Wow. I have 12k on my 16. I thought it was low. I split the nice daya between the vette and the bike or I would have more. Definitely didn’t buy a Chevy to keep as a garage piece. Would much rather have a nice Italian car sitting around collecting dust if I werent gonna use it.

2017 GS, Bought with 500 miles on it (Trust fund baby bought and parents made him take it back), Since then added 4100 miles. This includes NCM event, OK Rt 66 event and a handful of weekend runs. Other than that it is split between the Z06 and our Harley's for "cruising time".
If work wouldn't keep getting in the way, I would likely have more free time to just play... Me being a Republican, I just don't see the work load lessening any time soon.

I picked up my 2018 Grand Sport in July 2017. It has 4,100 miles on it, split between nice-weather commuting to work (15 miles round-trip), long errands on weekends, and a few weekend trips. Daily driving is shared with my NB Miata. Accumulated miles in the Vette increased after I went to Spring Mountain in May 2018 and became a LOT more attuned to the car.

I suppose I am somewhere in the middle of the pack. I have a 2017 Stingray 2LT M7 coupe that I factory-ordered just under two years ago. I am at 7,900 miles and it is definitely a garage queen.
It is my first Corvette and I am probably going to keep it a long time. I drive it when the weather is good and the car will never see abuse or being driven at a track. It certainly is not what you would call an investment, but it will still be worth a decent amount of money after a few years - compared to one that has a lot more miles, sits outside or is used as a daily driver.
The nice thing about Corvettes is that we all see them differently and each of us who buys them can enjoy them as we see fit. There is no "right" way to be a Corvette owner, I guess.

I got a 2019 brand new Z06 the end of May 2018. I don't daily drive it, never drove it during the week has 4850 miles on it, its a weekend Warrior!!! Been weeks at a time I don't drive it, but when I do I put hundreds of miles on it at a time. Love the car so much I'm going to drive the wheels off it. To me its still a garage queen because its sits in there so long sometimes before I drive it. The car looks showroom quality very OCD Cleaning after any weekend I go out. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sleeping now in hibernation until Spring

2018 M7 Z06/Z07 bought used at the end of July with 747 miles on it (original owner had for 11 months). I just went & looked & it has 1,518 miles on it now. 
I need to stop driving it so much.
I hope no one takes that seriously. I would drive it more but I just don't have the time to do so & my daily commute is walking from one room to another (my previous Vettes were daily drivers). I haven't even started it in 2+ weeks. The weather has been awesome all weekend (low to mid 70s) so I'm definitely going to take it for a spin this afternoon or early evening come hell or high water. I didn't buy it to stare at it but that's how it has been working out so far. Every other day I debate whether I should just get rid of it or not. If it's just going to sit there what's the point in keeping it.
