Re: '99 hits 250K miles (duosy)
Very impressive! Modern cars have great longevity if well maintained.
I do have to point out that you're overdue for a new load of Dexcool,
(5 years or 150K) and it wouldn't be a bad idea to change the diff and trans fluid.
Other than the maintenance items, what repairs have you had to make?
How's the interior, particularly the driver's seat holding up, and how
many mile do you plan to go before you retire the '99.

Re: '99 hits 250K miles (SWCDuke)
Other than replacing the plugs, shocks, tires and both belts - thats about it. The leather drivers seat is holding up pretty well - no problem with the leather. I did clean the leather about 2 years ago and it is about ready for cleaning next spring. The fog light bulbs & turn signal bulbs have been changed a couple of times. All other bulbs are original. Windshield wiper blades get changed about every 2 months as the windshield is pretty well sandblasted. Oil changes & filters were covered in my first post. Probably will keep this a long time as the body doesn't rust or get door dings.

Man! :eek: That's a lot of miles! How do you put that many miles on in 3 years. Do you drive the vette all year-round? Have you had any major mechanical issues or the usual TSB-type issues?
Congrats! :flag
