It is very hard to find fault with the modern Chevrolet Corvette. It offers performance and capability that many six-figure exotics can’t even touch, and as an added bonus it’s no longer made of cardboard. So why do so few of them get driven?
Yesterday our man Tom McParland picked up on a somewhat disturbing trend: used car classifieds are filled with Corvettes with barely any miles on them. Whether they’re a year old or 10, it seems like there’s a massive swath of buyers who get Corvettes and just never drive them. We’re talking under 100 miles in some egregious cases.

This is, however, good news for people who can take the heat and want a good Corvette on the cheap. Always look on the bright side of things.
