Can't stop driving

[10spokess]

So after about a year where I only put 500 miles on the car I decided I would start driving it more. So far in the past two years I have gone from 134Xxx to 138946 today. Who has put more miles on their car in this time, I'm curious to see if I'm drivin more than the average ls1 owner

120,000 when I bought it (9/21/10) 131,000 now.

Its stored winters (Nov30-Apr1)and only driven weekends and to the track and has over 300 passes on her in 2 summers.

I have a V6 Bird that gets DD to work and events like the Jays games and Bills games.

That's it? My wife was putting that on her 2000 SS every month (200 miles a day). Less now that she is working closer to home but still a daily driver that sees 100 miles a week, that's still more than you are driving.

Are you saving that thing for someone else?

We bought hers with 40k miles in about 2007 and now it has about 102k miles. Her 97 Z before that we bought new, it was rearended and totalled with about 120k on the clock in 2007.

Just drive em' and enjoy em'. When the time comes, stick a new engine in it and drive some more

My Z28 had 84k on it when I bought it back in January of this year. I'm currently around 96k now (it's my daily driver).

I bought mine in April 2009, had 44,xxx miles. Today she has 92,108, also my DD.

owned my currezt z ls1 for 3 months, put a 1000 or so on her, and its been parked for the last 2 of those months lol, first for mods, now because its 9 degrees out. come summer, i hope to get at LEAST up 125,000 Bought at 100,000 even
i agree with firebirdjones, drive em drive em drive em.

[Whitefish]

Bought mine in March with 17K now has a shade under 20k....but she is resting comfortably in the garage until the road salt goes bye bye.

[35th-ANV-SS]

I've put around 12K miles on mine in the last 2 years, not including this year. Didn't drive it much this year. Have 24,XXX on it now. Bought it with 3 miles on it after the test drive.

wow. ive owned several f-bodys, currently own 2, but it would have to be wonderful to get one brand new, to know what every mile has been driven like. even tho my z had a perfect carfax/great shape, ya just never know if someone raced it/drove hard sometimes etc. always envy those one owner cars.

[robs98mysticZ]

i bought mine in march 2009 w 133k and now has 178k i only put 6k on it since feb tho less miles this past year cause of mods and what not. i think the first year i had it i put around 14k on it. enjoy it if you dont plan to sell it

[silverWS6]

Went from 77k to 84k from June to December of this year, was DD her 200 miles a week but she is back to being a weekend queen!

[10spokess]

Changing my spark plugs out today and installing the panhard rod relocation kit, panhard bar, lower control arms, and LCA relocation kit. I'm not going to want to stop driving it now.

[Ed's 01 SS]

Understood. Mine had 5 kms on it when I bought it new, now it has 148,000 kms with only summer driving. These cars are really fun to drive.

I have a '00 W.S6 bought it back in Aug 2007 with 74k miles. and it currently has 100k miles exact. damn near most of them from highway driving. Wish i could have put more into her. I think i have done alright considering when i first bought it, it broke down 4 days later sat for 8 months, and have been on two deployments and then broke down again in Sep 2011 for the same issue and is still sitting . Like one of the guys said above...you just never know who drove the car before you and how they drove it....Heck found out that my trans am was stolen and hit a guard rail bahahaha Damn thing has been through some rough times. Hence why I am sitting her down for awhile to fix every little thing on her until she is all prepped. She has been a bitch over the years...but you know what? she is my bitch and I love every problem and great memory I have had with her....All the best times I have ever had driving are with my car....I will drive this thing until I am dead. I dont care if I have to put an electric motor in the car and record the sounds of ls1's until I am dead bahaha. Hence my name above my avatar....Nightmare

[RedFenix_68]

Lol

[Spikito]

youve done 4000 in 2 years, most people put about 10k per year on their DDat your rate, if you had bought your car new in 2002, its have a hair over 20k on it....so yeah, id say youre below average
