Wow , you think it's going to be reliable with that many miles? I guess you will have to start using Mobil one high mileage oil. Well at least you enjoyed all that driveing. Enjoy the next million.

If it was a Ferrari, it'd be true. I honestly feel sorry for some of those guys. Beautiful cars they're scared shitless to put any miles on so they sit in the garage.

A big part of the appeal of the Corvette is that you get great styling, great performance, low maintenance cost and it's a blast to drive (which you can do worry-free).

Enjoy 'em.

You are correct. I am a heretic.

I test drove it in the rain, I drove it with the top down, on a gravel road the first day I owned it, and then in the snow a few days later.

Yikes! What is wrong with me?
