In my case it would be drive your car to work and get it keyed day. Too many door bangers in my parking lot. No thanks

Why is June 26th Drive Your Corvette to Work Day? Traditionally - it was meant to celebrate the anniversary of the first Corvettes off the production line - which is June 30, 1953. Just curious - is it because it is the last Friday of June?

“Drive Your Corvette To Work Day is held on the Friday closest to June 30th, when the first Corvette rolled off the assembly line in 1953 in Flint, Michigan. We encourage every Corvette owner to drive his or her car on June 26th because it is the perfect way to say ‘Happy Birthday’ to America’s sports car,” said Mike Yager, founder and “Chief Cheerleader” of Mid America Motorworks, the world’s leading supplier of Corvette parts and accessories
