Just over 10K on my Z06/Z16. As much as I enjoy driving the Z, most times it is just easier to crawl in the Dakota for around town trips.

A sad day is a day you don't drive your vette. Life is too short, drive your vette!

bigcypress- Prayers to you and your family. I lost my brother almost 7 years ago and still feel that pain.

I think I drove along with you on the north side of I-285 a couple months back. I have a red Zo6 with a license plate -N TRUBL

You've got a nice ride I have to say...

It's all relative, isn't it...

I was thrilled a few weeks back to pick up my '99 with "only" 73K on it. It's replacing a C4 with 120K (of which 35K were mine)...

Darned things seem to run forever, but it was time for the next generation.

If it wasn't snowing so damn hard and if they hadn't just impeached our governor, I might shed a tear for you.

By the way, I have 22,000 miles on my '98.
