WOW!
You are lucky to be able to enjoy your car that much. At 80 mph your commute goes by pretty quick.
My 08 GMC Diesel Crew cab is 2 1/2 years old and I just hit 22,000 miles. My wifes 2000 Volvo S80 just hit 40,000 miles.
I have not found the right Vette yet but I figure 3,000 miles would be a big year for me in Massachusetts. I woke up to 2+ inches of snow at my house this morning, I would not be a Vette day.

Default Nice work!

You don't happen to work at KSC do you? 51 Miles from Orlando seems about right. I just turned 93K on my 2000 Mag Red coupe and the commute from my home in W. Melbourne is around the same mileage.

Love seeing all the Vette's out here at KSC!
