2005 Victory Red Coupe loaded Z-51 bought with 1,250 miles
.it has 48,300 on it now. Most of the miles are highway miles and I am taking it to Oregon in August.

Bought my 08 base A6 with 67k on the clock last June. The DIC stays on some other display like oil temp, as I don't worry about miles. Probably around 68 or 69k now? Lol. While I don't daily drive it and it is a fair weather toy for me, I can't afford a one car museum, so I drive it whenever time off and good weather combine!

Mine has about 89k miles on it. 2006. Bought it essentially stock at 67k and drove it a lot more when it was stock. Since the cam and spray... Its so much more fun I can't keep my foot out of it, and therefore can't afford to keep the tank full!

Bought new my daily driver 2008 c6 m6 z51 now has 104k miles.
I love this car. I bought it new from Kerbeck and it's been utterly reliable and a pleasure to own...
At around 50k miles just for the hell of it...I did bilstein shocks for the z51 , I did rotors and pads which I really didn't need yet, I did spark plugs and wires which I recommend. I did the radiator and water pump about three years ago as I had a crack in the upper part of the radiator...which wasn't a big deal.
I change the battery with a new 42 month delco from the GM dealer probably every 27 months...I think I changed the belts when the radiator cracked ...
And I changed the rear differential fluid at 100k mikes because I believe it was in the maintance schedule...
I did change the plugs and spark plugs again at 100k miles as per my feeling the plugs and wires should be changed every 50k miles..
I think I did a decade at the dealer once or twice just for the hell of it...
As far as mods? I have a MGw short throw shifter, the m2w switch , an air intake, a cow booster and a tune by corvettes of weschester for the fun of it..
Oh and I had the 40 dollar seat repair so the foam cushions don't sink into the seat springs and I highly recommend that mod... the stock seat foam sink into the springs and cut the foam..the forty dollar seat mod from southern corvettes was a very good eat mod...I shoved in some extra foam in the bolsters at the same time...
I usually buy new wheels and tires every 20k miles from Craigslist or this forum as they are mounted and balanced. My most recent set is c7 Oem black 19/20 inch z51 rims and I slapped on a set of non runflat michelins to give my c6 a more contemporary look of larger diameter tires.
I have a second set of gray Oem wheels and snow tires that go on in nov and come off in April...I also bought those with sensors and mounted off this forums members for sale section..
This car looks brand new...drives even better than new so I am having a hard time even thinking of selling it...it's been that good a vehicle for the last 104k miles...

I must say this is a first; you buy new rims every 20K?
