Anyone have lower miles? Mine has ....
I just rolled over 15,000 miles on my 2014 Z51. Other than oil/filter changes I haven't had to do any maintenance or repairs and it runs like a top. I still love driving it. I drive it to work about twice a week and on weekends during dry days only. What year Vette do you have and how many miles?

A thread bragging about not driving your C7? That’s a new one.

2022 C7 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Finalist 2020 C7 of the Year -- Modified
I bought my '19 Z06 in May and she's only got 3,300 miles on her. I had expected to have 2 or 3 times that many miles on her by now, but for a variety of reasons I wasn't able to drive her as much as I wanted over the summer.
I'm going the other direction with my 'Vette, my goal is to have one of the higher mileage cars here. Winters in New Mexico are pretty mild, so as long as there's no snow on the ground, I plan on driving my Z06 year round. Corvette's are built to drive and that's what I plan on doing. And yes, if I had good China, I'd use that every day too!

My wife and I inherited my father-in-laws '16 Z51 when he passed in July. When we uncovered it and checked the battery it had 2405 miles still with temp license tags and accessories in the trunk. We brought her home a few weeks ago and washed it probably for the first time, hand rubbed it with sealer glaze then wax and cleaned the interior. We've only driven it a few times since we picked it up, but we now have 2590 enjoyable miles. We are planning on taking it on a road trip from Dallas to Nashville then Bowling Green to visit the museum and factory in a couple weeks. We want to honor her dad's memory by driving and enjoying his Vette, making new memories, and visit where it was built.
I've been involved with Chevrolet's since I was in middle school restoring/hot rodding '57 Chevy's with my dad. I've driven a number of C1 and C2's, but never anything newer. When I drove the Corvette home it was an experience I will never forget. It felt like my father-in-law was riding shotgun enjoying the ride. At least I hope he was.
I will take some pic's and chronicle the trip when we get back and share the experience with everyone. I've been reading this forum learning about the C7 and I am really impressed by the knowledge and help everyone gives. Thank You All!

I have over 26600 miles on mine since the end of December 2018. It seems sad that people buy such a great car and don't drive it much.

Not a record I care to achieve...
Nothing to be proud of.
The car is a fantastic performance machine, why wouldn't you drive it as much as possible?
I have a 2019 with 11,870 miles and I would like add more.
So much so, I replaced the PSS tires with all seasons (yeah I know) so I can drive it year round.
Have fun waxing it

Someone will thank you for purchasing, taking the depreciation hit and storing it for them @ a steep discount!
Put some miles on it they arent some collectible! Memories are made on the road.

And here I thought *I* was a slacker!
'19 GS, took delivery Nov 6th, 2018. Currently 8820 on the clock
(of course I DID lose a month of driving it in April)

2017 GS convertible, currently has a touch over 26,600 miles! 1st owner did almost 25k the 2 years they had it. I bought it early August 2019 and flipped 25k on the way home. Since August, I've done the last 1600 miles. Not bad for 2 months, and it's not my DD. I'm hoping to enjoy as many miles as I can with it, and have no desire to leave it low for the next person.

Bought my 2019 Artic White Corvette Stingray on September 21. It had 6 miles on the odometer, drove it home from Serpentini Chevrolet in Strongsville, Ohio and then to dinner with my wife. It now has 100 miles on it. Going to have it Xpeled next Wednesday by ClearBra Indy - they were at the 25th Anniversary and I spent time watching them computer cut and apply the film. I was impressed with the ease that it was put on. My buddy just purchased a never titled 2018 Watkins Glen Gray Metallic (had 8 miles on it) from the same dealership. We both are taking them to Indy for the Xpel.

Have more than 800,000 miles on Corvettes in 30 years..... great road cars, handle wonderfully, lots of luggage space - teriffic gas mileage... comfortable.....
To quote myself, "No one on his death bed ever said, 'I wish I'd driven the Corvette less.'"
