So here it is National Drive Your Vette To Work Day! There I am in the Vette all ready to see hundreds of Vettes on the road and I'm ready to wave and have a big time only I saw less than normal! So I thought that I would wave to you all where ever you are! Heres a wave to you from Oklahoma City!

I observed the same thing! Washed the Vette so it would be look nice. Went out for a drive and didn't even see another one. Usually I see lots of Vettes. Maybe it's "keep your Vette in the garage" day???

I was in front of another Torch Red this morning, we took a country back road and got in them pretty hard, He was trailing right on my bumper, best commute I've ever had being as I've only had my 2000 M6 Coupe for one week today! I had the top off and all! I now know what ya'll mean by "Permagrin" this thing last forever!!!!!

Took mine today and saw zero Vettes on the way to work...of course I only have a 5 minute commute...

I'm going to swing down to the waterfront and cruise around a bit and see what I can see...Gorgeous day out, time to go.

Well, I'm here at Ft. Campbell, Ky and I'm unable to drive my Vette. Left it in NJ. Although I did see about 10-12 Vettes on the road today.
