Default mid life?

So after owning my 03 Z06 for over 3 1/2 years now I finally hit 50k miles on her, having bought her with 26k, and I have really enjoyed every single one them and looking forward to putting many many more

The car is just getting broken in - you should have many more miles left in it (provided you keep her maintained).

At first I didn't know if you meant that you had a mid life crisis and bought the car or if you thought the car was at mid life , but when I read the mileage No way is it the car. If you ever read the book " ALL CORVETTES ARE RED " you would know that these cars are exceptional after the grueling punishment that they put them through on the test tracks and the high miles that they put on them with that kind of punishment . At least 300k. is expected out of these cars under normal driving , even the spark plugs are expected to last for the first 100k. miles and many have reported that they have. Relax and enjoy that wonderful car !
