Re: MILEAGE ON YOUR BIRD 2013
Phil is right, a poll like this, done every couple years will reveal a lot. Maybe mileage is like age always going up......just came from a beach car show..saw an 03 white, new owner 26k, paid 19k..he may join us..I keep trying! Had my exhaust tips moved out 2.5"..looks much better! thanks John for posting this! I'm sure there will always be 'garage queens' but not me..whom am I saving Black Beauty for? My thoughts, excluding the queens is..as time goes by, our ages will increase with the mileage. And Phil, I too wonder about polls and the number of votes...where is everyone?Originally posted by LA PHIL View Post

Re: MILEAGE ON YOUR BIRD 2013
That high a percentage of 20K cars?....how much fun have you missed if you've had that car for 10 years and you only have 20 K on it?

Re: MILEAGE ON YOUR BIRD 2013
Some members have multiple Retrobirds ... one to drive and one or more to keep the mileage down on.Originally posted by TBirdNoob View PostComment

Re: MILEAGE ON YOUR BIRD 2013
bought mine in Oct 2010 with 75k and after almost 3 years have only put 12k miles on a daily driver. Unfortunately not too many road trips yet but working on that. When I bought it I didn't know I was going to become the caretaker of my husband's 90 year old mother, makes it hard to travel as much as I'd like.Comment

Re: MILEAGE ON YOUR BIRD 2013
I would vote twice, but can't - both Goldilocks and Moondoggie are still in the 10K+ category with 17K on Goldi, and 18K on MD.sigpic

Time get a new one, Chuck! In your case I'd be more worried about the paint getting thin from rubbing than anything else.Originally posted by Chuck View Post

Re: MILEAGE ON YOUR BIRD 2013
77,000 when I bought her in April 2012, 83,000 now. Daily driver during the summer, haven't gone on any big trips, but - oh, those late afternoon 'where the heck does this road go?' meanderings!!BirdsterComment

Re: MILEAGE ON YOUR BIRD 2013
Ron, for the next poll that will take place in 2014, just doing the total of all your Tbirds mileage to fix that issue. In that case, it would have been 120,000 for the poll.Originally posted by 4LOWBIRDS+2 View Post

Re: MILEAGE ON YOUR BIRD 2013
