Default “Drive Your Corvette To Work” Day

Already?

This Friday, June 26th, is the 9th Annual “Drive Your Corvette To Work” Day. In honor of Corvette's official birthday, which is June 30th, Corvette owners across the United States are asked to make “America's Sports Car” their commuter car for the day on the Friday closest to June 30. Please join Corvette Central in celebrating this special day and remember when you see other Corvette enthusiasts on the road, Save the Wave!

Live in Milwaukee and drive to Chicago everyday. Have you ever seen the people in Chicago drive? It's like a pinball machine at 70 mph down the Tri-State toll. I love my vette to death and wish I could drive it everyday, but I have a company vehicle and they pay for my gas.

Drive your vette by the old work place and do donuts in the parking lot.
