30K miles - 2011 SS - Update
I thought I would just say that I turned 30K miles today. I got the car new in September 2010 and I have driven it every day since.
The car has been to the dealer twice. Both times were for the drivers side window regulator... and that was very early on. I suspect a bad batch of window motors. Other than that, it has been absolutely care free. I have never reset the Average Gas Mileage display and it sits on 16.9 MPG... 80% is around town back and forth to work driving. It's been to Nashvile three times, C5Fest in Indy the first time and 3-4 trips of 2-3hr one way. The car is NOT garaged and the paint is all nice. With exception of my deer hit and new ZL-1 front bumper, there has never been any damage and there is not a ding or dent in it. I have changed the oil I think 4 times, and I paid $650 for a very slightly used set of OEM tires from a member here at around 21K miles. Motor-on fellow C5'ers

Y'all really don't drive your cars that much, do you?

You've owned your car 3 years and 6 months and you've changed oil only 4 times?

4 x 7500 = 30,000 I'm pretty sure I changed it at 3000 the first time and then just followed the idiot meter

Good info..either way it hasn't exceeded 10 months or the meter...but I get your point.
I'll probably change a bit more often from here on.
