Silly question....
My wife and I are going to the Kentucky Derby next year (first Weekend in May). We want to rent/driveaway a Corvette and drive back home to San Jose, CA via old Route 66 (what's, left of it). I've searched rental company's, driveaway companies, and anything else I can think of, but no results so far. Anybody got any ideas?

Try those exotic rent-a-car places. I know they have them in Beverly Hills. And there are a lot of those exotic car time share places. One by my house has a Z06 there. You have an option to try the membership for a while.

I thought about buying one, but even at $200/day and a total drop off charge it would still only come to about $2-3k one way (we're flying to Louisville). The depreciation on a Vette with 3000 miles on it would be alot more than that including tax, license, etc.

I saw your post on renting a Corvette. I would like to do the same thing as it's cheaper for me to spend a couple thousand a year to rent one for my two road trips per year than buy one and let it sit 50 weeks. Eventually I will probably own one but I need to get rid of a few toys first.
Any luck in finding rental Corvette's?
Thanks
