None of the above, except the Cruise part. I've never dragged, showed, autoXed or, road raced. Would i like to? you bet. i would really like to try my car out at the dragstrip some day.

since it's my DD, i drive it like it's any other car, but i know it's not like any other car. i still have plenty of 'fun' moments when i'm driving it, though. I would have more fun if my vette were a MN6, but i can deal with an automatic for another 2.75 years. ( is that all i have left??!! ) After it's paid off, i guarantee you i'll be looking to add another vette to my collection. I'll either get a 95-96 C4, or a C5.

I like to own a Vette, say I own a Vette, say I can afford a Vette, say I can afford the Insurance on a Vette.......You people out there in Jersey know what I'm talkin' bout.....what say you????
Aside from that...I like to drive my 87....and am planning on having some fun at shows...and in a few years when my 1 yr old son Vince is old enough...use it against him as leverage in keeping him on the straight & narrow, out of trouble and his nose to the grindstone!!! No effort...no VETTE!!!

You should have made this a poll. Im curious as to what most people mainly use their Corvette for.

1. Daily driver
2. Weekend cruiser
3. Racer (drag, autox, etc.)
4. Investment (sits in storage, never driven)
5. Other

My guess would be 2.

If it was in poll format you could not include the deviants except as (5. Other)
