Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
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.
Im gonna go for 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.


Dave C..........My mantra: I can not be bought!!      Long and short term leases available.

Yeah, I know, Shut up Dave.
