Ok, this is kind of making me a little nuts. I love my C5. The C4 was all fine and good, but I have no regrets in selling the 1989 and getting the 2004. It had 29,000 miles when I bought it back in April. I have put roughly 600 miles a month on it since I bought it. I'm sitting at 30,200 right now.
I'm going kind of crazy because I LOVE to drive this car. Yet at the same time, I hate putting many miles on it and already feel like I've put too many on. I go into the garage and stare at it with that entranced smile on my face....you know the one. War Pony looks back and he says "drive me", but part of me feels guilty if I do. And I won't drive it if it even looks like it's going to rain!
What is this madness? I didn't go through this with my C4, my 1985 Celica Supra or my 1979 Trans Am! I drove the crap out of those cars. But for some reason, this C5 has me acting all goofy. My friends are always asking, "Drive the 'vette today?" I get all sheepish, look down at the ground and kind of kick the dirt and say, "Oh, no."
So, what is the right balance of keeping miles down, but keeping your car in shape by driving it? Is 600 too high, too low, or just about right? This is crazy behavior! ;help
