Default Midwest owners: How many miles do you average per year?

Just wondering what the average number of miles per year midwest owners put on their corvette. I myself have averaged just under 3k.

This is my first Vette so I have only this summers season to report. I drove it out of the garage in April with just 27 miles on the clock and as of today I have 3400. But 2000 of that is because I drove it to Talladega in May, and 54 miles of that around the track. I have no more road trips planned just weekend cruisin, so when I put it up for the winter I should have 4000 something.

Averaged about 4,000 miles a year the last 20 years in a vette and will do about that in my 2009 Viper.

Between 2-3K per year. I think it has spent more time on the dyno than on the road this year!

I bought mine with just under 2,000 miles, 700 mile ride home, now at 3,300 miles. So I'm under 1k "real" miles...

Hopefully I'll add a few more next summer!
