Got mine in April as well and is driven daily till next week. I am about to roll 13k. If all goes well, then she will be put away for the winter and resurface again in late Feb when I have some more money to add stuff to her.

20 miles to work one way each day. Spend a small fortune on gas but all work and no play makes pooh a sad boy

2000 L (the fast color)
After being struck by Lightnin' life just ain't the same

 

Daily driver, except for the past two days. I rebuilt the carb on my Boss and been thundering around in it yesterday and today. Kind of funny....gas mileage...my 429 gets about 10 mpg running on $3.60/gallon 110 octane red! The Lightning in comparison sips fuel, the cheap (sarc) 93 octane stuff!

 

Daily driver is a 91 Nissan Pickup. My 99 L has 5,300 miles on it. I did however, drive it to work today.

Rain sleet snow or slush...the L is my daily driver...and a pretty good one for wacking away at that 25 mi rush hr commute. Cept for the gas....oh and the stock radio sux...but its good enough to listen to howard in the morn.

I used to drive mine everwhere until I got my work truck, but now she just sit's and waits to go out at nite and the weekends. 26000 miles on her now. I do agree that you should drive what you love but, not to a demolition job site, I just get to worried some idiot's going to hurt her. A guy by my me only drives his on sunday's and he has about 3,000 miles on his 99. I couldn't do that, the urge is to much. I can't wait to get home just to drive my truck (not now with the white ***** all over the streets).

Mine is a daily driver. It has almost 12,000 miles on it since I picked it up in March 2000. It is just too easy to drive fast or otherwise. I think I figured out what one of the contributing factors to my low mileage is .... 80 mph hiway speed. And yes, the only thing my L can't pass is a gas station.

 

Picked up End of Feb 2000. Daily driver 12 mile commute. 13500 miles now. I wonder how many miles the front suspension has on it ?? 12000 ??

I probobly put more miles on going to the track than to work. Dont have enough space to have multiple vehicles. Some day I may get the Go_Rila garage upgrade.... One at each end of the house..

Hey Retic

Sorry to get off subject..but, I used to keep/breed snakes for years. A couple of years ago I sold my whole collection to a wholesaler -It was too hard to get chicks to come over with a housefull of reptiles -and the ones that liked them -were too creepy for me! I never had the room too keep snakes as large as Retic's -plus I've seen what they can do....ever been bit? I got nailed by a 5' Caiman -and that was humbling enough for me realize I was not as in control as I thought. Great hobby but I stick to Tarantula's....and muscle cars these days.

 

Mine started out as a dailey driver for the first 5000 miles in 5 months. Then I started going to the drag strip (just to see what she would do.) Yeah. Right!!!.
(Question-Why do we call our Lightnings SHEs?-Sorry that's a thread already done.).
First, just once a week, (then more mods).
Then twice a week (then more mods) and wining a trophy.
Them 3 times a week (Test and tune.)
Has anyone fell into the same wonderful trap that I have???
Now I have 13,000-figured @ 80 miles round trip per night. X 3 nights a week-Shoot!!
(Now I know where all the miles came from!!!)
A 1/4 at a time!!!

Picked it up at the dealer with 5 miles on the odometer in June. It's rolling around 12,000 now. Those trips between Georgia and Texas add up after a while.

I bought mine in May and thought I was really racking up the miles at 7,400. I have a daily driver - just too hard to put the L away.

I have a 2001 L on order (placed 11/20) and it will be my daily driver. Except on sunny days, because that's what the 2000 GT Convertible is for. I live in Seattle and there are very few sunny days here. :-)
