I miss driving mine. I need to replace the wheel hubs and ball joints, but it is too damn cold outside and I don't have a real shop. I know as soon as it warms up and I get it fixed I'll be at it again. I've put 70k miles on mine in 3 years.

My commute is about 40 miles each way and I drive mine every chance I get.

The best vette is the one I own and drive and that is my C5 04 vert. It was 25 degrees when I took it out today and I was sad; because I was to much of a woos to put the top down.
