I constantly get people thinking it's a new car (non "car people" that don't know about the C6 that is) and I love their reaction when I tell them it's a 98! Their eyes usually pop out of their heads. Then when I tell them it's got 105,000 miles on it I get another amazed reaction. (and then I get a third jaw drop when I tell them I drive it in the winter too!)
I honestly think it's a better feeling when people ask what year my car is and I tell them it's a 98 than it would be if I had a new one and they asked me that same question. With a brand new car people expect it to look perfect, but they don't usually expect an 11 year old car to look like this.
Me to I got 115,000 miles and it still looks brand new and the engine is clean as a whistle and runs and sounds as good as it looks.
