how often do you drive your z06?
I bought my car(01z06) back in November and have put about 2000 miles on it since and i rarely ever drive the car it seems. Im 21 go to school and work and i hate to drive it up to work and school but all week is school and weekend is work, i feel as if i bought the car to sit.I just bought a cam package and other boltons and i still feel as if it will just sit unless i practically DD the car or suck it up and drive it hear and there, just curious what others do with there car! thanks!

I too bought mine to drive and I drive it daily. The only time I drive my Bronco is to tow a trailer or if snow is sticking to the ground. I've never understood why somebody would buy something and just have it sit in their garage (depreciating in most cases). I guess I learned from my Dad. He has a 27 model T roadster that could win a lot of car shows that he built. He drives that puppy all of the time, he built it for him to enjoy.

its not my DD because i cant stick a baby seat in it
so i usually drive it when the wife gets home and on the weekends about 150 to 200 miles a month. the only good thing is my baby girl is growing and she will soon be able to sit in the pasenger side

I couldn't put it better myself. I drive mine everywhere I can, the '02 Avalanche with 09" of lift on it and 35's only comes out on the weekend and when I'm feeling really, REALLY pissed off

I bought my 02 Z, in 06 it had 12K on it, now it has 14K on it, I drive it on only perfect days, under perfect conditions.
And it will stay that way untill it sells, if not this year maybe next year, I have too many other cars to have fun with, I have a new c-6 coupe and a new miata cp, and an old maita roadster for a dialy driver.

Not enough.
Weather permitting, whenever i can. I really have to like plan out trips before i take it out which i don't like. I hate parking it, it's low scrapes everything. I don't know people always ask me "where is the vette" and it's "oh it's going to rain later" or it's "i don't want to park it there all day".
Its a lot of money to just sit, but i am too **** about it. Always was with my camaro and it's the same with this vette. I hope once the april showers are through i will drive it everyday it's nice.

Mine was in the garage for about four months this winter, too much crap on the roads.
In the summer two or three days a week, around 3000 miles a year.

I have a 2002 Z06 i bought in 2005 with 15k miles. I now have 20k, don't drive it much. I have my own business so I leave to work in my work truck, only time i get to drive it is on weekends.
