Default how many miles?

trying to see how many high mileage vettes there are.

I just hit 77K in my 98.
I am debating on whether to keep it and let it soak up the miles (since I am in the military and I will be driving it to each new duty station) or if I should trade it in on a lower mileage vette

WOW! I thought my vette was high 1999 48,000 miles. Have you had any major problems? Replaced Shocks? ( I'm not trying to steal the thread, i'm just curious?)

27,500 on my 04 which does not get driven to work. But I drive the sheet out of it once I am out of work. Kinda stinks though. The car will be less than 2 yrs old when the warranty runs out! I bought it to drive it, not look at!
