Ffppplllpp....Frank, you don’t qualify, man! Your cars are worth WAY more than that!

But seriously, interesting post. I’d say for me, 1 to 3 miles tops. I sell them after they’re done and don’t own one long enough to drive them!!
Or the other reason that comes to mind is it sits too long so when I go to start it, something breaks, leaks, or something else that causes cars not to start which I can’t figure out happens, so I go home frustrated and try the following week! Hey, you know? That then usually leads into the first point!!! HA!

I always keep one car in Florida and drive it regularly over the winter - probably 500-1,000 miles. The "trailer queens" just get driven around the block several times a year.

Whatever the value of my cars which range from 50K to 200k I drive them at least a tank of gas per year others more not only to replenish fresh cam2 110 leaded but to keep gaskets and seals from drying up. I always say “ you can’t drive them when you’re dead” life is too short.

Each time I make run down the 1320 I add a little more than a mile to mine. By the time I drive from the pits to the lanes, do a burnout, make a run, slow down and drive back it totals to over a mile. So to answer your question, I don’t add too much to the odometer, but I’d be willing to bet my “fun per mile driven” is among the highest percentage! When the Camaro gets finished, should be on par with the Olds. Great topic of conversation by the way!

I don't own anything in that price range ! but my 67 Camaro I built almost 30 years ago gets driven the most & hardest, maybe 600 miles a year ? My "unrestored/survivor" 70 RS Z/28 had 32,266 miles on it when I got it in 2011, now has 33,900, I usually go thru 2 tanks off gas a year in it , And I just recently found a 3 owner 'unrestored/original paint 86,000 mile 68 Corvette 427 coupe, that I plan to let my wife & I drive the hell out of it !!! Life & Work are way to hectic to to have the time be able to get them out more. but mostly I love just hanging in the garage tinkering,& looking at them ,especially during the colder months. But I day dream all day, everyday about them. Just knowing their in the there ready to go when the garage doors comes up !!! sorry for the long post guys

Insure the heck out of them, choose off hours to drive and enjoy the ride.

Truth.
Too many drivers are preoccupied today with electronic devices.Be afraid of that more then anything else.I pick odd hours of the week to stretch my cars legs.
I was on the expressway one early Sunday AM doing doing 25 over the limit.Cop pulled me over,and asked why? I told him because it's the safest time of the week to do this..He grinned,told me to slow down & let me go..

I agree...off hours are best, especially early morning on a nice day...the cool air makes them run better
