What is Your C5 Corvette's Primary Role as An Automobile?

[Rob]

Is it a daily driver, a weekend cruiser, good weather only driver? Let's hear it!

 

[01TriBlack]

Daily driver when it's not stored for the winter, or unless it's raining. They're cars! Drive 'em!! Vroom, vroom!

The 03 AE is my wife's car. It is her 'daily driver' but she works at home so it doesn't get driven that much. We're taking it to the Big Bend Open Road Race next month to 'race' it in the 110 class. So, that's the way I voted.

Mine is a daily driver since it is the only car I own.

Mine is a daily driver since it is the only car I own.

Me too. I have driven it when I should not have. Corvettes and snow are a poor combination.

I like to take mine to the drag strip 5-8 times each summer. I also do 1-2 autocrosses (just enough to suck at it).

I drive my C5 every day whether rain, shine or whatever from when I take it out of Winter storage to when I put it away the day before the first snow.

The only time it's parked is when I absolutely have to use the truck or if I'm using the '68. The '70 Corvette is the "good weather only" one.

To work and back every day - it's the only thing that makes battling my way to work and back through the tons of traffic bearable day after day!

 

[FirstVette]

I take it work in good weather only and not during the winter at all. Of course I shamefully take 2-4 parking spaces. But hey, it's not a crowded parking lot.

Our C5 is our extra car.We have few cars in the house hold. The only drivers in the home for the next 6 years are me and my wife we have 2 children.The car was meant for her to use (vanity plate says ITS4HER) but with 2 kids she doesnt use it that often because useally the kids are with her.Plus she complains it not a nice ride and its too low to the ground for her to see good.

She does follow me to car cruises in it when we have the time.

I need a truck for work so I cant use it as a dailey driver myself.But I will get in it and go anytime I can regaurdless of the weather.

We are short on garage space so unfortunatly for now I have to move a few things from behind it so I also dont use it as much as I should.

In my next life I will make sure I have a career that does not need a truck as dailey transportation And for sure I will drive a vette back and fourth to work

I have two vehicles, both are Corvettes. The Grand Sport convertible is the garage queen, for being a limited production model and it can't carry squat (believe, I've tried putting squat in it ). I kid people and say my red coupe is my "beater".

Living up here in New England I keep it off the road from late October to early April. Even during the summer it's purely a weekend driver and only if the weather is right (a real garage queen).

Remo:cool

 

[Blade]

Drive her everyday, over 21,000 miles in 15 months!

 

[Gorgon]

Our C5 is my wife's daily driver.

 

[Ed02]

Since I work from home, it has become a "weekend cruiser". But I have been known to make excuses to go to the store on weekdays!!!! We also use it on most road trips.

 

[missmoneypenny]

I mainly "stunt" in mine.

And I don't mean stunt driving...

I mainly "stunt" in mine.

And I don't mean stunt driving...

"I'll teach you how to stunt"
Stunt 101
But I stunt daily.

 

[anniv88]

It's my vacation car. We take it when we travel, except for skiing in the winter.

 

[GKrenn]

The vette is my daily driver. 35 miles (one way) of nice back country two lane to drive on in Tennessee to work. The vettes MPG beats the 16 MPG I get out of my Dakota R/T (360 cid). Plus, the vette is too much of a daily adrenaline blast to pass up. All the cars I've owned in the past have had high highway miles and ran great for the mileage.

 

[c5vetter]

Drive the 2001 Z06 when I feel like it, lately not much with the crappy weather in Maryland - never drive it to work as I work at a G'vmit agency and we all know how they park

 

[Dave1998]

I just bought my 98 in November on ebay with 13,000 miles. Apparently it has a history for staying in the garage. Since it started snowing here in PA in early December, its been in the garage. I will take it out on weekends, as I have another car I use every day for work. Dave
