Came acorss this article about a 50 year Corvette owner and his 500K mile car.

I love driving mine, but I don't think I'll live long enough to put on that many miles!

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Good story.

With my average of 878 miles per year, it would only take me 577 years to do that.

Was that the one at Carlisle that was up on the stage with over 500k miles on it?

Dan, I thought so as well. How many mid-years are there with 507,000 miles on them? That would be one heck of a coincidence.
