I'm sure this is not the highest but here it is anyhow.





I just bought this car Friday 10-17-06 previous owner sure did alot of driving. He used the car year round even in the snow (northern NJ) He said in the last few years he only missed a couple days of work because the snow was to deep. If the forecasted snow he would go in early and leave early.

Now that's a daily driver. Congrats on the car - I'm guessing that it is still in good running order.

This car belongs to a friend of a friend. This pic was taken in April 2006. The car has well over 275,000 miles on it now. It is a black 1998 coupe. The owner bought it new and uses it in his business.

This car has a few bumps and bruises but overall not bad for 232,000 miles



It has sat now for a three weeks thus the rust on the rotors.

'04 CTSV has 5,600 miles its a bonified garage queen. The only reason it has that many miles is I took it on two trips over 1,000 miles each.

99 coupe with just shy of 45,000 miles on it. I bought it about 18 months ago with 34K on it. Before anyone says I need to drive it more, consider that I work from home AND have a DD, too.

That's a reversal of roles around here. Usually the Vette is the garage queen and some other vehicle is the daily driver.

The Vette looks great for her age and mileage!

Great condition for 232K miles. Corvettes are meant to be driven! I've got 60K on my 02 coupe, and hope to well exceed the 165K I previously put on my 93. Have you hi milage guys rebuilt the engines? Any substatial work? What did you find insofar as major wear and tear items, so the rest of us know what to expect and can plan for it? Thanks. Jim
