Bought it new last August, sat much of the winter through all the rain and snow, and just now using it on a more regular basis. I've put about 4,430 miles on it as of today.

3771 miles in 2 years. If you meant by "high miles" one's mental state, as in altered by substances, than the number for me is 0.

4-5 months in hibernation every year. Just put my 2014 back on the road approaching 13,000. Obviously a pleasure vehicle for me!

A poll showing mileage from 0-1000 or 0--4000 would show how many Garage Queens are out there.

Lots guys out there like me that drive our cars.... I've been driving Corvettes as daily drivers for 27 years.... have amassed more than 600,000 miles in Corvettes, rapidly approaching 700,000..... great cars, inexpensive to run, fix, and enjoy....
I have 41,000 on my '15 C7.
I almost split the DD duties with an '88 328GTB Ferrari. I put around 18K miles per year on the Corvette, about 10K on the F-car.
To quote myself, "No one on his death bed ever said, 'I wish I'd driven the Corvette (Ferrari) less.'"

2014 MY delivered July 3rd, 2014 (time flies, can't believe it's been almost 3 years!) - 28K miles
It's currently my daily driver but I plan on buying a second vehicle, likely a Volt, in August to get me to and from grad school.
