I'm in if the weather cooperates. My wife knows about it too and will be driving our C5. The 64 vert leaks too much for rain driving.

Thanks for the heads up. A good excuse. I'll pray for no rain.

Alabama 96F, 75% humid, black leather no AC; perhaps I'll work from 6 am to 7am before the temperature goes into the 80's.

To drive my 66 to work, I need to get a job. No thanks.

Its been raining like a Sombitch forever in the DFW and Friday won't be any better. I think all the rain is part of the promotion for that Noah's Ark movie that's out.

I was all set to do it, then I find out I'm taking the family to Tampa instead of work on Friday. We can't all fit in the Corvette.

I guess when I get home, I will pull it out instead.

Have fun driving your car to work.

But remember that if you have an antique auto insurance policy (Hagerty, Grundy, JC Taylor, etc.), you aren't covered when you drive that car to work.

So, you weren't driving to work. You were driving to a car show, or driving to have the car repaired. You didn't drive to work that day. You took the day off, but decided to drive to a Jiffy Lube or Chevy dealer that just happened to be near work for an oil change. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I walk to work. It takes 3 minutes. It takes three times that to just warn it up.

Default JC Taylor a no-go

JC Taylor said they would get an adjuster to work with me if I wanted to drive to work once or twice a year.. Thanks! Coincidentally, my shop is next door to my work and I will bring it in to get a rear pan leak fixed.. Thanks for the tip...

In honor of this day - and to commemorate that I cannot drive my Vette - I'll bring a piece with me.

Here in NJ should be high 70s low 80s. Rain or shine windows open to vent the cabin of foul smells-see deceased critters post, the '65 coupe will be on the road tomorrow. Can't miss my first National drive your Vette to work day.
