I rotate DD duty between my 91 and 79. There's no reason to have something so nice and not use it. I'll drive them until they break, and fix them right up again. Regular maintenance will make these cars last a lifetime, so you won't need to restore it all at once in a few decades.
Life is short, so enjoy it like it's your last day, every day.

C6 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019
Daily Driver for me, I wanted to try not to put too many miles on her, but is too fun to drive. I can't seem to put the keys down, plus Im always cleaning, washing, waxing changing and upgrading parts. Its my first Vette and I feel like I want it to last forever. I'm even thinking of getting a C6 but never get rid of the C4.
I spent the last year changing out almost everything.
Should be a great DD for him and I want to drive it some also.
If you can go ahead and get a C6, they are great cars. 74k on my 07 with no problems. Have 112k on the 85.

I recently bought a one-owner 24,000 mile '96 CE in excellent condition.
I really appreciate that the previous owner only put about 1600 miles a year on the car and kept it in his garage more than he drove it, so 15 years later, I could end up with a '96 Vette that feels like a new car that's just been broken in.
Now that I have it, I drive it and enjoy it, instead of mostly not driving it and saving the mileage for some other guy 15 years from now.
I do keep it washed, waxed, vacuumed and detail cleaned, and keep it parked in the garage when I'm home, but I drive it to work each day (parked in a parking structure away from other cars), I run errands in it, etc.
I really enjoy driving it, and fortunately, I live in a climate where I can drive it year-round without regard to the weather.
