I messaged Rain Albertson on Facebook and he said his father is retired and just loves to go on long road trips all the time, he's always driving somewhere! :


He sold it to get into a C8. I bet he's already got 100k on it

Thanks for the follow up! That honestly sounds like a sweet way to spend retirement.

I can't imagine there are a ton of Vettes out there with +500k on the odometer given how it is frequently ranked at or near the top of mass produced vehicles that get driven the least. I bet that guy has a ton of cool stories he could share.

Goes to show that these things don't have expiration dates like a carton of milk. In the other recent thread when someone said more than 3k/yr was high mileage for a Vette I was genuinely surprised.
Have no doubt about their durability here whatsoever. 👍 I think that the C7 with Tremec Manual 7-speed transmission is the bomb! Just overjoyed to own one! Love that 2014!

If I live long enough I hope to have 500k on my C7 someday! I'm only 51 so it's entirely possible
