Hit 100K today!

Well, after owning my 2003 since Sept. 2008 and just under 22k miles, I finally hit the 100k mile mark on my way home today!

It has been awesome, and I would not change a thing!

Careful, the wheels are going to fall off!! That's what my Dad always said back when we were kids!

Congrats on the milestone!

Just the regular things that are common...

Window regulators, headlight gears, SWPS (x2), EBCM resoldier, climate control resoldier, oil pressure switch, passenger side check valve, one front bearing hub, shocks (replaced with Bilstein Sports instead of F55), water pump, thermostat, ignition switch, starter (replaced it before I knew it was the ignition switch), both belts, coolant tank, ... that is all I can think of off the top of my head.

Congrats, just hit 50,000 on my vette. First time I saw a digital read on a mileage milestone. Good feeling. Here's to you and yours and another 100,000 trouble free.

Congrats on the milestone! May you have hundreds of thousands more in the years to come!! Lol...I just turned over 98K this past week, I've owned the car one year and thus far the car has been more than good to me.
