30,300 almost 2 years to the day. I thought that way too but its too fun to drive and nothing lasts forever.

Bought the car in Dec. drove it till late Jan/Feb, it is a 11 and had 4900 miles and currently is 10,600ish so 5600 in 9 months. Now I have a DD, and if I am lucky the car at most will average 200 miles a month.

Got mine a little over 2 months ago and have almost 4500 on her. I also hate seeing the miles go up but as everyone else has said, why buy it to have it sit and look pretty?

Go enjoy her! These cars want to eat up the miles!

I HATE watching the odometer tick up (it's my first new car) but I have a long commute and I just can't stop driving her; I'm so happy behind the wheel and I love taking her places on weekends-- car shows, races, etc.

I'm hoping some of you guys can make me feel a little better. How many miles did you put on yours in the first couple of months? In the first year? How many miles do you have on your 'maro now and how long have you had it?

I have had my 2SS RS for 11 days now and it has 1125 miles on it. I know what you're saying about watching all these miles rack up each day...but I just can't help myself. I find any excuse to drive it. Just hope that I get 100k trouble free miles out of her. This is my first GM product ever. My only hesitation about buying it was reliability.

I bought my 2011 SS on June 4. It now has 1150 miles. It will probably have less than 5000 by this time next year.

RJsCamaro · 08-25-2011, 05:17 PM

Got mine new with 350 miles on her, because it had to be dealer driven from Kentucky to Georgia and I now have 850 miles on her. The big grin still wont go away!

That's not a Camaro, it's a mantlepiece! Get out there and enjoy that car mang. If you don't, the next guy will.

Just hit 16k on our baby this week, and loved every mile

I enjoy it very much along with my other 2 Camaros, don't have to drive all kinds of miles to enjoy it and it will be a very long time before the next guy has my Camaro.

1,200 miles in less than 3 weeks, but I travel 3 days a week so it sits in the garage those days (I drive my old car to the airport). When I do drive mine, it's 100 miles or more a day.

I have a long commute as well. I would suggest a $500-$1000 beater Toyota. Mine had 8 miles on it upon delivery. It has 17700 on it now. The first year I put a little over 12K on it. This year it hasn't been driven as much. Basically the Camaro is a vacation/travel car so all the mileage came from road trips and not commuting. The Tercel does the daily I5 battle.
