Slow as molasses, but cheap and reliable.

My Z06 is my bad weather car. My '70 vette is a convertible and leaks in the rain so it stays at home.

If it ices (one day a year around here) I will take the wifes 4x4 tahoe.

I've put over 10,000 miles on it since buyin it in January of this year and no problems other than a dead batter when I went on vacation for over a week.

Pulls my jeskit just fine.

My daily car is a 2004 Z06.

Why have one if you don't drive it? I enjoy being behind the wheel every day!

The weather gets pretty rough here in the NE during the winter and with my 32 mile commute to work each way, would be impossible in a Corvette especially during a snow storm dropping 1-2+ feet of snow. And the gravel, sand, salt and chemicals used on the roads along with the large potholes would cause much damage.

Winter vehicles:
'01 4X4 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6 cyl
'04 4X4 Jeep Grand Cherokee 8 cyl, 5 spd auto trans & 3.73 gears

When we lived in Florida my wife and I each had C5 convertibles as DD's, no need for a second vehicle in the sunshine state.
