I've got 58k on my 2010 and thought that I was pushing it. Congratulations on enjoying and using your Vette.

I live 62 miles away from work...so a total of 124 miles a day I put on the vette. I don't regret it at all. The only maintenance expense I've had was oil change and tires. All normal maintenance. The funny thing is that originally I bought the car just to have it for the weekend. I'm glad it didn't work that way. Otherwise I would've lost two years of full enjoyment.

Totally true. Vettes weren't designed to be garage jewelry. We drove ours out to Yellowstone and then down to California coming back to western NYS via Rt. 66. Plus other trips to Chicago, Gettysburg, and, of course, Bowling Green. A great way to travel.

This May will be two years for me and my C6 too.

I've only put 10k miles on mine so far (23k to about 33k).

Best of luck with yours! Sound like you got a good one and are enjoying it.

Congrats! That's exactly how my 08 Vette was. I had the least amount of problems the more I drove it. Daily drove it for 2 years and only changed waterpump/radiator.
