To drive or not to drive!!!!!!!!
I was just wondering. How many of you drive your Vettes on a daily bases. My coworkers harass me and another guy about driving our Vette's everyday. They say they are garage queens and were not made for daily driving. Does that mean that you can't drive a BMW or a Porsche everyday?

Drive mine every day! So much more fun than my Aramada. After she's painted, I don't think I'll drive in the rain though.

Yup I didn't lock the doors last night and it started right up. I went to the GMC place to get my door lock switches and he comes out with the wiring harness. Lets see I don't think switch and harness rhyme. I have to wait for 3 to 4 weeks for the switches. I also got a new key made as well. It did seem just a little more solid going into the tumbler.

Those power door lock switches won't have anything to do with the car starting!!! Just locking and unlocking the doors!!! The switches on the back of the doors and one on the hatch only Control the Dome lights and Audible part of the alarm!!(When the lights go out Locked the alarm gets set!!)And then there is a switch on the left and right door tumblers that turn the Audible alarm on or off if you Lock it or unlock with a key!!! PS If it Keeps starting,it was the worn Key!!!!(Wright down the resistance and keep it somewhere not in the Car,it may come in Handy some day!!)

Thanks Junkie, I will write it down. when I had the key made he put it in some machine and it said my key was a .Was that the resistance or are you referring to when I stick the key in and use a volt ohm meter?

I have used the 'vette as a DD but with gas prices where they are I prefer to use my other car ('07 Aveo) so I can pay for regular instead of premium.
