Getting closer to 150K!
At our last autocross of the year my baby clicked over 135K miles!
If things keep going I'll click over 150K in about a year.
She's getting a Z06 exhaust, Z06 front sway, and '04 Z06 shocks for Christmas, so what should we do next year when we hit 150K?
Have a good one,
Mike

My how times and technology have change. 30 years ago one would be lucky if their car made it to 50K miles.

Fantastic. I bet when you tell other Vetters your mileage, their eyes bug out.
Do you still have the original water pump, alternator, etc??
If so, that's incredible.
I've got 368,000 on my IROC-Z which is my DD.
