Grace turned 50,000 miles on the way to Carlisle this weekend—somehow fitting. We weren't able to get a shot of the odometer at exactly 50k; it was still dark outside (about 5:45 am) when it "rolled over" somewhere on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

We noticed more 50th Anniversary "sisters" at Corvettes at Carlisle this weekend—anecdotal feedback suggests that this is because many of these cars are now passing to their second or third owners, people who are quite excited to be buying a somewhat notable Corvette coupe or convertible.

Lauren (the 1985) has her brutal charms and Louis (the 2012) is stunningly competent, but Grace was our first and she's still my favorite.
