.....the day that my car came home from the dealer!!! I can't believe its been 3 years already! 3 years, and 13k miles later, it still feels like the day I brought her home! 
I have to say that i've been pretty lucky in regards to quality issues. Only minor issues have been cause for visits to the dealership!

Truly, you could drool over the Zack-Mobile! I've seen it in person.
That is one sweet ride once you tricked it out and won a gazillion awards for your Vette. Congratulations on your "anniversary"

Wow, three years! That car look like brand NEW, accept even better with the modifications you've done. You really take pride in your vette, and you set a good example for people. You have fun in it, you show it, you race it. About all you and your car needs is ummmmm, a custom business card! 
lol
I hope the end of our season goes by quick, we all had way too much fun this past season. Oh wait, I forgot, we're not getting ANY snow this winter!

With me, it has been 3 years and 62000 miles. One blow out on runflats(they really do run flat), HRE Wheels, Cam, Pro Torque converter, high gears, 2 new set wheels, headers, ram jet air flow and on and on. It is still like new and runs even better than new.

You gotta love the 62k in 3 years! What kind of person lets their car just sit there?? 3 yrs and 13k you gotta be kidding me! 
I have 17k in about 8 months! I think I will try and convince Zack to get out and drive it a little more Seriously though, you have done a great job keeping it look better than new. I can only hope mine looks that good in 22 months. I will, however have a few more than 13k on it by then.

On your 3 years, Zack! I didn't quite make it that far with mine, but I think they rivaled each other for trouble-free miles. In the 2-1/2 years I leased mine, it was in the dealer 3 times: 2 oil changes, and 1 CL recall. I've never had a more trouble-free new car experience, and WILL be back in a Vette in a few years (maybe in time for the 2008 600HP version 
).At least it's still an LS1.....
