Is your Vette your only car?
I know the vast majority of Corvette owners have a second car (or more) that they use as a Daily Driver. I have owned several Corvettes and I too, have always had a second car as my DD.
Now that I am retired and living down South....my new GS Coupe is my one and only car! This is a switch for me..but I am enjoying it this way!
So how many of you "Corvette only" owners are out there?

For the past 2 months, yes. The other car was almost never driven so when I found a chance to sell it I did. If I need to haul anything too big for the C6 with its 21 cu. feet of cargo space, I can always go to U-Haul and rent a van.

I guess you can get away with that in Southern climates. 
My DD is a trusty (now rusty) Ford Ranger and the wife has a 2010 Equinox (she lets me drive it cause I paid for it!).

Yes, the Vette is my only car. My wife has her own car. My DD gets driven about 5 or 6 times a week, for about 8K to 9K miles a year.

I've always had only one car. I'm 51 now and even when I was a kid I never had more than one at a time and I think I've had 14 cars total since I was 15.

Yes, my Vet is my only car. I have rented other cars to see how my drive home would be after work, but all of them failed except the Vet. After a hard or bad day at work, the Vet is my decompression chamber.
