guilty as charged - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I drive mine whenever I can. Currently over 101,000 miles. Took it out yesterday to meet up with club members for the Fourth of July. We had thirteen cars and I was one of two C4's but the only ZR-1. We parked our cars as part of a car show display prior to the fireworks and several people walked up to the car and began pointing to the ZR-1 badge and began smiling. You can always pick out the ones that are truly knowledgeable.

i go out to a show each friday night here in dayton (across from the greene shopping center) to show the Z.. i always park next to my buddy's 06 Viper..

anyways, the first question out of other Vette owners' mouths is always "how many miles do you have on her?"

geof: umm, close to 75K

them: *picking themselves up off the pavement* how can you do that to a car like this?

geof: it's easy, i love to drive it

them: but it's so clean

geof: yeah, i take care of my cars... i really enjoy owning it.. i think everyone should see a ZR-1 in person - and besides, it's just so much fun to drive

them: well, i have an 04 (for example) with 1000 miles on it.. i just enjoy looking at it and taking it to cruise-ins... you are supposed to do that with a car like this

geof: *thinking to himself* poor car... hmm, 1 of 30000 made, huh?

so guys and gals, i am sorry...i do drive it.. wait - hell no i'm not sorry... i love driving this thing!!

Must of missed you, was there about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Then heard about one there the next week but didn't make it.

Took the Z out this past weekend for a drive up the coast with the wife. It was an absolutely beautiful day... 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. A 2 hour drive along the Pacific and I was a new man... bye bye stress (the only bad part was we got burnt to a crisp and had to put the top on and drive back on the frwy...

).

Unfortunely, Monday came and the stress was back!

Oh well, I'll just have to take another drive this weekend to unwind.
