Default How many miles do you drive a year???

I had my car about 2 years ago and put on 11k miles without any road trips.

It's a fun weekend car that never comes out to play if its raining, but I still manage to rack up about 3 or 4K miles per year, just driving around the Metroplex.

The norm has been around 3K miles a year in just about all the P-cars I've had. I wish I had the time to drive my car more.

I've had mine 2yrs and 10 months, covered 31,400 miles.

My eye wanders occasionally but when it comes down to it there's nothing else at this point in my life that I'd rather be driving. And rain is more fun than dry with this car, good thing.

Each car sees at least 8,000 miles during the driving season. The Turbo gets out in March/April and then put into storage in late November. The Boxster comes out in April/May and is in hibernation by mid October. Weekend toys on sunny rain free days.

When I bought the Turbo in November of 2009 it had 32,000 miles. When it went into storage in December it had over 56,000. The Boxster has over 46,000 miles, and they are all mine.

I drive 'em but I treat 'em like garage queens.

Really, that's it? It seems like it's been longer. I would trade my C4 for a GT3, but that's about it.

PCA Auto-X this Saturday, & it's FREE for PCA members! It would be fun to see ya out there!

That is just SAD! I did half your yearly miles in one weekend going to Rennsport.

Maybe this is why I need new tires every year....
