Default New milestone!

I've been trying to wear this thing out, but it won't cooperate!

You do not let that car sit for extended periods - and that’s great. for hitting the 100K mark.

Not worth much. Will keep it for now. At least my wheels don't bend or wheels don't bend or crack. Seriously, I really like this car. Thought about trading it for a Z06 a while back, but I can use my son's once in a while.

Default High milage?

I have a 2017 ZO6. It has 22157 miles on it. People act surprised at the mileage, and some even seem upset! I didn't buy this car to watch it sit in the garage! I even drive it in rain, and it hasn't melted yet! Like they say about some things, "use it or lose it"! I enjoy it every day!

Amazing accomplishment. You really do drive your Corvette like few others and even more amazing is it’s all fun miles and not a work car. You have me trumped by 82,200 miles!

I still recall our dream cars where built the same day.
