Hmmm... All the time is an understatement. I usually forget where I am going anyway!

I wished to hell I could just jump in mine and be on the open road. Just finished a 3K road trip and never touched the interstate ... all open road. Unfortunately, I live in a fairly large town and spend way too much time at stop lights. (Usually beside a ricer)

You bet. Nowhere in the Vette beats somewhere in any other vehicle.

Yep, I head out and look for roads I always wondered where they went to and then I go find out. It makes for a fun adventure, and I've found alot of new short cuts.

Yep. One of the best aspects of owning a vette. Wanting to drive a great car, with no particular place to go.

I'll do this occasionally. most of the tim I will make up places to go, just to justify susing the gas.

I drive mine EVERY evening that it is NOT raining in East Texas. I will go with my Buds while they ride their Harleys or just cruise with the wife and sometimes give a ride to someone that has never been in a Vette.

They never forget that 1st ride. I had my 1st ride when one of my Dad's friends picked me up at baseball practice, because Dad was working late. That was a long time ago and I never forgot the 1st Vette trip.

Went for a ride tonight and I have to stay on roads with good lighting because my low beams project about 40'.

The Vette can be great therapy when the chips are down

Also great just to jump in and go new places w/o caring how long it takes to get somewhere you recognize.

Yep, do it all the time with no particular place to go.

Chuck Berry did a song about that.

This is the ONLY kind of driving I do with my non-DD Vette. It is a pleasure vehicle only, not an errand runer....
