We just returned last night from a 3,200 mile road trip in our van. My sister joined my wife me to travel out to New Mexico and Colorado. We rode the Cumbres narrow gauge railroad (my favorite train ride) from Chama, NM to Antonito, CO on Thursday. The colors were just right and no clouds for our ride. The next day we traveled to Durango, CO. Saturday we rode the train to Silverton and back. From there we traveled to Kremming, CO. The next day we drove through Rocky Mountain National Park and continued east. We stopped at North Platte, NB and went to the Baily Yard. We then went north to highway 2 and east to see the sand dunes of Nebraska. My sister joins us for rode trips at least twice a year, so it is important to me to be able to that, instead of driving our Vette.
Below is my mileage record of 60 years:
Safe travels and good health to all,

Less than 1,000 miles combined for my 65 and 67. Can't blame the weather, just did not drive them enough. I did drive my TR4 and MGB/GT a bunch. New members of the stable always get a lot of attention. Next year the Corvettes will get the attention they deserve.
I average 6000 miles per year. Maybe a bit less this year because of our wretchedly hot July-September. I'm driving it every day now...40 miles per day, so we'll see where we end up.
I have been pretty consistent. I've owned mine for 9+ years. I run about 200-300 miles per year. I drive it roughly every 2 months. Drives are 20-40 miles each time.

Same here, with two standing lunch dates per week, trips to town, and a couple of runs to Shreveport or Fredericksburg it adds up. Sometimes it is necessary to drive my truck, but my 67 is my go-to vehicle. And like Leif said, Summer is not the best driving season in Texas, but we do get to drive our Corvettes year-round Rain or shine, LS/TKX, full power and AC, rock solid dependable.

This is looking really good. I bet you can't wait to get it back.
After refreshing the cooling system mid- summer, I'm finally getting the 65 to where I can trust its reliability. We put almost 2000 fun miles on it this year. Hoping for an Indian Summer in the northwest.
