I love driving the shit outta my car. I redline daily and have put almost 12k miles since april. It would be more but I have had it sitting because of an accident for a month

 

Bought my car new and now have 17k miles on it. It would have been more but ran into a few issues: #1 replaced soft top and assembly under warranty- took the dealership 3 months (rental car for that time) #2 blow out caused damage- 3 months later got the car back then right into storage.
#3 was hit by a drunk driver while riding my bike and have been unable to drive a manual since. Finally, I only drive it for six months out of the year due to New England weather. This gives me a bit over 3k miles a year driving. Next year I hope to put on a lot more.

 

It's sad that someone has owned those cars and not enjoyed them for what they were meant to be. My MY03 has 82,000+ . I drive it everyday with the top down. These are not going to be classics, at least not in my lifetime. I don't buy cars to save for the next owner. My real admiration is to those who choose to modify and race these cars. Use it up and enjoy it!

 

Here's my thing. I buy cars for the thrill of driving it....not a garage queen. All the numbers and specs doesn't mean anything if it stays in the garage/parking lot. If you want a garage queen, get a replica of a Ferrari or something. Anything less than 5k miles is kinda ridiculous.

 

I do enjoy driving. The miles stay low because my driving is divided between
nine vehicles. I drive about 30K miles per year.

 

i dont know about the case of some of the older members on here, but i take the train to work and only go to school 2 days a week. in my case, i dont purposely go out of my way to not drive the car. in fact, i drive it everywhere when my gf and me go out. i just genuinely dont drive alot of miles.

 

My 04 has 12,700
