Hit Milestone 100K Today
My 2000 Corvette hit the big 100,000 mile mark today. Car still looks and runs great for having 100k. I get lots of comments from people who think the car is new.

WGreen you need to get out there and drive that car. These cars are made to be driven!! I know there are some out there who will only drive on sunny days, but life is short and you only get one shot at it. My feeling is I worked hard to get this car and I am going to enjoy it. If its gets scratched I will paint it, if it gets stolen or wrecked GM make Corvettes everyday so I would just got buy another one.
