2007 Pontiac Grand Prix.

My original plan was to only drive the Vette on the weekends. I'm finding that I'm driving it MUCH more than that...more than the Grand Prix.

Come winter time the Vette goes to sleep for a few months and the Grand Prix deals with the Michigan winter...

I probably put more miles on my road bike than anything else.



2014 Silverado LT



Then there's a couple of old Chevys. They don't have AC so it's tough to drive them during the summer in Florida.





And an old Ford just for fun.



A more modern one with nice creature comforts (and a supercharger).



But the Corvette that gets the most miles is the C5.

The wife's DD is a 2003 torch red Coupe with a six speed. My DD is a lowered 2002 Silverado. It is also red. The garage queen is the 2005 FLSTN Harley. It is black and chrome.

Not trying to be smart, I love driving my Corvette!
I for one bought my Vette as a toy and use my IS300 as my daily driver. I see no need to drive the Vette daily. I bought it for fun not to haul me to work and get groceries. This also means I spend less time washing and waxing it and more time driving it.

2013 honda accord 6 speed. Good car for a daily, can't really go wrong with a Honda. Mines a 4cyl which lets me wring it out a bit. Great shifter. Wish the seats were a little softer.

Its Carbon Flash has the 3.6 engine with automatic tranny and paddle shifters. I do wish my Vette had the bluetooth, usp port and the heated seats that the Aura has.

Whats your daily driver?

I would love to be able to use mine as a DD, but they are very rare and expensive in Australia (only 7 C5's for sale here presently). Anything less than 30 years old has to be converted to RHD by a specialty shop which is quite expensive. I am totally **** about my cars, so I am afraid to park it anywhere. It is used mainly for car shows and club runs.

My daily drive is a 2004 MGTF 160, 80th Anniversary Edition.
