My daily driver, although I'm only putting about 7,000 miles a year on it.

I do drive my wife's Pontiac Vibe a little, but only when she's with me.

Driven only on weekends when the weather is fair, otherwise it gets another weekly wax job as it sits in the garage.

NO, my sports cars have never been DD's. Since I was 21 and had my first sports car I have always had a second car as a DD.
My Vette is not a garage queen, she gets plenty of use during the good weather then gets put to sleep in the winter months. Whenever I take her out, she always puts a smile on my face and all my problems fade away.

Only car - only vehicle I currently own...

Takes a little of the 'sting' out of my daily commute....

No my vette is my weekend toy. My new job as Chief of Security (after I retired from the PD) I would never bring my vette to work as it would be keyed in a second.

Same here. DD and *only* car. The Corvette and the motorcycle are my only vehicles. I do a lot of weekend trips, so I'll put about 18,000 miles/year on the Corvette... and lovin every mile!
