Got my car 09/09 and it has 575 miles on it now. 700+ crank hp since brand new. Never washed, never seen rain since I received it.

Doesnt sound like you enjoy your car! If i had the horsepower you say you have I would have been through three sets of tires.

But I bought it to drive as much as possible. Hell I got my car the last weekend of March and took it to Vegas the first weekend of April. That means I had more miles on my car in the first 8 days I had mine then you have in over two years haha.

I do enjoy owning it - unfortunately when you have OCD things such as road chips, dirt, rain and other things take the enjoyment out of it by using it. I do drive it from time to time - but for the most part enjoy checking it out in the garage.

I store the car from November to mid April, not driving it for 6 months helps keep the miles low. The car is not my primary car.

How many of you guys are trying to keep from putting on a bunch of miles on your car? Or iam I the only one that is trying to keep my mileage low?

There's something to be said for preservation, but like that wise friend of yours stated- if you don't enjoy the car now, the next guy will end up having all the fun you didn't.

mine is a daily driver, even though we have other vehicles.. i just feel like i'm cheating on her when i don't drive her.. besides i bought her to drive her. Vrrrrrrrrrrooooooooom!

Mine is a weekend only car but haven't had as much time to just get out and drive it as I would like. My SS is a 2011, had it about a 1 1/2 years now and has 300 miles on it.

I'm not trying to, but the miles seem to just magically add up. 33K and counting on my '10

jkchambless · 02-03-2012, 03:06 PM

Got mine in July '09 - 48500 and change - still on factory tires. It's my daily driver and since I am a consultant I drive daily; sometimes to multiple clients.

AieaboyHI · 02-03-2012, 03:17 PM

18,400 in 14 months.

NASCR3 · 02-03-2012, 03:26 PM

733 total miles since, October 14, 2010. Probably won't get past 1000 this summer either.

You can't find time to put more the 300 miles on it?

alfie43 · 02-03-2012, 04:10 PM

Yes....we'll just drop this pointless conversation.

I never should have replied to your criticism of me......"silence is the best reply to a fool".

"any bling bling under the hood"

So that's what this is about. What are you...a teenager?
