Default 50K Today

Arrived at this milestone in my daily driver tonight, just as I pulled into the garage.

What mileage have you fellow DDs reached?

Not many in my 012 coupe. The reason for me to drive it 150 miles every weekend went away. Only got about 8K on it.

I did put 36K on my DD Monterey Red 06 before I traded it.

I'm at 33K, 27 by me, 6 by the first owner. I've enjoyed them all. Car cost me $xxK, has given me back a million $ worth of smiles.

Should hit 138,000 this weekend in my 07. All but maybe 600 miles put on by me. Wife and sons did the 600 miles.

They make great DD.

At the slow rate of the past two years, I'll probably hit 120K this month on my '08. I averaged 20K annually the first 5 years.

Just bought my 08.......NCM Delivery owner....15K miles. I am not doing well with miles between the nice weather and the bike and the CRV to pick up stuff,,,,,,But the weather will soon cool off and the bike will be second choice.

Unless you get a lemon, Corvette is every bit as reliable as a Chevy farm truck...good for over 200K.

I refuse to treat my Corvette like a precious object. I drive it.
