This weather
This weather has me using my Z06 as a work truck. Took it to the home improvements store. Took it to the grocery store. Gonna load up my rx7 wheels tomorrow night to go get new tires. I was planning on washing the corvette and the Mazda today, but 75° and sunny means windows down driving instead!
I don’t know how some of y’all own one of these and don’t drive it for months at a time!

Even though I live in a Winter snow zone, I drive 12 months year at least once a week except when the roads are wet/snow/shalt on the roads. Agree, how can you not drive this fun car.

I hate to admit it but I'm one of those guys who stores my Vette from late October through Spring and I don't actively drive her everyday. I'm going to change that this year!

I drive the car in the winter when road conditions permit, but it does sit for extended periods. The weather has been amazing the last week or so and the car has hit the road more and more. Hope we have a nice, long driving season.

Loving the weather in VA today. Definitely top down weather. I enjoyed driving with the top down on a beautiful Easter day as well. It's Springtime! Enjoy your Corvettes everybody!

Trust me it sucks!!! I swear Ohio must have a surplus of road salt because they sure like dumping it down.

I planned out a lot of mods (lights, stereo, shifter, seats) for the winter but back orders and lost packages delayed me two months.... Still scrambling to get it all back together so I can drive her again... Almost there, maybe another 6 hours of dynamat and front speaker installation and I can have the seats back in so I can drive without interior panels again.
