For those of you who are mathematically inclined divide this out it works out to <2000 miles a year (remember these cars are over 20 years old). It's possible but methinks snowballs and hell go together quite nicely to describe the likelihood. David Albrecht General Electric

[] Har har and yuk yuk to you Dave!! My 64 Chevy (Corvette) has just over 60,000 miles (no, it's not gone around once). I don't find the request for that mileage to be to unreasonable. I also have a 1957 automobile that just turned over 120,000, that's only about 4,200 a year. Maybe we could find out who has the oldest car (older then 1970 let's say) with the least number of miles/year. Might be interesting. Phil Gunsul (with a 2,857 miles/year 1964!)

I just bought a car from '69 with 33,000 on it. Granted it hadn't been driven since 1980, and I've since put the same amount of money into it that I paid for it, But it is STill a bargain.

Apparently there are more cars out there not being driven than I would have thought. Even so I don't think your case is particularly a fair comparison. I could easily believe there are a large number of people out there that own sports cars and only drive them occasionaly to keep them in good shape and beat the family sedan to death instead. However, I don't consider the cars in the original article anything like a sports car. I also hadn't considered that some car aficianados have an entire car lot in their driveway therefore must divide a reasonable yearly mileage by the number of cars they drive.

How about this one then? A friend of mine acquired a 1967 Ford Falcon (hardly a sports car) from his father a little over a year ago. It had a little over 40,000 miles on it...original! It was used every day by that family (of course it was only about 5 miles per day) for work. True, they also had a large station wagon, but that usually stayed home for the mother. Since my friend has gotten ahold of it, he's put more miles on it, but this startled me when I realized it. And the family is in no way car aficiandfos. -Steve Cooper
