Pulling in 6 Figures!

It is now official, my 2012 CE Vette made it to 6 figures.

I'm sure my blue book value took a giant drop going that last mile, but I'm having fun driving it and don't really care too much. I've put over 11k on it in about 5 month since I bought it back in May. With a little luck it will last 200k without any major issues.

Not good to drive these cars. Should only sit in climate controlled garage and be rubbed on.

Don't forget swapping out tail lights and floor mats and panting accents while it sits in the climate controlled garage!

while I do understand why people choose to minimize their mileage, my problem is trying to not drive it too much.
I'm at about 20k miles a year, and that's mainly just weekend driving. second owner ( 98k - jan / 2019 when I got it ),
currently at 155k miles, I don't even mind that the front end is a bit sand blasted. I don't want a garage queen!

That's a very exclusive club, limited membership, but we I'm always looking for someone to help keep me company in my clubhouse.

It's lonely in here.

Congrats on 100K. I remember when 99,999.9 rolled over to zero, and you had to start all over again!

I think I have a pic of mine "rolling over" the century mark. 146K currently. No hint of slowing down.

There will be plenty of garage queens available when you wear this one out.
