I hear you... I took one of my vehicles for the inspection/emissions test and realized I drove it 078 miles in 2 years.

Mine is my daily driver spring-fall. It get's parked for the winter. I drive it everywhere unless I need to carry more than 2 people. I rack up about 5000 miles/year on it.

It's too much fun to let sit in the garage unless there is snow on the ground.

Mine is in a constant cycle of being driven and upgraded at the same time (as is the case with the vast majority of cars on here)...given my budget and availability of my time. That being said, I have managed to put about 36,000 miles on the car since 2010-ish..

I've gotten the transmission fixed..there was a metallurgy problem with 1st and 2nd gear sets and they had to be replaced...they are permanently part of this big metal part that another 2 gears slide over...anyway..I plan on doing road trips with it next year...this was the last thing holding it back...everything else has pretty much been cleaned, refreshed, replaced, upgraded, adjusted, lubricated, etc. etc. etc...it's been a long hard haul...but worth every scraped knuckle...wouldn't trade it for the world.

When it's nice out and I don't need air conditioning, it's my primary vehicle...every day....all day...I don't care how many miles I put on it...these cars weren't engineered to have an expected life...they can be driven for as many miles as you want.

Only picked her up in March this year, 480 mile drive back home, unfortunately this was the start of our winter, so only another 100 miles over this time, however it is now SUMMER!!!

Intend taking her away over our Xmas break, so we will add another 500+miles, then back to a Sunday driver.


Tanz and I out to pick up some plants for the garden, oh, and a coffee!! .

I just recently picked up an '88 S4. So far I've put about 1k miles on it, but it will be the new everyday car.

The 87 S4 was my DD for almost 2 years so averaged just under 15,000 per year. Now that I have the 99 996, it does DD duty as well so probably around 6,000 a year for the S4. The GTS gets around 3,000 a year..trips to SITM, Frenzy and weekend use.

I do over 1K miles per month on my 81 and did about 1400 per month while in college.

So I guess I do over 15K miles per year on my 81 and have only done about 2K on my 89 as I've only driven it 3 months.

My 928s get exercised and only get better.

With the 86.5 Great White Shark I averaged over 20,000 mile per year... Only had the Black 86.5 for 6 months, but still put on 6,000 miles... I've had the 84 Euro in & out of tech sessions since putting her together 12 months ago so I've only accumulated 10,000 miles... Needless to say, I'm not saving this car for the next owner! These cars were made to be DRIVEN... not polished and stared at...

I am lucky if I get in 300 a year, summer weekends only and no longer trips.

If I don't burn through a full tank of fuel I know I have a problem in the making even with a large percentage of fresh prior to winter storage.
