EDIT: who's = whose (its been a long day)

Just curious. The vette is my only car so if i have to go somewhere i have to take it. Ill take the bus if im going somewhere thats unsafe to park the car.

Mine used to be my daily driver until the end of May when I broke down and got a "work" car. Now, the vette is a weekend driver. My '92 was a driver, had over 150k on it when I sold it. Didn't want to do that with the '04. I miss the daily drive but going 40 miles back and forth to work at 30-35mph doesn't do the vette any favors either. The pictures of your vette were great!

About the bus trips.... If you're going into places you wouldn't drive the vette, then maybe the bus ride's not a good idea either...??

(This is the mother in me talking now.)

well its not that the place is a bad neighborhood, its just i dont like leaving my car unattended and out of sight for an extended period of time in an area its vulnerable to damage. I asked this question because i drive my car everywhere. It seems that most people who own a vette in this city only drive them on the "high holidays"

thats no way to treat such a beautiful car...

I got your drift.

Good thinking. I agree, mine doesn't get parked in places like that either.

Adam, my Vette is my daily driver. I drive it everywhere I go. I try not to go anyplace where it might get damaged, but you never now. Even I've damaged it once by parking next to a curb then forgetting about it. Ran the undercarriage over the curb. $400 in damage. In my defense, I was pretty sick that day.

I just noticed on another thread that your a Red Sox fan. You and Nytro. I see we'll get a long great.

Especially after the Boston Massacre II this weekend. Sorry, NY all the way.

Been a Yankee fan all the way, don't hold it against me.

I honestly don't think there will be two teams from the AL East. I think it's gonna end up being either Minnesota or Chicago. All I know is, I hate playing the Red Sox. Big Papi should win the MVP this year IMO. Jeter should be second, but you won't hear me complain if he wins it!

All my Vette's for the past 50 years have been daily drivers and my current Z06 is my only car so it goes everywhere everyday. They are made to drive and parts can always be replaced. Too much fun to leave in the garage!!

My Z06 is my daily driver. I wouldn't have it any other way. I didn't buy it to park it in the garage and look at it on weekends. I enjoy it as much as I can. It is not my "only" car though, but is the car I drive every day.
