Cant stop driving
It's been 3 months since I purchased my first ever corvette(Silver 2005 Z51 auto, nav, satellite radio, preferred equip. group etc. Upgrades so far: Chrome C6 exhaust Billet, Lloyd floor mats,, Chrome bumper letter set, GM Sill Protector, Front Bumper Grill Screen, Custom painted calipers(hi gloss black with silver corvette lettering), Corsa Sport Exhaust. I just love driving this car!!! Only 2 negatives: 1. tires tread starting to look worn already(no burnouts or wheel spinning either) 2. 4200 miles....hard to stop driving it!!!!

Have 4275 on mine but the non z51 tires look like they were put on yesterday. Almost ordered z51 but figured I didn't need it. If you only get 8k on them and the base tires get 25k those folks sticking with them will be on their 3rd replcement set when others will be on their first.

Tell me about it. 
Bought mine as a "second mid-life crisis" / weekend fun car. My first mid-life crisis was a H2 Hummer, which I kept and intended as my daily driver. Now, after getting my C6 (Met. Mag. Red, Vert, Red Interior, Z-51 w/ Corsa Exhuast), my H2 just sits there.
These cars ROCK.

My new first ever Vette is intended to by my weekend cruiser. My wife however keeps driving the damn thing. It's her second vette, the first being a 93 ZR-1. I should have known I would be buying it for her
