My Precision Red Z51 coupe is an early `05 - September 2004 in-service date-- just hit 21,000 miles - - better than new at this point and will stay with us until the C7 hits the market.

Can only use the car about six months of the year. It is not a DD, merely a "fun" car.
Five thosand per summer is about all she gets driven. Long winters, short summers!

Seriously though, what on earth are you doing? Is the C6 just garage decoration, or some sort of art? Are you preserving it for Barret Jackson 2084? Do you just have money to waste away as you let your car depreciate (and probably rot its seals out and make it undriveable)?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just curious what your motive is behind having SO FEW miles on a C6!!!

Put almost 85K on the C5 and it was bulletproof.
Have only 3.5K on the C6, but it's only a few months old.
Use it or save it for the next owner. Your choice.

Daily Driver...any excuse
Whoever purchases my car in the future will get a high mileage dream. My theory is that you should drive your Corvette until either (1) you sell it, (2) you wreck it, (3) you have it stolen from you (4) it blows up or (5) you are disabled such that you can't get out of bed. I mean...what's the point? DRIVE...DRIVE...DRIVE!!! What a car! What a country!

lol i dont think Barrett Jackson is in the cards for a "run of the mill C6", i know your not being a jerk and im not either i have 5 other cars including a 04 C5Z that i drive some (13k on it), i am in the car business and a car is provided to me (demo) with free gas (not a bad perk) and yes i guess i can afford to make it an ornament altho you dont see it becuase its covered.
My dad had a old silverado like that when I was young, loved it. they are sharp old trucks.

The poll needed to show age of Vette to mean anything.
2008- 3 months old- 3,000 miles
1999- 8 years old- 50,000 miles
1972-you figure it out- 217,000 miles
I also had a 2001 that had 34,000 miles by the time it was just over 1 year old. But on the other hand I also had a 1978 Pace Car that was 24years old with 161 miles when I bought it.
