Drive mine daily year round in western CO unless there's snow or ice on the roads. It's depreciating whether it's sitting in the garage or being driven every day. I'm not taking care of it or saving it for the next owner, I'm enjoying it as much as possible.
2016 Z, about 800 miles per month, driven almost every day except winter because of tires. Hope Michelin keeps their promise & come out with a All Season tire for the Z soon.
I'm retired so no daily drive to the job or airport. My wife is disabled and can not get in the Corvette, so when we drive someplace we have to take another car. When I go somewhere on my volunteer church work, I'm hauling dirty old bicycles, not the type of work a Corvette does.
It's sad, I just don't drive the Corvette very much, especially this year. I'm determined to change that.
My 2017 Z06 delivered October 2016 with my alternate wheels on it 6400 miles.....I understand both sides of the issue so here's to owning a Corvette and enjoying it however you might choose.
I have another car (Honda Fit) and my wife's Honda Odyssey, but I find myself driving the Corvette a lot more than the Fit during the summer. I should hit about 5-6K miles on the car in the course of a year.
Bought my '14 Z51 coupe used 20 months ago to be my daily driver. Have put 30k miles on it commuting.
OTOH, I am the original/only owner of my '02 C5 coupe. Took delivery Oct. 29, 2001. It has ~7700 miles on it so less than 500 miles/year on that one. Of course, it's currently in surgery for some serious upgrades. It has always been and always will be a GQ and a toy.

That's a Gorgeous Z! I'm not typically a big red car fan (I know some consider that sacrilege in the Vette world), but that one has me rethinking that stance!

I go weeks where I'll drive it every day without fail. Then I get bored of it, wash it, wax it, shine it, and park it in the garage for a few weeks. Rinse and repeat. I think I just get bored of driving the same car after 4-5 weeks, makes winter tough when I have to drive the ST all the time...
Okay 2 months owned 361 miles but I drive it everyday when its not raining! My alarm goes off if I leave Plymouth, Massachusetts.GARAGE QUEEN but slightly used daily.
A year and 3 months and 19,100 miles. About to take a good road trip up to the Museum and the Tail of the Dragon so that'll bump it up a good bit more!!
