Thanks. I was hoping to do video of it turning over but sensibility overcame me and I decided that a picture would have to suffice; I did miss the turnover because of traffic.

Congrats on driving your Vette to 100K. Time to start thinking about that first engine oil change and maybe even the often offered fuel system cleaning service.

Can't be to careful to insure reliability!

It would take some people I know 40 years to make that mileage.

I wish I had the opportunity to drive mine 10K or 15K miles each year...I would do so in a heartbeat.

would love to "consume via mileage" that 5-yr power train warranty !!

congrats to the OP for proving what most of us know--these cars can (and should, IMO) be driven...
