My 95' had 78K when I purchased it from a fellow C4 forum member, two years ago and I'm at almost 91K. Here in the High Desert of North Los Angeles County, we have brutal summers (112 degrees plus), with high winds in the afternoon and freezing winters (19 degrees or less in the morning. So I save it for the 'nice days' and it still looks new!

Got the 94 about 2 1/2 yrs ago with 29,020 miles on her....right at 41K now so around 6K/yr which is just the mileage my insurance through the NCM allows

Bought my 84 in '97 with 55K on it. Been driving it daily all summer until the salt hits the roads. Now has 160K on it and still running strong and driven daily along with autocrossing and general hard driving. I do get a lot of strange looks on rainy days but oh well.

So thats 105K I have put on it for those of you too lazy to do the math

- glad to see that there are guys out there that are using their corvettes as intended. if the corvette gods had intended for these things to sit in the garage, they would have put square wheels on them! drive it 'til the wheels fall off, and then put some new wheels on it. life's too short, and the world only needs so many museum pieces!

They're only good for one thing. Having a Corvette you don't drive is like having a hot wife you don't bang.
