We LOVE our Vettes! but what is your daily driver

I drive a 2009 Saturn Aura.........(it is a distant cousin to the Vette you know)

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?

My daily driver is a 2015 Ram 1500 Longhorn edition, which is ironic since I'm an Aggie.

My DD is my Vette. My backup for snowy days and when I have to transport both kids at the same time is my Dodge dually 3500, Cummins, 4x4 whose main job is pulling my fifth wheel camper. At times my wife drives the Vette to work and I drive her Acura MDX.

Why do so many of you people not drive your Corvette every day?

It's just a car and I enjoy driving mine every day.

Not trying to be smart, I love driving my Corvette!

I drive my work truck when I need more trunk space, or just don't want to get the freshly washed Vettes dirty.

My DD

Audi 2.0T M6 is my DD. The all wheel drive is fun. And just so you know, the vette stays in the garage. Its only in the street because I was doing some yard work.

2009 Malibu LTZ 4-cyl w/6-spd auto. Sadly the Vette gets just as good of fuel economy.

2015 C5 of the Year Finalist

In Arizona, where I spend the winter and spring, it's this -- 1969 Mustang Sportsroof. Drive it about five miles a day, mostly to the golf course and back.

In Seattle, where I spend the summer, it's this -- 2006 Mustang GT Premium with less than 30,000 miles. Soon to be replaced by a C5 coupe if I find just the right one.
