It had 29290 on the odometer when I bought it 6 weeks ago.
Trust me....I intend to rack up some miles.
It is the thought of not driving it I find abhorrent.

Be careful taking pics while driving. 
Hope you have many more trouble free miles with the car. Someday maybe there will be another zero behind that number.

Funny, my 97 just turned 60,000 yesterday. Plenty of good miles left in them both.

Funny, I kicked over 30k a few weeks ago too. Folks always presume when one of these has low miles that you are the original purchaser and haven't been driving it all these years, rather than what I think is far more common which is buying one from the former to drive. In retrospect, I've spent more money fixing a few things on this 30k mile car than a few cars I bought that had 120-140k miles on them...so mileage ain't everything for sure. Some of us are low annual mileage drivers too for the record, I drive maybe 4-5k miles a year - split that between 2 cars and it takes a long time to rack up miles.

I have a 120 mile RT commute everyday. I use my other car for that.
Here is a question.....
The car shows build date as 9/97. Is there a way to get an exact build date (the day of the month too)?
It's 20th birthday is next month and I sure would like to know the exact day. Is this something Chevrolet could tell me?

EDIT: Or I can't read the cut off date very easily, looks like 4/17/03 in my case.
