Who drove their vette to work today? Or wanted to, or even drove their other cool ride today?

If you have a pic post it up.

Didn't bring the vette today, but would have liked to. I work for the school system and summer school is in session, the kids tend to gravitate towards the car and that makes me a bit nervous. But i will have it out all weekend as it is supposed to be beautiful around here.

Yesterday i got a wave from c6, c6 vert, and c6 z06. I was pretty surprised.

And as always I drive the vette everyday to work. 20 mile ride each way as well.

I drove it to work all but one day this week, including today. The only issue is I only have a 1.5 mile trip-have found several "long" ways to compensate.

Driving mine to work today. I drive it almost everyday to work and always see a few C5 and C6's who do wave. A co-worker drives her C5 every day(it is her daily driver). SAVE THE WAVE

I drive mine every day from the time I get it out of storage in the spring until I put it away before winter. I figure I'm not getting any younger, so I'm drivin' it!

Nice friday morning ride into work at 5:00AM looking forward to heading out to Iowa, about a 250 mile trip to Dennis Albaugh's Chevy Collection along with about 40 other Vetts. Time is going way to slow..
