Last week he was telling us how he has a 'guy' that takes possession of the aforementioned 'Vette when my BIL goes out of town. Guy keeps it until BIL returns.

Even more weird is he never, other than that time last week, speaks of the car nor of any other car for that matter. Like totally not a car guy. I'm sure it even has the original tires since that is a 'Vette owner's thing.

I'll use this quote again as this just dawned on me...

The old reply when someone says; "nice car but it is expensive and gets crap MPG". Reply being, "well when you can afford that much for a car you can afford the gas".

Same applies here. If you can afford the cost of the GT or anything else in that price range, then you certainly can afford to drive it. Otherwise, what is the point of owning? Just to look at and say you have one? No thanks.

When I win the lottery and get something like this I will be driving it.

I've met a guy a few times through our vintage race club who probably has the highest mileage GT 04-06 in the country. He travels extensively with his and recently hit over 140k on it. Original owner.
