My poor neglected C5....
I use software to track EVERYTHING with my cars. Mileage, gas fill ups, maintenance... Very cool thing.
I was looking through the statistics in the 18 months I've had the app.
Daily Driver: 12,800 miles
Corvette: 2,200 miles
129 miles per month.
I think it's time to wear that car out.

I too track all my mileage and maintenance on all my vehicles with an Excel spreadsheet.
My 2012 stats were as follows...
1996 Ranger - 600 miles.
1990 Harley FXR - 500 miles
1997 'Vette - 1200 miles.
Some say I should get out more often.

WRONG i bought my cars to enjoy them and i get every dollar worth out of it everytime i drive them lol

sadly
I put more hours on my 4 wd John Deere X585 garden tractor each year
but then again - the Harley & the boat & the pool & the guns cut in on the vette use as well - can't complain about that !
99% of my vette use is with the top down

People often ask me why my Corvette doesn't have more miles on it. When I tell them I average 32K per year in my daily business driver, they understand.
Sometimes I just don't feel like driving. Even a Corvette.

Sounds about like the usage on mine. I've told myself this year I will get it out a lot more - time will tell whether I really do it or not.

Man some folks on here don't leave home much, for the last 2 years I've been commuting over 225 miles a day round trip to work, of course that's figuring in my running around during my day as well, I drive the truck 2 days a week the Vette 1, the bike 1 and the wife's car 1 days as well, kinda spreading the miles around.
