Default How many miles this years?

I pulled my '31 town sedan out of a garage one year ago today, she sat in that garage for 53 years, never starting, never moving.
Took me a few months to get her back on the road, but since I started driving her back in March I have put 517.4 miles on her, this first year/season.
How many miles have you put on this year/season?

I too, have done a little more than 500 miles. Plan to do more next summer and maybe this winter too, weather permitting, since i now have a quiet exhaust system......

About 1000. We only have a 6 month season. I always have the top down so I miss some time due to the cold and I no longer like cold. I drive/ride other 'old' things during the 'season' for another few thousand.
In the 8 months back home in the north country I put 1600 miles so far on the 'new' truck. All other miles are in something 'old' . I like old, I'm old, so we match.

This year, a little over 4,000 miles. Which is quite a bit less than the 10,000 we've done in past short seasons.

Moved all of the pieces 25 miles from the farm back to the shop at home. Trying to sell off everything I can not store. Farm is up for sale soon so my storage is soon gone. Rod

I put 37 miles on my speedo with a drill motor, in reverse, while freeing up the main shaft! Yes, I reported the odometer reading to AAA!
