Garage Queens
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.

I drive mine 2-3 times a month, 716RWHP. I love to drive it, but living in NYC I usually spend most of my time sitting in F***ing traffic
Everytime I leave the city I love taking the Vette.

Before my Z went under the knife and was around 550rwhp it was driven often......
Now after this goes in along with the new hood and black CCW SP500s it will probably become more of a garage queen.....
New Transplant...
But this keeps me smiling as my DD!!!

It's always in pieces. Last time I drove it was about 15 months ago.
