Default 17k and counting

I bought my 07 Vette on Labor day of last year. It had 12k on the odometer. A true garage queen. I looked yesterday and its 17k. This car is not used to going so far in a yrs time. But I'm not letting up. This car is fun. It has exceeded my expectations in every way. Though a mere LS2, the thing just flat out flies. I've broken the rear wheels loose at 60mph when I passed a couple cars just before getting into the twisties of the Snake (421)
I haven't run the quarter or a road track yet. But hope to do so...especially a road track. Not sure what that entails since its a vert. Maybe a roll bar.
I don't plan on major mods but am looking forward to a custom tune and Vararram.
OK I just had to crow a little. Ya'll understand. Thanks for giving me the opportunity. Oh, and did I tell you how much fun riding topless is???

I don't even own one yet, but on my first test drive I spun up the rear wheels from 50mph to what felt like 70... what a blast.

Can't wait to own one

Got my 2011 GS with 1100 miles back in May 2012. Today I drove it to work and its at 7600 miles a little over a year later. Love it but wish I had the extra money to justify swapping out the base radio for a complete aftermarket entertainment system with nav and the whole nine yards. But I'd rather save for mods.

Yes, I'm loving my 06 convertible. I drive it every chance I get, especially with the top down. You can't beat it.
