2/06 to 1/3/07, daily driver to/from work, 18K miles in 11 months. 1/3/07 to 4/17/07, retired, 3.5K more, so about 12K/year at that rate.

Prior to purchasing my C6, I was averaging 20-24,000 miles a year on 2 different C5's. This C6 is a keeper so now I am renting cars for my long distance drives 2-3 times a month.

A daily driver in Jacksonville gets you about 12k per year. It's a very large city, biggest in the country size wise and your milage shows it.

I just turned 12500 after 18 months so I'd guess 8-9K a year. Its a daily driver and I have a 20 mile RT commute. I haven't used it for long trips, though, My Suburban is more comfy for that...

Mine is 14 months old and I have 11.2K on the clock, so that's about 800 per month. First year I owned her the wife and me did some long distance driving so that would have added more to the over all total. I do think of mine as a DD but I have three other vehicle's to chose from to drive. This would cut down the over all mileage on the Vette.

Here is one for you:
100 miles a day commute
500 miles a week (weekdays only)
about 25,000 miles per year
mostly back and forth to work and cruising at lunch- rarely used on weekends (in the suburban with family)
-Just traded in a C5 with about 110k after about 3-4 years.

I just hit 4,200 miles in 10 weeks. So, about 20,000 miles/year at that pace.

16,000 miles in 15 months, so a little over 1000 miles per month. This rather high number (for me) is the result of several long driving trips to Georgia, Tennessee, and Colorado. Not sure whether the future will have such a high average. But the C6 is a dream for long distance travel. Super comfortable seats. Fits me like a glove!
