I drive mine everyday to work. I work from home. My wife drives it to her work, when she goes to the office, way too much it is about 35 miles each way. She has a Suburban on order that keeps getting delayed. I will be glad when it is delivered. She believed them when they said it would be built in a couple of weeks (6 weeks ago) and so traded her truck in. So we have been short a car for a while. Fortunately we have an Excursion that my teen son usually drives.

Wish I could. Sold the C7 when I got a March allocation and a projected May delivery.

Still waiting...

It’s my daily driver until winter This is the first Corvette I’ve used as my daily driver best freaking idea ever. The other ones I’ve owned were garage queens or modded to death. Hoping to drive my C8 year round snow too.

Retired also, not for the faint-hearted...

So I plan to set the alarm for 7:30 sharp.... wake up, turn it off and sleep 'till about 9:00, make coffee, go out to the garage, look at my Corvette, decide to detail it tomorrow, and then go back in the house... and watch TV...maybe toast a bagel, maybe THE WIFE will scramble some eggs...

Then I'll play it by ear after that.... have to stay loose... stay sharp... no left turns on Sleepy Time Street... that's fur sure

It's 7/24... all week long... not a day off....brutal!

Yeah hard when I've been working from home since Covid began last March. But I take it out almost daily for a spin whether I have anywhere to go or not.

Hmm, I'm retired...

But when I was working, I drove my Corvette to work most days. And now that I'm retired I drive it almost every day I leave the house.
