Default highest miles
I see people brag how few miles their vettes have, i'm more impressed by the ones who have alot of miles on theirs and the icon keeps on ticking. i only have 82k on mine but i'll get there. How many miles do you have?

232,562 on my 87, have been driving it everyday for 20 years. I keep it in good repair. Original engine doesn't use oil, had to have it painted several years ago, looks good.

That's what a good car and good maintenance will do for you.

If you look close enough, you can actually see a serpentine belt that serves as the drawstring for the drapes!!

You forgot the Harley back behind the Vette.

Oh, and just went past 101,000 on my LT4
Damn, when I bought this car in 2005 it only had 35,000 on it.
So much for keeping the miles down on it.
