Thought about this after this thread.

How many miles do you put on your f-body each year on average?

Z stays in our garage April-October, and offsite storage unit during the winter. Has gotten caught in rain 3x in 10 years out of nowhere. Hasn't seen salt since Sept 01. Dunno about before that.

66,600 on it Sept 01 when purchased. As it sits, 74,500ish. Most of them were 07-09. Car probably has 350-400 miles this year so far and won't see much more than that.

Yes that's 7900 miles in 2 weeks shy of 10 years.

The odometer on my Camaro has barely moved since I bought it in June '03.

that's what happens when the car has been an ongoing project since you bought it. :)

This year I've only done about 1500. Last year was less at about 1100.

-My work commute is 20 miles one way. I split it between the truck and LS1 so you can do the math. :)

-The LT1 hasn't been on the road for a few years, and if it was the odometer doesn't work.

-Motorcycle is 2007 with 4200 miles on it, and the last 2 years I put maybe 300 on it.<

I have probably put under 200 miles on the firebird since I got it 6 years ago...even if I registered it again it would probably see less than 100 miles a year.

The formula has about 500 miles of mine on it since I got it on august 6th. I want to daily drive it but it's so nice to hop in a car with working ac, seat warmers and a nice radio and just drive..

My bike had about 600 miles from me when I sold it in July, I've had it since December 08.

It's strange I never understood why I get so much enjoyment out of things even though I didn't use them until I was watching love the beast..

My DD gets about 300-350 a week, so about 15k + a year...

I bought my 99 T/A to daily drive, should have it on the road next week so I can give my Suburban a break. On average I drive between 50 and 70k miles a year, put 54k miles on my Suburban in the last 10 months.

I only drive mine when its between 75 and 85 with 0% chance of rain. Here in NJ, that's about 40 days a year, right?

It will be a year since I got my camaro in 3 weeks. I put right around 4000 on it since I bought it. I didnt get my license till January so about 3000 of those 4000 came after Janaury. Work is a solid 0.7 miles from my house and school is 5 mins away so I'm never really traveling too far on a dialy basis...

Less than 1 mile on the 69 in the last 11-1/2 years.

I voted 1000-2500 miles because the poll goes from 1000-2500 to 5000-100000! I put maybe 3000-4000 a year on mine because I don't get a chance to drive it more.

poll needs a 2500-5000 mile option. thats where i would vote on my iroc.

drove it around 3000-3300 miles last year. would love to have done more if time permits...built it to drive & enjoy, not admire a low-mile odometer.

Mileage seems to be pretty evenly spread.

Before I started breaking parts every year I would say 4K to 5K a year ( BTW, there is no 2,500-5,000 range on your poll? This year I've managd 525 miles which is a personal best in almost 8 years!
