Trying to decide what to get for a daily driver. I really would like another C4 but am also drawn to this little blue oval pickup that goes fast! Help me decide. :)

A C4 vs a Lightning? What's there to think about? If you just have to have a truck, how about a Cyclone?

I hear C4s make great daily drivers. Just check out the other thread on this page with the same title :smash:

And I know every now and then you need a truck to haul things, that's why I have a Tundra in additon to my Vette :cheers:

I traded in my 1990 Chevy p/u for my 1988 Corvette. My truck was close to a show truck (never used it as a truck). I went and bought beater truck for 800.00 to haul stuff and use as a 3rd vehicle. I drive my vette everyday and love every mile. :smash:

To me my C4 is not that comfortable to be a daily driver. That's why I bought my 2001 Lightning to drive to work.

My 87 is my daily driver, gets about 60 miles a day to and from work in the summer. I drive it in the winter too, just not as much, although its still my daily driver :eek:
