I have a 99 coupe. It is completely stock inside and out. Nothing has ever had to be repaired or repaced. HUD still works like a charm..oops, did repair the dual ac resistors for the display but did that myself & works like new. Other than the normal oil change, bulbs, & tune up, I put gas in it & enjoy the hell out of it. Glad to see there is one more in this world.

I've NEVER had a vehicle stay stock for more than a month after I bought it. I wish I could leave them stock but it's like a disease.
I started modding my Evo after 700 miles. So much for the warranty.
I had a new engine and aftermarket parts for the Z06 before I even bought it.

Have only had my car for a little over a year now, and only repair I've had to do was put in a new battery about a week ago. I've done a lot of visual enhancements to the car but no performance mods yet since it is still covered under a GMPP extended warranty.

My 2000 is a driver. Few mods, drive it daily in the summer and love every minute of it. Its my dream car (lets be honest its my affordable dream car) but I use it. Thats why I am not overly upset she's sitting on my driveway covered with an inch of snow. As soon as my garage gets cleaned she will get tucked away to hibernate though. These cars were meant to be driven and Im glad to see so many other owners out there that agree!

1990 - completely stock except the new stereo system last summer. Threatening a new Corsa exhaust. I am fairly handy and have replaced the battery, air pump, S-belt, and alternator and rebuilt the headlight motor bushings over the last year or so but I do take her to the "stealership" for work I am not comfortable with.
Only 23+k but a daily driver for me in the non-snow months in Ohio - and I avoid driving in the rain. I have people ask me why I drive her to work (fenced-secure lot) and tool around on the weekend. Hey, these cars were meant to be driven. Why the heck would I have the car I always wanted so it can sit in a garage?
