For a variety of reasons "The Toy" hasn't left the garage for a couple years. The odometer quit working on the way home from the 50th back in '03 so I have no clue how many miles are on it now. Prior to "The Beast" and "BIGBRRD" arriving I was driving "The Toy" as much as I could between late March and early December. But if smiles could be converted to miles I'd have to estimate somewhere around a million miles a year...!!!

1200-1500. But only if it ain't rainin.
Clint, what about the 2nd one? It seemed to work well in Hot Springs.
Maybe Joel & I are the only ones who got Clint when he says Zero. The question is how many miles on your C3, Clint does not own a C3!

DAVE, I caught it, but was being suttle when I mentioned the "2"nd one.

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed
Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses.
2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
The car had 8900 (not a typo) miles on it when I bought it back in 2006. It's almost to 41,000 now, so that puts it at just over 5K per year during my ownership.
If you look at the other owners, that works out to about 280 miles a year.
For the life of the car, it's just under 1100 mi/yr
I briefly considered trying to keep the mileage really low, but
I BOUGHT IT TO DRIVE IT!!!!
I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Clint - how many miles is 6-5+2?

being from northwest PA. it all depends on how early spring or winter arrive. This year I'm at 1051 miles and counting hopefully I get some more rides in and then I will put it in garage for the winter where I can work on the list I've made for winter fix up and being retired I enjoy that part of it too and it keeps me out of the wife's way.
