You are right, drive the car like it was designed to be driven. You could keep it a garage queen so that in 50 years it will go back up in value, but by doing that, you will never get to truly enjoy the car.
I could not agree with you more. Too many garage queens that are just killin me with the wax/cleaning/pimping stories. I am all for a cleaned up waxed vette (Mine is kept really clean) but these cars were made for driving hard. Kinda like buying a hooker,,,,,great to look at but you paid for it so take it for a lap or two

not yet, I just love the chromes. Have a lift and the tires ready to go mounted with sensors on the wall ready to swap out. Hell, i even have a sensor tool so i can reset them

I know you love your Vette, but note that even though they hold 2 sets of clubs, they make lousy golf carts.
Maybe with the top off??? LOL, pAuL
