Default How often do you drive your Z06?

I have a 2016 Z06 and I drive it about once a month, usually on Saturdays.

All the time. Nearly 13,000 miles in 11 months. Has replaced our other 3 cars as our daily driver. Except for when it snows, the car goes out. But I've driven it in snow and ice and it was actually not awful. The "W" setting allowed me to go up our inclined driveway when it was covered with a slight layer of snow and ice. I was pleasantly surprised. These cars will not go up in value, so drive the car.

Purchased in July, 2015 CRT with 2900 miles. I take it whenever I can. It is driven every week for local driving, and monthly to second home 4 hours away. This is my first Corvette and I have to say this car has exceeded my expectations. Love it.

Not as much as I'd like due to work and the weather.

I won't take it out in the rain, and temps below 60* are not that fun due to limited traction.

So, I mostly drive it on the weekends and occasional cruises after work on the weekdays.

Everyday. 2000 miles in 2 months. I find myself making up errands just to have an excuse to go out and drive it. I should also admit that I sometimes just stand there in the garage looking at it for a good 10 minutes before walking into the house.

To the track and back, the track, and when friends come to visit cause they want to get a feel for the performance. But I almost never drive her just for the heck of it on a nice day. After tracking the first time I now find street driving her almost completely unrewarding. I'm simply unable/unwilling to feel any of the true awesomeness of the car on public roads. I'm not upset about it, it's just that after screaming at 150mph and pulling 1.5g there's just very little for me to get excited about on public roads. So she's mostly rests tween track days.

Once a month???? Whats the point of buying it a car if you drive it once a month? You would be better off renting it lol. If i had a LA Ferrari i would drive it more then once a month.

Weekends, saturday and sunday I take it out for 100 miles each day. Just cant get enough. Makes me look forward to weekends. I find myself excited when I wake up and it's nice out.

Gonna be sad this winter when it sits though...
