Milestone!
Hit 6-figures on the drive home from work on Friday.
I bought the car almost exactly two years ago with 56k on it and couldn't be happier with it. It's been an excellent DD'er and just flat-out fun to drive.
Now comes my 100K maintenance. Replace all the fluids, putting a stereo in, shocks and.....tires. Going to be expensive, but worth it. I want this to last me another 100k.

Congrats! GM makes good vehicles. I have 5 total, My Z06 has 27K, my Dually has 111K, Tahoe has 150K, Grand Prix GTP has 198K and Fiero has 230K. If you take care of them like they recommend, they'll last forever. Good to hear I should get well over 100K on my Z.

Thanks, guys.
I've just been very impressed with it. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another one. In fact, I've toyed with the idea of buying a lower mileage one to have once I run this one through the ground (hopefully in another 100k or so). I wonder what the highest mile C5Z is? I know mine is nowhere near the top. I'd be interested to hear from some people that have really high mileage Z's though.

103K...Headers/cam/dual springs/intake/high volumne oil pump at 78K miles. Car still has original clutch and heads have never been off. Runs, looks, and drives like new. These cars are really well built and will last a long time if you take care of them.

Routine maintenance is good.....My Z71 has 186,0000, the Z06 not so much....
With your traction control and ABS lights on, you might have to change more than fluids....
