Every day for me unless I just washed it and it's raining. On those days I take the wife's car.

I don't think it actually is on June 24th, the link that someone posted earlier was to a site with an article dated 2008. This link says it's June 25th, but was written on June 24th 2010.

http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2010/...e-to-work-day/

I found this on a different site, "Every year, the Friday closest to June 30, Corvette's official birthday, is chosen to observe Drive Your Corvette To Work Day."

So I'm pretty sure it's June 25th.

June 25th is a Saturday so . . . . if it truly is "the Friday closest to June 30th" then for 2011 it would be Friday, June 24th.

Default Every day!
My only limitation is more than three or four inches of snow. Drive. Wash. (repeat as necessary)

I'm retired, but I think I will drive back to my old place of work just to make them jealous.

Never heard of this "holiday". Drive mine a couple of times a week (depending on errands list after work). If the 24th is this day, will plan on deferring any errands that day.
