As requested, here's a pic!
(I think I said in my previous post that I was at 169,000 km's. Turns out, I had misread and I must have only had 161,900 km's. As soon as spring hits and it comes out of winter-storage, I'll fix that shortly.

99 C2 coupe, currently at 58,400 miles.
I bought with 34,000 miles. My daily driver for a little over 2 years.
Replacements: hood latch, coolant tank, MAF, airbag light (multiple times), intermediate shaft seal at 54,000 miles and replaced clutch/pp at the same time for convenience, also tightened left valve cover/cylinder head bolts as it was leaking slightly from this side.
Well into my second set of rear tires. Tire wear is one of the most annoying (to me) and under-mentioned things about the car for a daily driver. Especially considering that replacing the rear tires is more expensive than an RMS fix.
No track days for me.
