We've put MORE miles on our 04 Vert in the past year than the previous owners did in the past 10 years... it was a LOW mile car when we bought it and we are driving it... Won a class award at the local corvette club show out of about 20 C5's, this was just after a brutal, drive to Texas in the rain and back... took over 100 hrs of detailing, but she was back to show shine...
