How many miles a year does your daily driver F-body get
The question is for those who drive a F-body as a daily driver how many miles a year do your average? Im glad to hear input on what your daily driver gets even if its not an F-body but mostly looking towards those who daily drive an fbody such as myself
Exactly one year since i got mine ive done 26,000 miles

Whoops, missed the DD part.
My garage queen is car #4 and gets ~3000 miles
Then again my beater truck has gotten <4000 miles in 6 years, my DD gets about 6000 a year. The real family truckster pilot gets ~17,000 a year.

My '01 Cherokee is the daily driver, and gets about 8K miles a year. My wife's Liberty is driven under 5K miles a year, and the Monte is the absolute lowest. I've owned it 5 years, and have put only 5K miles on it.  Of course, it went through a complete drivetrain swap in that time, and another motor swap after a few years, but still - I miss driving it! It's broken in my garage again, waiting for me to install some new rotors/pads/bearings in the front.

I dont think i EVER only had one car to drive, but when i did daily drive my SS the majority of the time, aug2001-aug2005, i racked up 62,000miles total(im pretty sure thats what it was). So that was like 15.5k miles a year. Since the new motor april2007-november2008 i think i clocked another 7k miles.
As for other random mileage facts....
Now my most recent DD(non-fbody - SKY) i did 11k miles from june 1st - Dec 1st.....
And as for my Denali... like 34k miles since Sept 2005.
My '96 Dodge ram... 67k miles since 1996...
My '85 iroc has 158k miles on original lg4/t5/10bolt drivetrain...
My '89 iroc chassis has 50k miles..
My '79 Vette lt1(just motor)..6,609 original miles 
I, myself, have driven about 35 miles total since December 29th, 2008....

My daily driver sees about 35k miles a year.
I drive all over the place. When I had my Silveado SS last year I was spending $200.00 per week in gas.
