Use it as a 1 year olds play pen while I work in the Garage. Convertible top down.
I see him tumbling, climbing, pushing every button, touching the INSIDE of the windshield with his drool filled wet hands.
Oh the humanity!

Just for fun, I am sure I have broken almost all of them. I'll start.
1. I drive in the rain.
2. I have gone a few days without cleaning it.
3. I have driven in through hail.
4. I have left it outside not in the garage before.
5. Sometimes during lunch I eat in my car.

Never done any of those.....
......plus I never leave her in direct sunlight,...and if by chance I pick up some food on the way home, I always leave the windows down until the smell is gone.....

Sorry Father for I have sinned. I lusted after a new Camaro while listening to its awesome exhaust note sitting in front of me at a traffic light.

I was gonna ask if he had pix. But you beat me to it.
Anyways I drive mine like I stole it. 3rd gear is for intersections with yellow lights. If there's room it will fit when passing. I did the wave to a Camaro and felt stoopid. I try not to eat in it. Never drink in it. I didn't do Rita but I've prolly done her friend. Hauled some PVC pipe. Raced several Mustangs. It needs washing now. I'm basically the ***** everybody says gives Vette drivers a bad name. Like I told a jerk once, If I can afford the car, the gas, the insurance, I can afford to drive it anyway I want, so go F yourself.

2-I've driven it in snow.
3-I've driven it in rain.
4-It's been over 3 moths since I waxed it.
5-I've been on a dirt road; there was an accident, and couldn't help it.
6-I eat in it.
7-have put way more miles than some of the members in the forum put together.
8-Crapo, my list is long.
9-I am a bad owner. I know, I know.

2. Very much yep. Two weeks once.
3. No hail here.
4. No garage. Just a carport where my IROC sleeps.
5. I haven't eaten in it. I cringe when going to BK and putting their paper bag on the passenger side floor mat. I figure I can clean/replace the floor mat easier than the seat.

LOL... You know what I see here?
A bunch of people who, when they go to sell their car, are gonna get hosed when the prospective purchaser digs up this thread and reads about the abuse you all have dished out! Of course, MAYBE thats a good thing, because I don't think I could ever part with this car until it is incapable of moving in a forward direction any longer.
With that being said, I've driven through miles of soupy, muddy dirt roads in the smaller towns off the Alaska road system:
and last week I drove it in the snow (but it didn't really count because I only backed it out of my driveway and into the street, so as to reposition it to the other half of my garage).

You have me beat big time.
The wifes 98 convt. has 13,400 miles.
It has gone over 3500 miles between oil changes.
It sits out in the driveway. The 65 convt. got the garage, and the Harley is garaged.
It has gone over two weeks between washes.
I let our 29 year old son drive it unattended, he turned off the traction control in front of his house and proceeded to melt the tread off the runflats for about 60 or 70 ft.
I haven't taken it to the track as I don't consider C-5s RACE CARS, ( Sorry)
No ZAINO, I use Mothers on all my vehicles.
