Looks like Ceastham1 is literally running circles around the rest of us.
The history of my 1979 is 96,000 miles, so 2,900 miles avg a yr. Living in the South, I can use it pretty much yr round now but previous owner lived in CT. Limited use.

outstanding memory !!!
Hmmm that would require two answers - average & current as every year since I got her (2007) I have increased my yearly milage incrementally. 
54M when I got her & 69M on her now & it's been exactly 5 yrs. So average would be 3m/yr
Actual? 7M this past yr, 5M in 2011, 2M - 2010, 800 - 2009(afraid to drive her too much) & 200 - 2008 (mostly in the garage...lol)
What can I say...I love to drive her!

I have owned my 1980 since new. When I parked it in 1992 the odometer showed 122xxx miles.

So about 10.2k per year. I drove the living crap out of that car and it showed at the end. Worn out suspension, tires, and looks. Man I loved thrashing it, not this next time tho.
Since 1992 0 miles. Still working on the frame off, it just seems to be a slow slog right now. Down to the doors, interior, windshield and paint left to go.
Someday my love someday. A song I heard. I'll get r done.

In my case it's how many feet, from the garage to outside.........back to the garage, then moving it around in the garage. Next Spring........hopefully on the road!

Depends.
Every year is different.
Some years as little as 4K.
Some years up to 10K.
I think 2013 will be a record year.
Just turned 143K, but there is at least another 500 miles on her for broken speedo cables.
I love to drive her and we are heading out for a little rally with the local club this afternoon.
I hope the roads dry up by then.

Vette(s): 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe

I bought mine in Jan. 2010 with 86k miles. Drove it home 300 miles, then
drove it to Corvettes at Carlisle in Summer 2010 and every day for
about 6 months. (about 6,000 miles). Drove it once a week the following
year, but it's been sitting unused this year - and now there are some
issues I will attend to.
A rad leak and a current no-start due to suspected carb (I will be installing a numbers matching rebuilt Q-Jet I bought last year to replace the Holley 4360. I'm also going to have the a/c serviced as well which was not working when I bought it.
I missed driving the Corvette this year but I put all my available resources towards a 2k miles Cosworth Vega I had my eyes on since 2003, bought in August. It was photographed last month by Motor Trend and will be featured in Motor Trend Classic magazine in the Spring 2013 issue.
I will attend the 2013 Corvettes at Carlisle event I missed the last two years, and will be driving the Corvette again at least a couple of times a week.
