No not drive it for a long time. Which roof do you keep on it and why?

It would be too depressing to store the car for any length of time and not be able to take it out and enjoy it!!!

Only one I have - the glass top. When I had my '99 (dual top option), I still kept the glass one on. No particular reason though.

I keep the matching roof on and store the glass one in a soft coated protection wrap because I understand the glass one is susceptible to peeling. I figured why add extra risk by having it sit while in storage mind you I can't see much risk while sitting.

my car sets from November till April in a car capsule inside my garage which is heated to 45 degrees. I put the painted roof on (not locked down) to get it off the bed in the spare bedrom where it rests for the summer and put my glass top in the storage area

BTW if you store the vette with a top not secured, for preceived stress relief , hang a string down from the latch directly in front of the driver seat to remind you.
