Vette is our third car since we got my wifes 01 PT Cruiser and My 2000 Durango paid off. We trade off driving the Vert to work during the week because we both love driving it. If the weather looks like serious rain though we will leave it home. Not much snow here in Atl.
My Durango has been a great car though! Almost 100K on it and not 1 problem. We still have top down weather in the afternoon so I have had really been enjoying the daily commute!!

I live in Chi-town area too.

04 C5 vert is wife's daily driver. Her backup is a Honda Accord (also driven by sonny boy when he comes home from school).

Mine is a 4wd Silverado, which also works a little better pulling my boat.

C5 is decent weather driver only. Will get put away at first snow (or around Christmas), and I'll pull 'er back out sometime in March.

It used to be my only vehicle. But there are some places around here that I just don't want to take 'er. So, now I have a '95 Nissan pickup truck.
