I really enjoy this car.

I agree the C6 is a great driving Corvette. You just put nearly the amount of mileage in one year that the previous owner drove it in 5 years.

I have my 2006 Convertible for 15 months yesterday and I have driven it for over 12,000 miles which is equivalent to what the previous owner of mine drove in 4 1/2 years.

So many Corvettes spend most of their lives in garages.

I also have 05, and just turned 80,000 miles, would be more, but with Covid, not to many places to drive.

Interesting. With Covid we have driven ours more than normal. No cruise nights, no car shows, more driving!! YMMV!

Mine is not a daily driver. I drive it as much as I can! Over the summer months, I leave it out of the garage so it pushes me to get in it n DRIVE!!! 18,xxx miles. 2007.
