About 2000 miles total on three cars, which is pretty much what I do every year.

Carl, you need a spare engine, so you can just swap out a bad one and put in a good one while you fix the bad one!

Only 45 miles to go for the 10,000 milestone, western77. Perhaps this weekend?

I mean, it appears you have roll-up windows and everything!

457.10 in 2014, 482.30 in 2015 so far... I hope to break 500 before the end of the year LOL

I was thinking more on the line of a "Spare Model A". My bank account (and wife) haven't quite signed off on that yet.

I can understand that, I spent ~$5,700 on a new engine (Carrier furnace) for my home & duct cleaning.... Odd thing was my hot water heat took a dive the next day... I fixed that myself for about $130..

I figured after 28 years the old Carrier I was not going to push my luck... 18 years without a single failure....

I have several cars and I tried to drive each of the about 500 miles. Wayne

I put just shy of 3000 miles on my car this year. Ran good after my winter refresh and the 5.5 head I added later. But the ol' guy was tired ( no shims left, valves loose in guides, it'd start to foul plugs ,by oil if idles to long) noisy valve train. So after many years of fun and dependable motoring Its getting a winter treat. Its at Schwalms for a nice rebuild. Spring is just around the corner!

John Duden · 12-05-2015, 11:23 AM

600 miles on a 28 AA

1crosscut · 12-05-2015, 11:22 PM

825 on my 29 AA.
John were going to have to get our trucks together sometime and race!
First one to 30 wins.

Zero, it was parked in 1983, maybe next year. Bob

w.michael · 12-05-2015, 11:39 PM

1,773 so far. I put 98 miles on the coupe today attending a Christmas tea at a country church with no heat and no electricity. MARC Region Christmas party is next weekend, and that should finish me off for the year.

ODFever · 12-06-2015, 08:38 PM

I put 1400 miles on mine since 1/3/15.

DJ S · 12-06-2015, 09:11 PM

I don't know the exact number but I can tell you it wasn't enough!

Henry's Lady's Man · 12-06-2015, 09:25 PM

We did 714 this year so far, our first year on the road with Bonnie.

stewwolfe · 12-06-2015, 09:36 PM

About 1,500 between the two of them.

I put 585 miles so far this year.

MBI Houston · 12-06-2015, 11:06 PM

Just under 5800 this year. The longest trip this year was 27 days from Houston to Maine and back via the Model A Museum in Hickory Corners Mi.

7_Zero · 12-07-2015, 01:15 AM

1,353 miles and I thought that was a lot, compared to others it looks like I am barely scratching the surface.

Some of you guys are pulling more miles than my whole club combined!
