Yuppers DRIVE it every day. Getting really nice here in Arizona now the A/C is working great now that it is below 110 Degrees out.

During the summer it's between my Vette and my Harley. During the winter if there is snow or salt on ground I take my truck.
My truck only gets driven in winter. :D

Right now, mine's a Half-Daily Driver. It's a little too cool in the morning with the tops off, but perfect the rest of the day. Since I'm too lazy too take the tops on and off every day, I leave it at home in the morning and pick it up when I go home for lunch. :D

Mine is pretty much a garage queen. I wouldn't drive it to work because of the parking. You know those University parking lots. I do try to get it out on the weekends for a nice Sunday drive.

good thing about paint thats shot is: yes, I drive it alot. I even drive it on dirt roads !
The paint was done by someone who didn't care too much. Which is good and bad. Good because I don't worry as much about small pits from the road. There are plenty already. Bad because I want to paint it and that costs too much $$$$$
However I have found that the IRS works well off road. IT would be tons of fun to climb Pikes Peak...hum... :cheers:

I don't drive it to work, but I still get out most days for a short drive. I avoid the real rainy days, but no snow here so that helps.

My '69 is a 90% daily driver. It currently leaks too bad to drive in the rain, but it doesn't do much of that around Dallas.

Hi,
We'll drive ours as much as you can in the good weather. We both have trucks to use otherwise. Kinda hard to drive a Girl Scout troop in the Vette :lol: . I'll drive it during the day- I am a SAHM so I'll enjoy it then, and take my 78 year old Mom out with me when she needs to have errands done. :D It's the Hubby's car, but until I get something of my own, I have to share. :)

The 1978 was driven every day for 3 years by either myself or my wife. Then we bought the 1972, sold the1978, and now I get the 1972 out maybe twice a month if I'm lucky. Funny thing is, the 1978 had soooooo many needs, yet we drove it every day. 1972 needs very little, if anything. And we hardly drive it. Go figure :crazy:

Greetings,
The 74 is driven daily...to work, grocery store, and wherever...Never any problems and while it's not in mint condition, it's getting there! While my C5 is being neglected, I have to admit it's a lot more fun to drive the C3!

Every dog-gone day :yesnod: My vette is my daily driver and is driven everywhere - parked and left for the masses to appreciate. :yesnod:
If for some reason the vette isnt running - I have alternate transportation that keeps me going, but the vette gets the nod all the time.
Wouldnt have it any other way, sure I have several injuries on the car - paint chips around the nose and spoiler - the spoiler gets a curb strike every day or two. I've owned the car for 6 years and put almost 80k miles on it, been on three long road trips, the latest being the Monterey Historics in August.
I love it, wouldnt have it any other way.

Although it is not a daily driver, I have had my 69 out quite a bit this summer. Since I live in New England, I am reluctantly getting ready to put it to bed for the winter soon.

Every single day, everywhere I go. But, I try my best not to park it in the street ever since I watched someone come to a skidding stop to avoid rear ending it, I guess that weren't paying attention if the missed an orange vette :crazy:
