It's a daily driver. I drive it when I need to go somewhere.

I drive my 69BB matching numbers car daily. As a matter of fact every corvette I have owned has been my "Driver".

Every third day if it's not snowing or raining. Well maybe in the rain too.

I guess using my car to get back & forth to work would be considered daily driving, right?

I rarely drive it on the weekend, except for the summer when I may look for some kind of auto get together on the weekend.

Maybe I should have created a new category of Monday through Friday. Often the best part of my workday :yesnod:

Once I get a few things worked out on my vette and the money it'll take, she'll be a daily driver.

I drive it every day, but it certainly makes me second guess going out on rainy days. I usually look for an alternative, cuz the vette likes to kick the tail out when the water's thick.

Maybe once a week if the weather is nice. I do try to at least start her up and let her run for twenty minutes or so a week. Her only duty last week was a Christmas parade.
