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.

Bought the car 4/14/06 with 28k miles

Car had 49k miles as of 4/14/08

So, 21k miles in 24 months = 10.5k mi / year

( and I don't drive it in the winter )

Garage
4-5k per year here. It is a weekend toy only. I use it once or twice a week for joyrides and a little canyon carving year around. I hate driving it on crowded stop and go LA freeways. Still the most fun car I have ever owned.

Previous owner - 5,000/year
Me - 1,000 to 1,500/ year

Not that I try not to drive it, just have several toy cars and I don't drive that much. I don't even drive my daily more than 10,000/year.

One cool thing about not driving it that much is that when I do drive it, it's like driving a new car that amazes me and makes me a giddy kid.

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
