Default Garage Queen or Road Warrior?

How many miles do you have on your Corvette? Reply with production year and current mileage. I like to know how I compare to others that own Corvettes.

I drive a 2009 Base 6M with 21,000 miles and with many more planned! Road Warrior!

'05 bought with 14,000 miles in June '08, it now has 28K miles, but I was deployed for 13 months. My C5 Z06 got 18K miles in about 14 months and went through 4 sets of brakes and tires in that time.

Daily warrior when it's sunny out and garage queen when it's raining.

It's a 2010 that I bought new back in late Dec. Sat in the garage until April. Drove it home 750 miles and sat in the garage until April. Now it has 3,700 miles on him.

2009 Z06 with 15,000 miles over the past 35 months. Sits in the garage most of the time except when I do road trips with my Corvette friends. I'm retired, so most of my around town driving is in my DD. Really don't want to take the Z06 to Walmart or the Golden Corral, or to the Mall or driving through the nearby school's 30 MPH speed limit.

Went to Talladega Memorial Day weekend to do hot laps on the track(162MPH), going to Bowling Green labor Day weekend and doing a eight or nine day trip to the Smokey Mountains the end of Sept.

So, I guess my Z06 is both a garage queen and a road warrior.

1st C6 - 05 - 1600 miles in 3 months
2nd C6 - 05 - 19,000 miles in 18 months
3rd C6 - 06 - 35,000 miles in 52 months
4th C6 - 08 - 600 miles in 2 weeks

Not really road warriors, but not garage queens either.

Bought my 06 in the spring of 2010 with 12,500 km on it. Perfectly mint.

It now has 36,000 km on it, still perfectly mint.

So, I'd say road warrior, but it's in the garage tucked away nice and clean between road trips
