I picked mine up New Year's Eve and am on a pace to put about 6,000 miles on this year. That's about what I put on my C5 the past few years. I have a short commute.

16 months and 17,000 miles. I usually don't put that many on a car, but my mother is in a rehabilitation place due to several falls and mini-strokes. It's 75-85 miles one-way, depending on which way I go. I drive the C6 3-4 times a week to see her.

Picked mine up on 2/25/06 . I was only going to drive it to work two days a week and on weekends. Well that lasted one week, I drive it every day to work and on weekends. It has been in a light dusting of snow twice and numerous rain storms. I have taken it to the lumber yard to pick up supplies (did get some strange looks at the lumber yard). Bottom line is I brought the vette to drive and it is so much fun and great on gas. I have 2800 miles on it after less then 2 months so much for saving it.

Around 10K, My last C4 was about 25K (ran it to 271,000 miles), but my job has changed - now I mostly fly everywhere.

Just under 6,000 the first year but I expect many more this year as I am taking the time for more road trips.

I am averaging about 13k per year...

Daily driver, just rolled over 17000 on the way home tonight... :-)

I averaged 14.5k over 5 years (sold with 64k) with my C5...

6 months, 5400miles. But the "high milage" months are here now. I'm guessing it'll be 13k/year.

Bought my C6 Feb 24th 2006 and as of today I have 4148 miles on it. Long commute I may just have to get another one to help split the difference gas prices be damned!
