New to Forum but not to Vettes
Hello all. I just joined the Forum after lurking as a guest. I've had several Corvettes over the years but have been without one for 2 years. I am picking up a new Grand Sport tomorrow. I've never driven one daily but I think I'm going to try with this one. Anyone else use their Grand Sport as a daily driver?
I've always kept them in the garage and just used them on nice days, I'm wondering why I've done this. They are too nice to not drive, but the thought of driving one in the rain freaks me out a little too. I guess I will get over that after a while.
Great forum here, glad to be a part of it.

Welcome to the forum, Bigfoot, and congratulations on your upcoming GS!
You may want to ask your question on the C7 section of the forum. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c7-corvette-141/
You'll probably get a mixed bag of answers about how they drive theirs.
I'm retired now so don't have to get out too much in weather not of my choosing, but have used other generation Vettes for daily drivers for years.
Please post some pics once you pick up your ride!
