Hey guys i know it's a little off topic but, i was just wondering how often do you guys drive your cars? My car is not my D.D It's H/C/ and 3.90 gears and a bunch of other stuff i don't feel like typing. 480/420
I drive mind less and less maybe 2 or 3 times a month. I get tired of going to the same cars shows after a while, and untill i get my cage put in my car i can't race it at the track since it's a vert. My best so far is an 11.38@ 123mph
Thanks guys for taking the time to read and respond.

Funny you should ask.
My '75 as approx. 108k on the clock and the '04 is about to see 30k.
The wife and I had both out today taking the grandkids on a ride with one of the Vette Clubs we're in. Stopped and ate at a restaurant and when we'd come out all the Vette's had waterspots on them. It had sprinkled rain just enough to
them up.
Grandson commented that "know wonder Poppy doesn't like to drive them in the rain. They show dirt easy." Wasn't a big deal. Gave my granddaughter, she's older and can help, a chance to wash and shine them up.

Mine is a daily driver. I have had it for 2 days and drove it both. But I plan to drive it only on weekends, if I can refrain from weekdays.
What a blast. I can't get the smile off my face. When I get more pictures, I'll post them.

When I had mine, I started out using it as a DD. However, after about a year and a half, I got another car and the Vette became a fair weather car. Ended up maybe driving it 1-2 times a month since I showed the car alot.
