Default Hit a milestone yesterday.....

Now I cant take credit for really any of these as I have only put a few miles on it, but still cool as it is still killer to drive a Vette with all of these miles.

The check engine light stays on when you just turn the key to the ON position and don't start the car.

Thanks for all the comments, she got a major makeover this spring and looks pretty good. I have an LS3 in the garage ready to get torn down for a heartbeat transplant over the fall.
