-OR-
Should you just creep on the solo tip and keep it real on the down-low? :confused:
Translation: Is it wise to risk the consequences of jealousy by driving your Corvette to work when it's superior in every way to the cars your supervisor and co-workers drive?
-OR-
Should you just keep it parked at home and keep the joy of Corvette ownership to yourself?)

Re: Is it wiser to.... (Alchemist)
I have a bit of the same problem, but in a different way - driving my 'vette to school, or not?
I was (and still am) worried about people scratching/keying/sugaring whatever but I figure I bought the car to drive it, and so I will. This doesn't mean I'm going to be stupid about it, though - hence the locking gas cap.
As long as I can feign humbleness, and silently nod my head when other students tell me that their sticker-laden civics will beat the crap out of me, I should be ok.

Re: Is it wiser to.... (VetteNoob)
Just don't be a Di#@! Act like your better etc. and I don't think you'll have
a problem. I had to drive mine to a similar job setting everyday because its the only car I had! But believe it or not I have got better jobs/positions from driving a Vette because higher ups thought "this guy must have his poop together!"

Re: Is it wiser to.... (VetteNoob)
Take it to work, but put a car cover and lock it with a cable and if you're really paranoid sew some thin foam inserts along the side. There are times when I feel like doing that. Whatever you decide just remember that since you have a Vette... you're bedda dan day yar :D

Re: Is it wiser to.... (87Beast)
I wouldn't worry about. I drive mine to work and if no one likes it, oh well. I do try and keep an eye on it, but like anything else, it'll pick up a nick and a scratch there. :mad I'm just not going to be paraniod and leave it at home and never drive it out of fear something will happen to it. :nonod:
