Life is too short to not enjoy our Corvettes. You never know when you will get the call to leave this world. I drive mine daily but I do take care of it as well because I plan on driving mine 20 years from now if I am still around. The only ones who bennefit from keeping the miles low are the lucky buyers from the ones who took the depreciation hit. Like that 02 vette with 2700 miles. He'll never get what he is asking for so when he finally does sell it it will be for a lot less and he will not have had the enjoyment that the Corvette offers. Drive it, take care of it, love it and it will last as long as you want it to.

I am trying to figure out how to drive mine more often. I only live a mile from the office and don;t see the point in driving the vette a mile and having it sit out in a public parking lot getting nasty. A lot of the cars out there are getting really chewed up, including my BMW 7'er that I do drive to work. 2 weeks after daily driving the BMW in May, it was dinged up. Anyway, I drive my REVHIGH vette as much as i can. It's on the bottom 'shelf' in my garage all weekend. I hope to have it a long time, so I'll get my jollies out of it.
