2004 Z06 CE - Purchased from the original owner with 5,900 miles currently just over 7,000 miles. Stock except for a Blackwing.

2001 vert - Purchased new for the wife in March of '01. Bone stock 6 speed with 16,000 miles. Did replace the runcraps with Goodyear GS D3s, wow what a difference! Painted fuel rail covers to match the car (Navy).

1969 BB vert - Purchased in 1987 (I am the 5th owner) with approximately 100,000 miles, but it has less than 10,000 since a body on restoration. 427/390 with Muncie M20 4 speed, .030 over, Comp Cam 270 Magnum, roller rockers, MSD-6AL (tucked away in the engine compartment), try to keep it as stock looking as I can.

98 C5 A4, 176,000 hard miles. Started drag racing it at 20k miles, and it is raced 2-3 times a week usually during the season. Went through a few trannies before building a strong enough one (Greg muscled a few in back when), but the rest pretty much just keeps on going.

It runs low to mid 11's on motor (330 RWHP) and high 10's on a 125 shot, and it is driven daily as the shop truck.

Tearing it down in the next month & rebuilding everything....the rack is getting loose & the motor is starting to get a little loose as well.

Bought a used 06 a6 in Jan of this year with 4500 miles. So far just a oil change, now has just over 7150 miles.

But plenty of mods are planned, headers first then heads cam.
