7th Annual �Drive Your Corvette To Work Day�
Friday, June 29th, is the date of the 7th Annual �Drive Your Corvette To Work Day� sponsored by Mid America Motorworks. In honor of �Drive Your Corvette To Work Day�, enthusiasts across the United States make " America's Sports Car" their commuter car for the day. Launched in 2001, Mid America Motorworks' Drive Your Corvette To Work Day is an annual event celebrated by thousands of Corvette owners.
"We understand why many owners consider their Corvette to be a special car and only drive it occasionally," said Mike Yager, founder and "Chief Cheerleader" of Mid America Motorworks. "But we think driving your Corvette to work, at least one day a year, is an excellent way to demonstrate just how popular Corvettes are. And it is a chance for Corvette owners to meet other new Corvette owners." Corvette owners who observe "Drive Your Corvette To Work Day" are encouraged to send high resolution digital pictures of their car at work to clubs@mamotorworks.com.
