    40,000 miles in a red 'Vette.

    (as Gryphon says, "All Corvettes are red. Anything else is a mistake.")

    https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a38134118/2021-chevrolet-corvette-z51-reliability-maintenance/

    Best line (talking about winter driving in Michigan)...

    "The winter months turned those looks of joy to ones of disbelief as the Red Mist livery transitioned to a frozen slurry of road grime with a nose full of Michigan's finest uncut blue road salt. As the roads turned to skating rinks, the Corvette cut through the ice like Scott Hamilton, with help from a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Alpin PA4 winter rubber. When the white stuff piled deep, the front splitter pushed more snow than El Chapo."

    "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      By the way, I had occasion to drive a C-7 about 7 years ago.

      Nice car, and unlike some "supercars," it wasn't difficult to drive or control. Other than the sound, it felt like any very nice car.

      I know, it's not red...

        (The story is the mechanic from the repair took the customers Corvette on a street race. Some what seem to be a look of negotiation, the dealer gave the guy a new car. LOL)

            I’d like to point out that the Vette tried to and couldn’t catch a Dodge Charger, a sedan…
