Bought my '99 a year ago with 73K on it and it now has 83K. DD'd a C4 for 4 years before that...

With all due respect to those who have very low mileage C5's -- I can understand keeping a beautiful show car in the garage for the rare weekend blast or display, but I would go nuts if I had to drive some appliance during the week! I guess in a way I'm lucky that my C5 is my only car.

If I had the bucks and a big garage I could see having some sort of garage queen Vette -- perhaps a Callaway Aerobody ZR-1



It would get some use -- but not 10K miles/year!

My 99 has 49K on it. I love to drive it too much to leave it parked.

02 Z06 bought it around 6 months ago with 8200 miles. I have only driven it probably a dozen times since then but my last drive was a 2600 mile trip. They are meant to be driven.
