Hats off to those of you with only one car - the 'Vette. :flag

Every repair has to take less than a night or weekend (if you're lucky and it breaks on Friday).

I drive it a lot on non-rainy weekends and try to drive it to work at least once a week if weather is nice. Carpool with the wife (and drop my son off in the morning) so we need more than 2 seats usually.

Maybe I need to get me that Corvette Wagon. :jester

I'm not really sure how to vote. When my 'Vette had the 350 in it, I drove it every nice day (when it wasn't raining, snowing or too cold). I'm hoping that when I get the 454 in and the bugs worked out it will be no different. But I have a feeling it will be driven less. It's probably gonna become more of a weekend cruising machine.

The important thing is that we drive them and not trailer them I think that that is such a waste. :crazy:

Weekends mostly. As it warms up, it will be a occasional weeknight cruzer.

Same here, but since I work out in the middle of no-where, I'll take it to work a couple days a week.
