Default Drive your Corvette to Work Day 2016!

So who here plans to drive their C3 to work this Friday? Thought we could start a thread and have everyone post a picture of their car at work.

Drive safely everyone.

I'm on summer break. Guess I'll just have to drive it somewhere else.

Absolutely. I drive my Vette damn near every day.

My "Daily Driver" is a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack with a Shaker in Sublime. Super fun car and ridiculously fast. I ordered it from the factory and had it for a year. I love that car.

Buuuuut....

The Vette is so much F'n fun!

My plant is on our two week summer shutdown.
I'll make a point to drive it somewhere Friday morning, but not to work.

i'm hoping too but there is a 60% chance of rain as of today with typical T-tops that leak a little and I have a 45 minute ride there. Owner of our company has a 67 hard top that he will probably drive since his daily driver is a 2015 C7 and he is only 12 minutes away.

I haven't fixed the A/C yet....The drive to work wouldn't be bad, but the drive home would just about kill me. I am taking it to the local town square on Saturday for cruise night.

Don't think that is going to happen this year. MAYBE by 2020! Besides, I live where I work - that doesn't get it either! BUMMER! Do promise I will drive the daylights out of it when it gets done!

This is the first year I can't drive my vette to work. I retired in Sept. Bahahahaha

I will drive it somewhere though. Maybe HomeDepot. I'm renovating the house.

I would like to, but it will be raining and have an Intermittent misfire that I'm still waiting on good weather and parts to continue trouble shooting.

RKY MTN C6 I always enjoy your pictures. Beautiful cars and against a beautiful backdrop. Your black '78 looks great also.

I drive my vette every single day to work. Use it for errands, too.

Tomorrow I drive her to work and then straight to the clubhouse for a 10:30am tee time. Yes, I carry the clubs in the car!!

Today is the Day! Be sure to post up your pictures if you drove yours in today. Unfortunately for me, I had to drive to a work site that isn't friendly to anything other than trucks... So I am stuck in the truck until later. Maybe I will get some free time to go and switch out later.

Drive Safely!
