I took a photo just like that a few days ago. I thought maybe I was a little strange, but now I feel completely normal. Well, at least there are two of us.

May your next 10,000 be even more fun than the first.

I just turned 14,000 mi. last night after 45 1/2 months. It's only a garage queen from the time the first cinders/salt goes on the roads till spring and the roads get well washed off
hmmm ; another thousand miles and it's time to trade it in.

We bought our 13 GS convertible new 19 months ago. It now has 19,970 miles on the clock and it is not our daily driver. I love driving the car and look for any excuse to get it out.

Our C7 is about to hit 10,000 miles and we've had it's only been 9 months. I've enjoyed driving our cars versus having them collect dust in the garage.

I put over 4,000 on mine this summer in a week and a half on the Power Tour. Cleared the cobwebs off.

96 months now with 19,000 on my '07 Vert. When I bought it in 2010 it only had 1,600 miles on the odo. A true "Garage Queen" then, and close to one now. But it has been across country twice, and going again in Sept.

I put on 5,500 the first month and then slowed down a bit. It took nearly 3 more months to get to 10K.
