Default Who has enjoyed their Vette the Most?

Hey everyone, I look on the C6 For Sale page and see all these vettes with 4K miles, 6K miles etc, that are 5,6,7 years old. I was just wondering who enjoys their Vette the most. I say driving it everyday is the most joy. I always have it with me, I get to drop the top each day, enjoy the occasional "Romp" to beat some fool or win a race. I couldn't imaging not driving it everyday.

Here is my 2009 JSB Vert with 105,000 (s)miles, runs like new, fast, clean and solid mechanically. Paint is Awesome with a 8-9 rock chips on the front (Dang highway driving).

I feel bad for those cars that are barely driven. I bought my '06 in March w/ 36k on it, and have put 8k on it since then

I purchased my C6 new, spring of 2006. Kept my C4 and divided the duty between the two cars. Traded the C6 this spring on a C7 with only 12,500 miles on the clock, some one got a great car at my expense. Not going to happen again, sold the C4 now all the
Corvette fun is limited to one car. Averaging about 5,000/6,000 miles per year.

Well I was going to guess the folks who posted in the sex in a vette thread have enjoyed theirs the most

I don't drive mine everyday but enjoy the heck out of it when I do. Not afraid to put miles on it at all. I just don't get the ones who are but hey, it's their car and they paid for it not me. They can drive it as much or little as they want. Who knows maybe they get just as much enjoyment looking at it as we do driving them

The rule is to drive it like you stole it!

But to answer your question: "Who has enjoyed their Vette the Most?", IMHO, the people in this thread have: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...?highlight=sex

Me! I have a company car so mine is not a daily driver, but I use it several times each week. Every chance I get, I take the 'Vette. Friday nights, Saturday, Sunday. It is always being driven or rubbed on on the garage. My only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner. I probably could have done it easily 10 years ago but just didn't. Lifetime dream finally realized at 56.

Just because you don't drive it much doesn't mean you don't enjoy the car. I enjoy driving mine once in a while because to me driving the car all the time gets old very fast it makes it less special/novelty. I enjoy keeping the car in pristine condition because and free of bugs, chips and scratches that is fun to me. I give two ***** about driving it/putting miles on it. Doesn't mean I enjoy it any less. I'll go for a 20-40 miles spin and put it away for a week or two and I'm good. I have to put it away for six months and I have no itch to take it out. I'm just grateful to have one.

Nope sorry, you're wrong.

I'm having more fun with my 'vette than you because I drive mine more.

I'm enjoying mine more, because I track it every weekend and you don't.

No, I'm enjoying mine more because, it's red, has chrome wheels, and a custom exhaust.

You're all wrong, I enjoy mine the most because I payed cash for it, and I don't drive it all. I just wax it once a week and use it as a lawn ornament.

What a thread.

Thanks for the mature feedback from the adults. I think they are all valid points. I understand everyone point of view.

I bought my vert new and received delivery in November 2007. When I purchased the car I had a company car and only used the Vette for fun drives, but I still racked up 62K in seven year. I fully retired July 31 of this year and took off on a road trip tp California to attend Monterey Speed Week/Pebble Beach Concurs de Elegance, I also stopped in LA and went to the Cars and Coffe at the Mazda/Ford Design Center in Irvine. I traveled to the San Franciso area for a few days then went to Everett Washinton then home through Denver, a total of 9K plus miles.

I should also mention at the time I purchased the car I was a GM employee, sadly I am not a GM retiree.
