I do -- but have two other cars that need to be driven also. The GS gets the nod most of the time. Plus being retired... Most of the trips are to the golf course.

I have an 05 with 18k miles. I have other cars and motorcycles to drive/ride so none of them other than my work car gets many miles.

If I keep the vette, in another 10 years I will be up to 36 or 40k. Still good for another 10 years after that easy.

lol. yall are ridiculous. My 07 had 38k when I bought it... a week later... I was at 39k. I have no doubt that i'll be north of 100k miles before too awful long. Understandable not to drive the car if its some super rare vehicle made of un-obtainium... but a Corvette is not that vehicle.

Yeah, I bought mine with 29k, now about 34k 3 months later. I didn't want no garage queen.

Used to be like that myself but finally go over it. The car is too much fun NOT to drive it. Bought my 11GS in Jan 14 with 13.2k on it. 27 months later I have 45k. Over 1k a month average. Much more fun than looking at it.

I have a lot to choose from. For some people the Corvette isn't the first choice.
