At least once everytime I drive it. My wife loves it when I go WOT; she just wants me to let her know when I am going to do it...sometimes I do and sometimes I don't...

Nope me too!
Almost everywhere I go!
To the grocery store!
To get gas!
Down the street!
To work (on Saturdays)!
To church!
To dinner!
On the on ramp!
Away from the toll booth!
From the red light!
To just goof off!
Just to here the engine wind up from first; to second; to third is incredible. Unfortunately it's hard to find a place to unwind much past third . . . but OMG just going there is well worth the price of admission.
Visited an abandoned Indy Lights track a couple of weekends ago and was able to put the "black baby" through the paces. What a thrill! After a few full bore laps I was slinging adrenaline from my finger tips. My wish is that all C6 owners experience the daily thrill that I do.

Not as often as I'd like to. Got a 5-lane road (2 lanes each direction plus turn lane) between towns that I drive every day and there's frequently a slow driver in the left lane.
