I'd have trouble carrying around my work tools and spare parts in my C3 besides, work provides the vehicle/fuel for free so I can have more $$$ to feed the Holley on my LT-1

I used to drive ~ 50 miles to work and back every day. it was fun but after I was almost rear ended a few times i decided to get a new dd before the odds caught up with me. Now I drive for fun, to car shows and 1/4 mi at a time.

Not daily since I only live 2 miles from work, but I use it 2-3 times a week to run errands or out to my folks ranch and such. I try to alternate every couple of weeks with the other cars to keep 'em all happy.
