Default Poll: Drive or Ship

Moving my car to my heated garage in UT in advance of the Winter months (Bay Area rain every day and UT [obvious]). Car only has 5800 miles on it. My house is exactly 750 miles away, 11 hrs. east on I-80.

Car has full paint protection film on body, skirts, splitter, roof you name it.

1) Do you drive it?
2) Do you ship it?

drive it, enjoy it. When you wind up selling it with 6k on it you will regret it.

Enjoy the drive with the young man in the picture. The memory will be far greater than the car ever will be.

No brainer. Definitely drive it. It's not garage floor art. It's one of the most soulful machines man has ever made.

I've got a buddy in Hurricane UT. I'll take one for the team and drive it out there for you. ��

Drive it. And look up some scenic byways on the way.

I just did a 2500 mile road trip in my ZR1.

They were build to drive. Not sit on a flatbed.

No brainer if you like Corvettes. Hell, I'd even look for a longer route!

Anything could happen on a road trip but by the looks on your sons face I would definitely vote drive and take him along if possible.

I love road trips...drive it 750 miles is one long day or split it into two days and make some scenic stops.
