I probably need to move more than 6 miles away from work to get this done.

30,400-ish. I have a 16 stair commute and still put 12K on in the 15 months since I bought it. 2200 mile road trip in the vert included. It's been flawless other than the screen replacement under warranty.

I have had major rework ALL UNDER WARRANTY I must add.

3 Water Pumps
1 Headlight
3 Pistons w/supporting hardware
Clutch - whole assembly include slave cylinder, boot, flywheel, pressure plate, etc.
3 gears
1 rear differential

I have enjoyed sMile after sMile in this car for almost 5 years. Oct 20, 2013 - Present day. Enjoy folks!

edited to add: My car is completely bone stock performance wise, not even an air intake on it. Boy am I glad too when it came to warranty claim! I think I have about 15-18 more weeks worth of warranty (2014 5 yr/100K). I’ll take my risks after that...planning to A&A Supercharge it!!!
Damn. You have patience. I would of ditched my '14 if it had all those issues.

I haven't had mine but 7 months, so my mileage is low. I only drive it on off days as it's not my daily driver. Where I work some of the scrubbers put out some powder and no way I'm letting that get on my car. I am guessing I will average around 8K miles per year until I retire in the next couple of years, then it will go up.

Wonder if I have the most mileage in the shortest time? Just under 20k miles, car bought new 8 months ago.

Leave on a trip tomorrow that by the time the car is 9 months old will have me at around 25,000 miles

That sure is a lot in a short time! I have had mine 7 months now and have 6100 miles on it. Although the first month I had it, I couldn't drive it at all due to the snow on the roads. And mine is not a daily driver, it only comes out when the roads are dry. So I've still managed to rack up the miles rather quickly considering those factors.

I think what would have been more interesting would have been more poll options south of 20k

Couldn’t bring myself to do that if I wanted. This was a milestone purchase for me. Turned 40 & Retired from the Marine Corps. I haven’t had to fork over a dime for the repairs. This was a SEMA ‘14 entry car...I’ve been through A LOT with this car. More than just a throwaway bucket of bolts to me.

6 months and 4500 miles. I only drive it during dry days but man do I look for any excuse to take it out and drop the top! This is my first convertible and it is SO addicting!

I'm a little shy of 1,200 miles and have had the car going on six months. I've got mixed emotions about my mileage. While it is not my true daily driver, I bought the car to drive it and not to just wash and look at it. (But I enjoy doing that too.)

I have never put so few miles on a car in my life. (I ride a bike each month more than the number of cumulative miles on my car.)

While I'm not sure that I will buy another new Vette since I'm about to retire, once the daily grind stops, I plan to start putting more miles on it and definitely use it for road trips. In other words, to actually enjoy driving it.
