New 93 Corvette
Well i bought it new and when i jumped in it today it ran like new. Still smell the leather the rumble as you let of the exhaust. I didnt want to get out but at 15000 miles i didnt want to over due it I still have my 77 vette so that is somewhat of a fill in for the remaining summer. One regret should have bought that ZR1 to. Love those clam shell hoods. Save the wave!

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you selling your 93? For a 15 year old car 15,000 miles is hardly "over doing" it. Assuming you paid around $35K for it when new you've probably already lost at least 2/3 of that and haven't really driven it that much. Time to stop and smell the roses.

One way to look at 15000 miles
Since there are so many low miles on it... You can drive it for another 10 years and have very few problems if none at all... and not have to worry about buying a new one.

Another way too look at it... Dodge has considered phasing out the Viper due to high gasoline prices.. If gas prices continue to stay high... GM may consider phasing out the Corvette... and since your Vette has low miles... it should end up being worth alot more to a collector. That is, if it ends up being a collectible car in the future.

Enjoy it for what it is..one of the best sportscars ever created! Get out there and drive it....it can't be appreciated if it isn't seen.
