Is your C4 your daily driver?

93 coupe, my only car and daily driver for over a year now. cant imagine not driving it every day or attempting to drive another car.
helps i live in california and the weather goes from 60-90 where i live. i do drive in the rain, usually in the slow lane going 50ish mph wondering if i should have put on more all weather tires
also i never have any issues getting in or out, but maybe it is because i am only 24, anyone else who wants to ride with me always makes a huge deal about trying to get in and out of the passenger side

I bought mine with 69k miles almost 4 years ago. I used it as a DD until I hit 100k, and started to have problems. So I knocked the dust of my real DD and use the vette on weekends only. When she is running correctly, it is my weekly fix.

My user name 89dd stands for daily driver. Only snow keeps her in the garage.
I love going to the supermarket and the look on peoples faces when loading the car with groceries as there loading their minivans.

My 94 is strictly a toy - used only when the weather is nice and sunny, and the blacktop is dry. And the physical condition and mileage on the odometer (64k) in 2010 when I got it shows is was a play toy.
Generally --- on the East Coast Corvettes are seasonal cars used between April and November then put to sleep for the winter. The majority of people that I know from a few local Corvette clubs in NJ do the same as me - have the Vette in the garage and only take it out when the weather is nice, and very protective, not used as DD's.
On another personal note --- it gives me a warm feeling inside when I drive the clean shiny car out of the garage for a weekend drive - and the heads turn.....

Friday through Sunday. I'm in sales and drive 60-80 miles a day. Sometimes 130 miles. Don't want to rack up those miles on my baby! I talk to her every day though.

The plan was for mine to be a daily driver. The only other vehicles I own belong to my business (except for my wife's ride). Now that I scored such a nice specimen I'm having second thoughts about piling the miles on it.

Mine is 20 years old and I bought it 13 years ago with 18000 miles on it. In 13 years I have only put another 20,000 miles on it. Basically a top down weekend cruiser.
My DD is a 2000 Silverado Pick Up with 220,000+ miles that is a perfect car for urban traffic.
I would like to have a more fun DD and in another thread I am talking about adding a low mileage C5 to the mix and actually driving it all or most all the time. Hopefully my Truck won't get sad and than break down due to its newly jealous and sad nature given the possible new addition to the family.

Mine is not. I have a Honda Accord. I love having a car that I just do not fret over.

I don't have TIME for my 94 to be a daily driver. Living on a gravel road with the nearest blacktop 2 1/2 miles away it takes me a good 20 minutes or so just to get to some pavement with the vette. The '01 Bonneville is a great DD/work car and the Impala is my "nice" car for going out to dinner or to a movie. The 94 is a fair weather toy although I think I did drive it to work twice this year. My NCM insurance policy has a 6000 mile/year clause so I try to at least get that used up
