I am thinking that many northern owners have their car tucked away for the winter, but I expect many more of you have been able to drive your car. How many miles do have on it now? How long have you owned it?

RedHot was picked up at the Museum on October 29th and currently has 3200+ fantastic fun filled miles on her (and 1 non-fun mile when a new Audi attempted to goad me into responding to their inept engine revving and dogged me until they gave up to my ignoring them and turned off on a side street)

 

[glen e]

just passed 4200

 

[schneid44]

Picked up mine in PA on October 29th. With our weather, I've only logged 433 miles.

 

[wareagle92]

Got mine on Oct 4th. Mileage= 2066. Most of which came from the ride home from the dealership: Columbus, Ohio to Meridian, MS. Doubtful I will be driving it much over next few weeks since I couldn't get an appt to get the "recall" issue fixed by a certified corvette technician until January 14th.

I just passed 1000 miles. I received the car on Thanksgiving and have not been able to take it for a nice Sunday afternoon drive yet. My C7 is not a daily driver but anytime the weather is good I have been enjoying it. Most of my miles have come from driving from the North side of Atlanta to the airport on the South side and back for work. Great ride.

 

[Grandsport]

I drive mine most every day when I am home.935 for now.

I got my C7 last Thursday. It had 8 miles on her. I now have 24. It is cold frozen and foggy here in Eastern WA. It was the best 16 miles of my life. It is sitting in a heated garage and it will never shine more than it does now. Shine, Admire, Shine Admire.....repeat if necessary.

Picked mine up at the museum on December 18th. I've driven it almost ever day since. I love love love this car! I have 846 miles on it.

It will be worth it and look sooooo great Don't be tempted to take it out with temps in the mid 30s or less- way too dicey.

 

[gwm]

Thanks for the advice. I have set my minimum temp for driving at 40 degrees. We have lost of sand/gravel on some roads now. I am waiting for a clear bra to get installed. I am thinking of doing the front end to the windshield and door. Has anyone done the entire car? I would welcome any comments or advice. I will be XPEL

 

[Dasyatis]

I was talking to an installer and they were recommending the front, the hood, the rockers and the areas behind the front & rear wheels.

 

[gwm]

That make a huge amount of sense. Thanks for the input.

 

[Texas2Gun]

I got my C7 11/19 and now have 628 fun filled miles.

Nah just need to make sure tires get up to temp. I drive mine daily. Once tires warm up its not bad at all.. Though when they are ice cold car has a tendency to oversteer slightly if pushed hard.

 

[GQ4Life]

Im in Fishkill a hour north of NYc

I am over 4100 miles. Would be more but been snowing alot.

I am sorry but do not agree with you regarding driving with the OEM tires if the ambient temperature is less than the mid 30s. Yes you can warm the tires up, but if you are driving in stop and go traffic or around town you run the chance of having significantly reduced adhesion and stopping power. It is certainly not the risk to you or other drivers on the road.

Oh. Yeah guess if alot of traffic where ur at tires won't warm up. But I think these ice cold better then half the $99 skinny tires people buy.
I'm real curious now though.
I am going to do a 60-0 breaking test with cold tires then with warm to compare difference. Then do 60-0 test with GF civic & compare
Should be in 20's tomorrow morning. Let's see if I get a chance. Should be interesting & scientific

 

[TKDubya]

I picked up my C7 on October 4 and I have 4200 miles so far.

 

[Jride]

Thanks for the heads up...I'll be sure to avoid that area..I've already had that experience before I switched to AS's.
