Maybe 3k worth in commuting and other miscellaneous.

And about half that in travel to/from events.

Just in case everyone missed it, Karens 1LE has 288,000 miles!!!!!

First year we drove our car about 20,000 miles, then 10-12,000, then abuout 1,300.

At around 90,000 I had gears swapped and didn't re-calibrate the computer. So I actually has a little less than 104,000.

The only time it was driven last year was when my wife wanted to go somewhere in town.

This year?..Probbly none. It's obviously still streetable, it's just an ESP car. But miles will just wear the engine more, plus I'm starting to do things to reduce weight that is questionable on a street car.
Like removing the drivers air bag and the seat belts to install harnesses. Not needed but reduces weight.

My 2001 SS, SOM has 25K. Now that I have a trailer it will only see road time for testing. Or when the truck puke's.

My guess is very little road time after next year when full cage (have back half now), suspension (GC and LG upper lower control arms) and fire system installed.

Hope to have new radiator / oil cooler and accusump in this year.

Mine used to see very little. Then I blew the motor in my truck, so now my SS is back to a daily driver, but I only put on 10k a year or so.

I drive it daily. I am limited on parking and can only own 2 cars now (the Z and the wifes car). It's winter now and I drive it still. I tossed the snow rubber on it and "off we go". Besides, driving in this stuff is good training for the "limits of adhesion". Any autocrosser should be able to drive one in the snow (toe out and all)!

Once in a while to work on a sunny day and on weekends. Very little in the winter. Total, about 8k miles a year now. It seems like a bit of a waste driving it on the street after running it hard and fast on the track.

I've got about 95K on my daily driver. Drive it everywhere I need to go (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I live in Florida and it it's parked outside everyday - none of these winter breaks (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

In 6 years I've put about 35K on mine. Most of those are miles going back and forth to events (Memphis, Indy, VIR, etc.).
