Default Average Vette miles per month?

How many miles do you average on your Vette per month.. Not concerning your other vehicles, or what your wife drives, who drives it etc... just how many average miles per month on car.

Probably 50 - 150 depending on how much time I have to play.

Whew, I missed the garage queen category at 500mi average. I don't drive every day, but I do drive it hard at times. Had on the track 9 days and took some long trips to Detroit, MI and Jackson, MS. I have a Ford Fusion for DD which takes the most abuse.

86,750 in 37 months! I'm even having second thoughts about trading it in for a Z06 now. The current Stingray only issue has been the belt tensioner pulley at 37,000 miles started to whine and was replaced under the warranty. This car has been by far the most reliable machine I have ever owned, let alone fun!

Typically both of them get 1-2 days a week use, ends up being 1-2 full tanks in a month, so 300-500 typically. Much less in winter, more in summer.

About 600 to 700 per month from April to September - then zero from October to March due to winter storage.

I'm a slacker with my new GS.

Haven't even turned 1,000 miles yet! (might have something to do with the time of year perhaps )

Bought mine in May and broke 10,000 today... These were made to be driven. I even live in cold country. Just put on All Seasons and go baby! I did not buy this to sit in a garage....

I drive her 3-4 times a week and love every mile. I’ll be getting her wrapped this month and will start driving a lot more!! Not saving miles and will have this car for many many years!!

Bought mine last December so it's been a year. Average is right at 600 miles per month. I don't drive it to work very often or it would be quite a bit more. I work 7 on 7 off so if I'm off, I'm in it rain or shine. I bought it to drive, not sit in the garage. First oil change coming up tomorrow.

I'm glad that it was a garage queen when I bought it with only 4K miles in 2yrs. That said, I buy cars to drive. So, that's what I do with this 'vert.

How much? (Mine's a vert, too.)

I drive my 71 and 85 daily if no rain or snow. There are meets and shows almost all year.

Don't care if I get caught in the rain - just don't want to start in the rain.
