I had to work hard and long for this car. It's been 21 years between my first and current vette. I like to keep it covered in the garage and if I get depressed or feel bad about something in life, I go to the garage, uncover my vette and just stare for several minutes. It works like a charge of happiness to my heart. If I feel like driving it then I drive it, if it's dusty I clean it (I don't let it get dirty). If I find a new mod I like, I'll mod it. It's mine by da-- and I'll do what I ------- want with it. Just like the rest of y'all. Happy trails as Roy Rogers said!

People buy these cars, then just let them sit in their garage ? Why bother even buying to begin with, if you are not going to actually enjoy it...my c5 has over 160,000 miles on it, and i thoroughly enjoy beating the **** out of it on a regular basis, isn't this why chevy made these cars with 345-over 400 h.p. ? seriously, whats with the 2000 model C5's etc. with only 10-15k miles on them, lol never did get that.. 
I've got 182,000 miles on my C4 (1996) ....still drives great.

WOOOIE!! Lots of touchy people on both sides here!! I must admit I subscribe to the "I waited a LOOONG time to get one,,,and I get out and drive it a LOT" philosophy !! O do keep her pretty clean and shiny,,and I do pretty much all my own work on it. Ive done everything from car displays,road trips to test and tune night at the strip!! That's how I enjoy it !! BUT,,,,I was a young up when the the line "different strokes for different folks" was new!! and that has proven to be a very appropriate adage to follow!! I do not completely understand the garage queen ideology,,but i understand that there are folks enjoy having a prized possessions. Examples,,the art world and antiques. They will invest fortunes just to HAVE a valuable piece or painting and it just sits there or hangs there. I guess some enjoy just having a Corvette!! There is room for all in the Corvette world,,and NO ONE needs to get their feelings hurt OR get their hackles up!! ENJOY IT YOUR WAY!! hey,,that might make a good burger commercial
