Well, seeing how I barely drive the other cars, I can't see myself putting too many miles on the Cobra. The Cobra gets stored from October through May so it's only driven 4-5 months a year. The other cars are driven year round.

Mystichrome coupe (current car)
5/18 - 14,593
11/18 - 15,293
About 100 miles a month

Mystichrome convertible (sold)
10/15 - 2,777
3/18 - 4,904
About 73 miles a month

2015 Lexus (my car)
7/17 - 58, 108
11/18 - 62, 271
about 4,000 miles in a year

2013 Lexus (wife's car)
2/16 - 23,088
11/18 - 28, 723
About 2,500 miles a year

Pathfinder (the hauler)
2006 - 0
11/18 - 61,099
About 5,000 miles a year

i would like to put around 1,500 miles on it a year. I usually park mine for about 2-3 months and then ill pull it out and drive it for about 3 weeks and park it back. I would love to drive it more, I just work and also have a Lightning

I just hit 36k, i enjoy modding it, i enjoy driving it (summers), i enjoy showing it at carshows and on occasions racing it. Isn't that what these beast where designed to do?
Where's the sense in dropping all these high dollar mods if you aren't going to enjoy them?

Every year I tell myself I need to log more miles in the cobra. And I rarely hit 1k miles.

I take the car out plenty, but only drive it for 30 minutes to an hour each time.

I had more down time this fall doing a clutch job. But managed to get 160 city miles before I put it away for the winter.

More miles have been put on my car driving it to work than anything else. It's not idea for picking up kids in. I wish I could drive it more.

i felt worried at 200k. but than 300k came. and than 400k.
i haven’t driven it much this year, and worry now about replacement parts

I'm at 200k and every time I think about selling to get a 13/14 GT500 as my next daily beater I hold on because I'm curious how long it can go for, lol.

Keep it nice, but don't be afraid to enjoy it. Most folks that own a Terminator at this point aren't by-chance owners who are going to jump ship for the latest and greatest, they have it because they want it. But even if you plan on sitting on this car for a while, I think nobody on their deathbed has ever said... man, I wish I drove that car less. Nope... I want to smile about the good times I have had.

cobra owner since 2003. I had my share of fun with the car. 03 -06 was the prime with my car. Now I just lost interest in it. was always a soft number car. Always had little gremlins when I would mod it. plus I work 60-70 hrs a week here in new york so I come home and go to bed at 8pm most nights. physically and mentally drained to the point that I can't even speak properly at times. cars boring as well lol. I never drive it anymore.

I really want a coyote. I am just not in that state of mind to start from scratch and blow away money and destroy a new car. Maybe Im getting oldddddd
