Went to a Cars and Coffee. Tons of Z06s with tons of chrome bits under the hood. Not my crowd I guess. Bought the car to drive.... not to polish.
true that bro.

I drive my vette only weekends or when I have night shifts. Really enjoying the downshifting with the Rev Match.

Did get caught in the rain once, it was like driving on ice even in WX mode with the cups, not fun.

Default Driving the Z
Even though I am retired I drive my Z06 all the time. Several road trips and some open road racing (Silver State, Big Bend, Sand Hills), autocross, Mojave Magnum, and drag racing. Picked up my Z06 at the NCM at the end of January 2015. It will have 27000 miles on it when I get back from my current road trip--Loving every minute of driving it

I have an addiction and my Z06 is the drug. I can't get enough of this car and drive it whenever the weather's fine.

I drive mine mainly on weekends but when i do take it out, i put a good amount of miles on it. Had the car already 2 months and i have 2000 miles, well like 1980 as of today lol. So that's about 12,000 a year.

Although it won't get driven in winter. As soon as the first snow hits the ground, it's done until spring lol.
