Garage
The previous owner averaged 2k miles a year, I have had the car for one year and put on about 10k miles.

15k+ for me it's a daily driver and a daily fun machine.

Under 3k for me. '99, bought new, less than 26k mi. to date.

It's not a Garage Queen by intent, but it's not a daily driver (I office from home). It is stored each snowy, cold, winter - because you can't drive it as intended in the weather we get so what's the point? And, I have several other toys which merit their share of attention too.

In fact, I've decided that this year is a test year. What with the price of fuel and such, if I don't use it much this year, I think I'm gonna time capsule it and sell it in 10-20 yrs. and double whatever I could get for it today.

I put close to 30K on the car in the less than two years I have owned it. I plan on putting on 6K or more in the next two months, yikes,

Mine is a driving machine that I treat like a garage queen!

I did about 7,000 miles my first year.

Did just over 10,000 miles last year, with a trip to The Tail of the Dragon.

Keep in mind, I drive my car about once per week and only from April till October. I'll take it out on a Saturday morning and do 400 miles, be parked in the garage by 3:00 PM.

Miles to go...

I bought my first Porsche (used) in December and I have 1k on her so far this winter. This summer should see another 4k for a total of 5-6k this year. It sure cured my midlife crisis!
Total milage to date= 97.5K
