Just wondering how many miles a year and how often you drive your cars?
me very few lol..bought it december and have only driven 120 miles..my big problem is my chronic OCD..each time i drive it it will take me 3 hours to clean it.plus there has to be zero chance of rain..even if the forecast shows like 5% it never comes out the garage.
i need to get a grip and drive the damn thing i rekon

After almost 2 years, I'm around 600 average per year. This year with all the stuff going on, it's only been out a few times. I think I've only filled the tank completely up once so far since owning

LOL almost as bad as me then.

I've got the same sickness.
Mine may get 200 miles this year. I'm just too busy to drive it and like you it gets detailed after every drive.

Yeah pretty much the same thing here across the board as you stated. Plus just look at that mess of a garage. That alone should shed light on my issues lol.

If the damn drag strips would open back up, I'd put more miles on my car.

sergos · 07-20-2020, 11:13 AM

A little bit more then you 150 miles, cos of the same problem

drew peacock · 07-20-2020, 11:16 AM

plus stone chips worry me.no way i would ever drive on a motorway or tailgate anyone.
already got 2 from just the 120 miles i have driven it. got the yearly inspection in 2 weeks time..even someone touching my car sets my ocd off...

I purchased the Z in Oct of last year. I've logged nearly 1000 "late night" therapy miles. Mileage currently is near 4500. The 2LS is the DD. It sees about 9-10K per year. Odometer just over 50K. Machinery that sits too long develops it's own odd problems. OCD or not, you folks owe it to yourselves AND your vehicle to get a 20 mile jaunt in once a week. Situation and weather permitting of course.

I feel your pain.
I specifically asked the mech doing the state inspection to drive around the big friggin' huge mud puddle. Eff me, right thru it. West texas mud is clay, sand, horse turd, and super glue.

And I thought I was bad! Jeez, guys, I’m pretty anal but I’ve averaged 4000 a year since buying it in June ‘15. I just detailed it from a 60 mile R/T yesterday. I might let a Z/28 sit but I’m going to drive this one a bit.

Panda1LE · 07-20-2020, 01:12 PM

if i drove to work every day and back, which I don't since we have a vanpool, it would be 160 miles a day, 5 days a week. So about 800 miles a week, 3200 a month, over 38k a year! dam, no wonder I am at 85k and that is like I said, driving only sporadically.

Ok, time to outsource the wall waxing to a capable family member. Jump in that BAD-ASS orange beast of yours an increase your carbon footprint!!! Throw some AC/DC or Judas Priest on that phonograph upon returning. Enjoy your possessions my friend.
