I drive the Cobra about 4500 miles per year. I do have a '04 Viper that has 78000 miles on it. I tell people that are surprised by the mileage on the Viper that I didn't buy it for my wife's next husband if I have a heart attack and die---I bought it for ME

I'm averaging about 3800 miles a year with 800 having been added on our PCH cruise last September. This September we're going to cruise South Dakota, Mt. Rushmore, Chief Crazy Horse, etc. I put a lot of miles on with early morning or late afternoon rides just north of us on some very nice farm to market roads. Some of the local Constables are starting to recognize me and usually give me a thumbs up when I go by.

I drive mine, and talk about it. Like to go on the cruises but they are a few and far between in my area. I like the car shows also, doesn't bother me to sit in my lawn chair in the middle of a bunch of beautiful cars with car people.
I agree with the early morning and late afternoon drives in the heat that we are having, but me and my wife did take a 540mile jaunt last weekend and I ended up looking like a lobster!
Sun screen only does so much!

Our driving season in the Northwet is about three and a half months but I still manage about 6 or 7K a year. I got the car to drive it and I do that whenever I can.
I make one long (5 or 6 day) cruise a year (about 1200 miles) with the Denver club (Cruise Colorado) that is a total blast. A couple of other 3 day localish events and the rest is done through weekend get togethers and solo drives. I'll sometimes drive the car to these events even when they're 500 miles away. Other times I'll trailer to the event.
During the normal non-driving portion of the year I still try to get out if we get at least a 2 day break in the weather.
Not a big fan of entering shows although I do one or two a season if it's for one of the local charities.

Driver - Definately
I'm on Cobra #2 now. #1 drove it 12,000 miles in 2 years, #2 just turned 19,000 in 3.5 years. This includes probably 1,000 miles of track time.

Couple thousand a year if im lucky, not by choice I just dont get a chance that much between work and the weather and family. 3 kids dont fit to well. Sometimes wish I had something different to take the family in.

I guess I'm on the fence between the two. Current Cobra I have had on the road really for just over a year and I have logged 2,180. Would like to do more but so many things going on this past year to get in the way. I did put 150 miles on a drive this past weekend while it was around 100 degrees.
Heck I used to ride a motorcycle in all kinds of weather extremes, thats what i tell myself (but I was a LOT younger then!).

I think I fall in the middle 3500 since last Oct when I picked up the car. Out to cali and back about 700+. I would drive any place without snow or my mother-in law.

Come on, for those of you who don't drive it don't be embarrassed. We'd like to know why.

I definitely talk about mine more than drive it. And I'm proud to say that I do. |
