Re: Who uses there C3 as a daily driver (dogboy)
I plan on driving it more when it get some weather stripping on it! Right now I have only put about 2,000 miles on it since I got it on the road (Oct. 2002). :thumbs:

I have always used my corvettes for drivers. I drive my 69 34 mile each day to work most of the time.

I work from home, but I drive it as much as I can. I would consider it a daily driver since it gets as much miles as my other car.

Except for gas prices, its tough to justify not taking the vette as my other car has a 1.8 liter I4!

My vette is not only my daily driver, currently it's my only car. Yes, I drive it in the rain, sleet, snow, or whatever comes my way :cheers:

Each vette that I've owned has always been my daily driver. They are meant to be driven. We don't think twice about driving a new $20-$50k car and my vette cost a lot less than that. If it breaks I fix it. If it needs paint I paint it. Even driving my vert every day, it maintains it's value better than a new car.

I live in the SW area. A 77 orange. Have you seen me on the road?? I don't think there are too many down my way although I did see one last year at Corvettemasters. What part of town are you in.

I put on an average of 7000 miles per year.
I actually did use the 80' Duntov (sold) as a daily driver for approx. 6 weeks during last year because I gave my daily driver to my parents during their visits..

Mine is daily driven from May to October, I usually put about 5k a year on mine, I usually don't have to go any farther than around town though. If I do have to go farther, I take my 2000 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi (supercharged :D ) :cheers:

Used to for 3 years straight. But as gas prices approach $2.00 p/gallon the $6K Civic I drive may actually be paid for in the gas the Vette would have sucked up in just 2 years. :lol:

20,000 miles a year.This winter's been an exception for me.Just put $5000 in the motor and feel a little skittish driving on ice and snow with 500hp.Been driving the Olds instead and hate it. :mad

My only vehicle, so it goes rain or shine. Not only is it fun, but it is therapy starting and finishing the day looking out over those bulging fenders and long hood of a Shark. Hershey :chevy
