Default C6 Corvette satisfaction

I am posting this comment to say that Chevrolet did a fantastic job designing/building the C6 Corvette. I just came back from a ride through my local park & had a smile on my face the entire time, I still enjoy driving my car! This is a thumbs up post which is usually different from the posts we normally read about the various problems associated with our cars, thank you Chevrolet

I work too much and seldom get to drive mine. But when I do, I thoroughly enjoy every second.

That is why mine is my daily driver! Life is too short to drive something else . . .

I never understand people getting awesome cars and not driving them. Saving the miles for the next owner? Sunday drivers only? WTF? I can see if you are a race track enthusiast and your car is modified to the extent that you can't drive it on the street, but then you can have a second Corvette with less mods to drive every day. I've daily drive Corvettes for a very long time and cannot see me driving anything else. I experimented with a Viper (1st generation)once, as much fun as it was I couldn't make it my dd so went back to a Corvette. It is like having a hot wife/girlfriend and not _____ her . . . I don't get it. I can understand having 2, one for Monday-Friday and another one for the weekends but if I can have only one, I am driving the sh_t out of it!

I daily drive my C6 as much as the weather will allow, unfortunately living in MD, that could mean 1 year I drive it 7-8 months out of the year if we have a bad late fall and winter or it could mean it gets driven closer to 10 months out of the year if we get a mild, snow free winter
