their car.

Bought my 99 FRC black on black)with 19,200 on the clock about a month ago and it's at 19,900 now. I am enjoying this car!! It's my first Vette and I love it! My 97 Viper (blue and white GTS) on the other hand, has just 7K and we bought it new in October of 97... Love driving both though.
