LOL.............and that is in miles too. Well I am afraid I will NEVER hit that right now I have 42K km or 24 000 miles on my '03 and unless I rent it out will never see that number. So congrats on hitting the milestone and in truth I am envious, Greetings, Rob

I have 94k on mine, but I hardly drive it. Almost all of these miles were on it when I bought it.

Congrats.

Congrats on the 100,000 miles. My 2003 has 91,000. They are a blast to drive and that is what I do. I like seeing others that have about as many miles as I do on their Corvette.
