Driving C5

Purchased 2000 C5 convertible several months ago. Basically my dream car. Has approximately 69000 miles on the vehicle. Just wondering how often car needs to be driven to maintain it in good working order. Not my daily driver and stays in the garage. Located in the southeastern US.

Drive it as often as you can. It won't hurt it to let it sit for a while, but it's much more fun if you are behind the wheel going down the road.

This is how you do it. Just take mine out in the winter when the roads are dry. You can't put the top down,

but the cool air is a extra kick in the pants.
