I'm too old to worry about saving the miles for the next owner.

C6 of Year Finalist (performance mods) 2019

I took delivery of my new C6 in Detroit and had 5,500 miles on it by the time I got home in Phoenix 30 days later. The used '19 I just bought a couple weeks ago has 3,900 miles now, but I'm pretty sure it'll be over 10K before Christmas. I bought it to drive and that's what I intend to do. My garage ornaments hang on the walls.

Hey to each his own! But by my calculation, in 360 months, you will hit 20,000 miles!

I find it difficult to understand buying a toy and then not using it.

A low mileage "Garage Queen" Corvette is the best thing for the second owner. I did the same with a 2006. At 4 years old it had only 6K miles on the odo. It helped the 2nd owner more than it did me. I promised myself that would never happen again, and that I would enjoy my Corvette's. We're on a nice little 2K miles road trip in our GS right now, and are having a ball. Now that's just my story. It's your car, and you should enjoy it any way it makes you happy.

500 mile mile stone

I bought my new 2019 GS in mid may of 2019 and with this covid thing there's not may places in Brooklyn I drive to but when Im not hand washing/waxing/detailing her I'm tooling around on the streets of Brooklyn. Just went over 500 miles late last month. Don't forget to get your 500 mile oil change.
