I've always only had my vette. That ment i had to drive it rain or shine, which isn't bad, just a lot more washes. Just bought a Tahoe and a cover for the vette. I still drive the vette when it's nice outside, but keep it covered up at night and when it's bad weather outside. Doesn't hurt my feelings if the tahoe gets dirty.

We have a 2002 Monte Carlo and a 2004 SSR to drive - but - as long as there isn't any salty roads this winter I plan to drive the Vette all I can

I have an Audi A4 quattro that is supposed to be my DD, but I like driving the Vette so much that I hardly ever drive the Audi. In fact, I've forgotten where I last parked it...

I have an 04 Mustang for a DD and a Wrangler (wifes car) for bad weather.
The Vette is a garage queen, my '48 Pontiac is her room mate. But I drive the Vette to work about once a week and weekends.

My only car. Driven day, night, rain, sleet, and yes, snow. For what I need it for, its been so far very practical.

Anyway, I drive my 2003 everyday in the UK come rain or shine, usually rain.

Why leave it in the garage when you can smile from ear to ear every time you drive it

With the cost of gas in the UK, Corvettecentral is way up there on the Corvette Enthusiasm scale!!!
