Default Most miles in a year?

I've put 8000 miles on my 2004 Red Coupe in 6 months! Yes, I am enjoying the Crossfire! And I am working full time (17 miles away), while car-pooling.

Which means these are mostly 'cruising miles'!

My Crossfires don't rack up the miles unless I go on a long trip. I bought my '6 coupe in September '11 with about 25k on the clock. After two Dragon visits, it now just has a hair under 40K. If I didn't take the trips, it would probably have less than 30K.

I've about doubled the miles on my roadster since I purchased it. From ~4k miles to ~8k miles in 6 years.

I know, I know Evan. She's been a garage queen that brings a smile to my face every time I walk into the garage. And every time I get behind the wheel I get the same thrill I had when I drove her home from the dealership in Bonham. But now, my wonderful bride says things are about to change as she LOVES rides in it. Next road trip...to CAA4.

I've put on 50,000 in just over 3 years. I started my current job in September, 76 mile round trip commute. That odometer is really climbing fast now...

I think ERZER is at 100 Grand in less than four years. Me, I put 37K on mine in three years and Zero from April 2012 to May of 2013.
That was one long year.

I once drove 11000 miles in two weeks in a brand new car I ordered, two weeks after I took delivery of it.
Started my trip in Akron Oh. drove to South LA. went up the coastal highway to San Francisco, then headed to Ft. Laderdale, an back to Ohio.
Camped in the car every other night.

That's only 7,236 miles, does you wife know who you camped with for those other 2,800 miles ?

Gee, ain't we nit-picky here on this forum ......

I didn't include "ALL" the side trips along the way, and it was in 1973 with my 19 year old girlfriend. So yes, my Wife is familiar with "some" of my sordid past.

My cars used to be garage queens, but after reading a few posts, I turned them into dd's. The black one with the lowest mileage obviously gets the most driving. I just decided to say screw it and drive them. Since then (about 2-3 months ago), my co-workers ask about them all the time and I've come up with a sort of truncated answer (M/B-Chrysler? many didn't know that happened). Since my wife passed away, I've slowly come out of my collector-pristine shell and just decided to have fun with these two. They are such great cars and each drive is a treat. I'll always own them both (they have all the basics to keep me happy. I'm not worried about connectivity, I'll get around to it when I get home). The look on other drivers faces is always priceless when I blur by them to get to a comfortable spot on the road and our roads are usually quite congested. It's a 2005 car that doesn't feel nor look dated at all. I'm very lucky to own two.
