How many miles driven/year
Newbie to forum so this may have been asked before but I am curious as to how many miles forum readers drive their cars per year. It seems to me from the little I have been reading that most don't use them for anything but pleasure and thus don't put on many miles. I see so many C6's for sale that are 2 to 3 years old with very few miles on them. Input??

I put about 14K on my cars a year - But I have three. The Vette averages about 4K a year.

Yeah, the Vette's an off/on DD for me, depending on weather and modifications. Its exactly 4 years old now, and just hit 36k miles. So, about 9k per year. When I do drive it though, they're usually longer trips so I'm out in it a couple hours at a time. It's been border-to-border in the US, North to South, and East to West. 
Will be doing the same here in the UK this coming fall.

In my driveway, I have 8 cars. 5 are Corvettes.
I drive some, more than others - and a few, hardly at all.
This past year, I put a lot of miles on the 2008 Corvette. Car now has 45,000 + miles as of last week

Put in service Feb 12, 2005, now have 29000 miles. It's my second car, but love driving it. Any excuse is good enough for me. As long as it's not raining or snowing, I drive it.

I got my Z06 in April of 2008 (an 08 model) and ive put right about 12,000 miles on it. It's not my daily driver, but I take it any chance I get, and I just go in random drives a lot for fun.
