On with  Bob on this one. 

Having been involved with a local Corvette club (Surf  Corvette Club) back 
in the 60's, it was fun. Guys used their cars all the  time. Sadly over the 
years the cars have become so valuable that most owners  only use their cars 
to go to shows. The daily driver Corvette is a rarity on  the street unless 
it is only a year or two old. Once the cars get a few years  on them, they 
get treated in a way that I'll bet Duntov would cry over. The  car was 
designed to be used and driven.

Okay - My Vette is only 5 years old, but, at 40,000 miles, I have  been 
autocrossing it the whole time, and driving it to work almost every day.  Last 
Sunday, between rain drops, I ran it at the Ft. Ord / Marina Airport  Boxing 
Day Autocross. A couple of guys asked me when I was bringing out the  
Corvair again. Now, if you are talking 50s or 60s vettes, I understand. Mostly  
cause they are crappy cars to drive every day on the street, unless your 
commute  includes Woodward Avenue.
