Default Anybody do this?

I have a very nice custom Z71 truck with less than 30k miles, and a brand new Eddie Bower Expedition and find myself grabbing the 1990 Corvette keys when leaving the house. Is this weird? My toy is turning into a daily driver.

I have even thought about shedding my Z71 because it sits and it would be an extra $700/mo I could put into my cash car Corvette that I owe nothing on.

My wife thinks this is weird, but it really doesnt matter to her because she begs to drive it too!

The only time I don't prefer to drive the Vette is if there is snow/ice on the ground.

Weve never had ice or snow on the ground here so that tells you how often I take the vette over the truck :lol:
