Most nice days from mid-April into November. Don't put a lot of miles on it, usually go into town and back, 30 mile round trip.

It's my daily driver, but then I'm retired, so it doesn't go out everyday, but get used, that's for sure, and always enjoy driving it.

So once a week for a short cruise.

With my schedule it's not as often as I'd like. Mon + Thurs. I do not drive it as I come home late and there are many deer to avoid(Honda Civic can take that chance). Every other day I will drive it unless it's foul weather(snow/hail etc.). At 37 miles one way to the office the Vette makes either the highway or backroads much more fun.

As often as possible. Didn't drive as much as I should have when it was new. Now trying to make up mileage prior to trading next year on a C7.

I try to drive it daily for about 2 weeks( 400-500 miles) at a time from April to October and then once every 10 days (about 30-50 miles) from November to April (if no snow or ice) just to keep the fluids moving.

I have been a daily driver since date of purchase. December 2010. Seven days a week. Just very recently, I purchased a Ram 1500 Laramie and now split the two. Sitting at 37K on my 2010 Coupe 3LT. Now that I am driving two vehicles, I do miss my Vette even more! Ha!
