Who uses their C3 as a daily driver? I will be driving mine 365/year. Just curious if anyone else does. Tom

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
When I get my 82 CE on the road I plan on driving it most of the time. So Cal and there is no better place to have the top off most of the time. Currently My insurance is not for that. But that is Ok while I restoring the car.

My C4 is a daily driver now, and I am just finishing a '78 that will be driven most days.

I try to drive my car as much as possible, but my insurance limits me to 2500 miles a year.
Since I work from home I go around the block and back

I definitely can't drive mine every day.
I do try to get it out at least once a week.
It's got to be better for the car to be driven at least frequently when the weather man allows.

I think the Blacray has seen it's share of time as a daily driver in a previous life. I think now it is in more of a retirement home setting.....

I give equal time to the C3 & C6, in the summer with over 100 deg. the C6 is much cooler.
