Can I ask why anyone would only drive 800-2000 a year? I drive like 1,000 miles a month and that's with me trying not to drive it as much as I want to.

I drive my beater about 1200 miles a month, my camaro around 600-1000 a month so that averages out to about 24k + a year I drive.

Yeah mine is a garage queen. Im still suprised how that 3,000 miles added up. In contrast my truck had 32000 miles in 2 years. My eclipse prob has had 3,000 miles on it in the past 5 years. But my new beater has about 3500 on it in 3 months.

Not to offend anyone, cuz I feel bad when I put miles on my camaro, but what's the point of it just sitting in the garage? I can understand if you don't have the time to drive it, I usually just drive it on the weekends cuz i'm too busy during the week with work and ****.

Well i'd probably put a lot less miles on it if my cruise spot wasn't a 50 mile round trip everytime i go there...

I think the opposite. How the **** are some people driving 27k miles a year? That's rediculous.

2006 0 miles because 1 i was in iraq2 it was broken. this year since january when i finally was able to drive it about 4500. thats low because i have been training for the last 3 months, and we have 2 other cars. but neither are as cool as the camaro. the tahoe is pretty close though. which now has 110000 and when i bought last march it had 88,000.

About 900 last year.

Bought it in 2002 with 77k it now has 98,100 on it. This year I would like to drive it a little more though. If it hits 100k who cares, there aren't too many parts in the car that haven't been upgraded to brand new.

i probably put around 20k on it from the time i got it shipped here to now... Kinda sad when you figure that I live on a friggin island. and all the time my company likes to spend in green cylce training. Lookin forward to deployment so I can give my car a much needed break
