First Commute In My 291k Mile Corvette Z06! Did I Buy The WORST Possible Daily Driver? Ep. 02 

$3.17 for 93 in September, man I miss the days....

300k on this ZO6, is crazy! Looks like a well cared for car. I would drive it!

I LOVE high mileage cars. Cars are tools meant to be used. No one brags about never using their $200 DeWalt drill because that would sound stupid. The high miles is proof it's built well. Find a 300k Ferrari. Not easy.

You better not ever touch my Corvette with a forklift to change tires

I've owned 4 vettes and if you know what you're getting when you buy or what to look for you won't be disappointed. One thing I've learned is a Corvette is usually it's had it's ass kicked out by a prior owner are cared for better than your first born.

Love the Cup wheels with machined face, had those on my previous '13 GS and everyone loved the look. Great choice!

I agree. The C7 Grand Sport wheels look awesome and my favorite of all the Vette wheels.

Love watching your video m8, keep up the good work.

The very best tool you have is that forklift! :) Love this content.

It's crazy to see how many fork lifts are used to lift these cars coming from the auctions. I would imagine they create damage to the under carriage. Then again for a flip car, guess it doesn't really matter for the seller since they are usually written off.

I am soooo glad I found this channel 3wks ago. Instantly my favorite! Keep posting the vids. I will be watching. Oh, and if you can, please do a Jaguar F type. I would love to see that.

love the car hope you fix the bugs , love love love the color and the Wheels/Rims are perfect

Awesome video continue putting out content God bless you

Awesome video!!

I’m interested. The C5 was the start of the really good corvettes to come.

Nice choice on the cup wheeels

Love the cup wheels. And the color of the car. Good luck

Thank ur corvette ...just subscribed keep up the good content👌

Looks like you will be doing a motor rebuild, exhaust changes, A/C REPAIR, AND ELECTRIC REPAIR, AND REBUILD THE front end and rear shocks. Still a good buy if you are macanical inclined. That you for the video showing awesome video

Looks good... Can't imagine these low profile things are practical on real roads. Humm... 1500 rpm @ 69mph... nice... 25mpg? Good luck with the "new" car. 🖒🤠

i worked in salvage yards all of my early life, ive used the forklift on my own cars as just a habit and a quick way to ger her off the ground, never damaged anything lol

Exterior looks to be in great shape

I have a 2008 corvette convertible, atomic orange and hopefully I will get the same high mileage too 😊

Them wheels make the car look amazing

Wheels are a very personal thing , I don't care for those wheels - love your videos, watch them all

i would expect suspension parts like bushings, bearings, springs and shocks are all things that would need replacement. Also injectors likely need cleaning, sensors need resetting and some likely replacement. Battery replacement, ABS sensors, and all these things aren't actually really expensive things to replace (i dont expect a 300k mile corvette to be expensive to buy) but are likely to make a huge difference to the vehicle. Then have it serviced (oil and all fluids), check the relays and replace relays of things that aren't working properly, and have it balanced and aimed/straightened after the suspension parts. all will always be more expensive than the actual value of the car but that doesn't mean it would be less fun. matter of fact, even if the engine is or goes bust, you can find a replacement engine with low mileage easy enough and have a great relatively cheap fun car.

Sick car bro

The mag ride shocks likely need replacing, that's what one of those errors usually means... Check and see if they're leaking dark fluid. The exhaust tips are also crappy aftermarket...

Can you tell me what you had to change/fix to make the windows work properly. My 07 is doing this now.

Grounding issues? Well that sounds like a heap of fun…😳😳😳

awesome color

Yessir 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Did he say 100 miles home? Screw that 😂

Magnetic ride control shocks are out is why its floaty.

I would drive it in a heart beat!

What a beautiful car

Prefect vehicle to build into a track car, beat it mercilessly.

Mood light for the win

I found a few Vipers with more than 100k miles. Cant beat american muscle.

Those adv1 wheels were the shit few years ago 😂

thats bananas a car that has that type of power can make nearly 300k miles

Car still looks good. With some work it could be a good car again. How much did you pay for it? The dash lights are an easy fix. Just clear the codes and the problems will be gone 🤣

Hows the suspension? On a high mile car changing out a worn suspension provides some of the greatest joy increases.

I've seen multiple c5's above 300k so I don't doubt a z06 could do it too with proper maintenance. These engines last a long time.

My Atomic Orange Z06 just let out a tear for it's AO cousin, forklift lift 😢

Not bad and you cant beat the price.

Those rims are radical….

What was that device you used for the tpms?

what site can i get 2011 corvette parts from great show learn about vets

Dont be afraid of high mileage cars. I love my 05 Grand Marquis. 245+ miles and it'll still break the ass end loose and get decent mileage on the hiway💯❤️👑💪🏿

Just refresh the motor with a rebuilt kit Guys got a gem here

I go bronze concave forged brushed bronze with yellow willwood calipers

Shocked it didn't drop a valve in that time. Being 95% have worn guides in 10k miles or less

how much did you pay for the z06? i'm looking for one just like that one color and all?

Man, you are not lying about those CVS receipts. I’m trying to leave and I’m always waiting for this thing to stop printing. They must run through ink like nobody’s business.

Aye no cap whats the name of the tool u used to reset them tire pressure sensors

Well, at least She sure is PRETTY lol.. Best Of Luck To You, Keep zip the Good Fight.

Looks like someone got their money’s worth out of that car. I hope you get as many if not more miles out of it.

It looks so funny when such car is on forklift. Yeah, why not when you need to fix something :-)

now I have a need for a fork lift 🤣🤣🤣

I’m curious at what the car cost you and what it’s worth buying anything with that milage is risky and the Z06 did really well didn’t catch fire didn’t strand you didn’t stall or fail to restart so yes hell yes I’d buy a higher mileage corvette if I found one in that shape 👍

How many times has the engine been rebuilt?

Wow! Personally having a 16k mile Z06 I can’t imagine someone putting that many miles on one! Mine has been a garage queen and probably for sale in 2023.

is this LeeC parts by the bay bridge? I bought a Dodge Viper T56 for my datsun from you guys a few years ago. really cool to randomly come across this on youtube.

Black rims have grown on me over chrome or brushed..

How much did you get this for?

I wouldn't be surprised at that mileage its on its 2nd or 3rd engine... So 295k on the body and probably many many parts replaced already. So if you got a good buy on it good for you, the body is fiberglass so its not rusting out anytime soon....... Be proactive and get the heads fixed at AHP asap.

pretty car

Will those wheels fit a c 5

You can keep the vette. I want the forklift.

As your driving im like I know where he is on Rt50 Lol.

Good car should last forever if it’s maintained right and swap consumable parts often

You're lucky to have 93 octane where ever you ar. AZ gas sucks here with 91 octane being the highest. My car requier's 93.

this color is amazingg.if you ever do giveaway il be grateful bc i wouldnt change anything on car

liked the wheels u took off better

Never thought id see cambridge MD on youtube lmao

Best ever stock vette wheel is the oem zr1

I fux widdit!!!😎👍🏾👍🏾

whenever i saw him walk to the forklift i said, “ pls dont tell me hes about to pickup a corvette with a forklift”

You have a 200 mile commute to work?

How much to Buy ?

What was wrong with the original wheel?

Hey C6 ZO6 it’s a fixer I’d drive it

did you sell it ??

My C6 has 200K

Depends on how much you payed for it. If you pull the motor and rebuild it drop it back in with a refreshed trans then yeah sell it make some cash or keep it and make it nasty. Either way the c6 corvettes are timeless and will only go up in price. They are light weight and aerodynamic, the motors are stout and the mod game is endless with an after market to support it.

Pretty sure those are not the approved jacking points!!! LOL If it still has the 7.0 engine, get those valve guides replace or they will grenade the engine!

Is. It. For sale

Is this Atomic Orange?

How much did you pay for it ?

I need a forklift…:)

Ain’t no way 300k miles😂. I’d be happy to rebuild that motor and send the trans out though.

Yeah lifting the car with a forklift ain't cool in my opinion , and would never do that to my car

I assume you sold it?

I can not believe that asking price for c6 45 k

original heads???

You guys put way too much trust in that little fork lift…

Do you do that commute every day??

Was it orginal ls3???

You drive 100 miles to work everyday?
