Wife currently has C5Z06 daily driver.
Before that, she had a '95 daily driver.
Before that, she had a '62 daily driver... well...when she was a teenager
So I guess #1 !

). Even she did not realize she would love driving the c7 so much. She never cared much about my previous cars, which included a c4, mustang GT, nsx, viper, sl500.

1 & 3 - She prefers to drive her SUV when out on her own, prefers I drive one of our vetoes when we're out together, and loves to share driving time in the vette when we're on long road trips.

I have some friends that are his and hers owners. They each have a C2, his a 427 4-speed and hers being a 327 automatic. They both did have his and hers C6's, his a ZR1 and hers a GS Callaway convertible with the 606 HP supercharged engine.
But, he very seldom drove the ZR1 so he traded it in on a new Silverado for the farm.

Wifey likes the Corvette and all. But she won't drive it.
The ZR-1 is a 6 speed, and she won't drive it. We used to have an auto 96; she'd drive that one.
If I get a manual Stingray, wifey says she won't be driving.
Looks like she won't be driving.. Hehe.

I have my C7 for 7 months and she has not been in it. LOL
Only because when we travel we always take Lexi
A funny story
My wife always drove my vettes. Back in 1981 she was driving my C3 and a guy was trying to flirt with her at a stop light, my wife drove off and pulled into the mall parking lot. My wife gets out of vette, the guy sees her and high tailed it out of there. She was 8 months pregnant and my 2 year old son was in the other seat that he could not see at the traffic light. I guess he didn't want an instant family with that C3... LOL

Number 2. My wife has driven a manual her whole life and enjoys sports cars. However she is a bit reserved with our C7 to date for two reasons.
First, she wants to let me enjoy it since I had two other Corvettes in my twenties. I had a C2 and a C3.
Second, the C7 is a lot of sports car and she is slowly getting aqainted with it.
And last, the winter has been brutal and our baby has been in hibernation here in New Jersey . This past weekend allowed us to take it out for a couple of days. Hopefully spring takes root soon.
