I turned 50 seven months ago. I’ve had two Corvettes and plan to get another. In no way shape or form will I ever own a garage queen. My vettes were meant to be driven and I daily drove both of mine (from April to November depending on the weather) and best believe I will daily drive my next one. Buying a car like a Corvette and just parking it in the garage is utterly pointless to me! Drive it like you stole it!
I am 75 years old, 6’1” tall and weigh 218 pounds. I have been driving for 63+ years. Our Arctic White 2023 3LT HTC non Z51 with performance exhaust, front lift, magnetic ride, red/black interior, carbon flash painted nacelles, top, low spoiler, door trim, and other trim pieces is the best vehicle I have ever driven. We drove it for 2 1/2 months and put over 2,200 miles on it before parking it for the winter. Both of the Vettes we have owned have been on salt free diets and Northern Illinois uses a lot of salt. We will never track it, although it is capable of handling much better than I want to push it.
I daily drive my 2020corvette z51 in the new york tri state area. Ive daily driven all my new corvettes iver the past 20 years and quarter of a million miles on them. Great daily driver. Snow rain and sunny weather no problem. Ill be 6 feet under and all my corvettes used as daily drivers will be all shiny and run great Never let anything you own.......own you. Use it.
I just got my '24 C8. I'm approaching 78 years old. I was saving my money and I said what the heck. I found a decent deal on a Basic no options Torch Red 1Lt for a few thousand dollars below MSRP so I bought it. When I look in my Garage, I can't believe how cool it looks !!! I bought it out of state so I racked up a lot of miles in the first month. Got a little over 2,400 miles in 2 months. Now I take it out for local driving about once or twice a week. All year driving here in Daytona Beach. I'm attending the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School too !! Oh, I'm also a do-it-yoursefer. All work & Maintenance will be done by me. I've installed a front Splitter, a rear Spoiler and a 2M Performance Exhaust System. Looks good and Sounds soo good !!!
Hey you do a great job with your channel! I "should" be taking delivery of my 2023 2LT Z51 Corvette in Hypersonic Gray in about 10 weeks. Super stoked, I'm just in Logan, keep me updated on any car shows you know of. realllllly excited to see my car arrive before I have to garage it for the winter.
That is awesome!!! Congratulations on the car! It’s seriously an amazing design and overall much worth the wait and price! I really appreciate the comment and support💯 subscribe for some more great content! In September they have peach days in Brigham city that is usually a really good turn out! I’m hoping to make it to that one. I believe it’s September 10th! Thanks again!!
@@801lyfe6 Ya I usually end up having to work Peach Days, but then again it usually ends up Raining. I heard Garage Grill is doing their Toy Drive in early October this year. That car show was awesome last year.
I like and love the look and perf of the corvette. However while i can purchase and drive what i want up to 100k i guess. I bought a 2018 Esclade lux instead. Yes now AN ESCALADE is a daily driver. My coworker has the stingray and does not like driving it everyday and constantly ask me jokingly i guess to swith me for my 2016 atsv coupe....ahh Nope! Its just sots really really low to the ground.
I got 24 k on mine currently. Just got my first check light engine. Transmission code. Also getting the drop top fixed it locked up. My c8 also stalled on me 2x. Warranty still good so im not tripping!!
Big jump between Do NOT daily and can you daily drive it...I like your channel but I hate click bait titles. Without this misleading title, this would have been a great video. Just my opinion, YMMV.
@@r12rtpilot I will see what I can do! Thank you so much for the support💯 Hopefully I can reach a lot more people who enjoy this content and keep bringing you guys the highest quality content I can!
I sold my 2018 mustang GT with 23,600 miles with a few mods for 30K and made a profit of $7,618 after the lien was payed off so I used the money as a downpayment on a 2022 Corvette Stingray 1LT and even though I Love the car it doesnt have NPP valves so it only goes up to Sport mode in the exhaust settings so I'm going to add a Corsa 3.0 catback with AFM valves and make this Car loud enough to hear when I'm driving it and I only drive my Vette to the grocery store which is only 4 miles away and my daily is a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 limited slt so I think I am set up ok. ;) Mark~
You seem like a fun guy, and that comes across on your video. If you’re worried about mileage, and paying for premium gas then you shouldn’t buy a Vette. Still, it’s pretty good mileage for a car that can get near 200mph. I put 91k miles on my C6, and I will rack up some fun and daily driving miles on my new C8 too. When you get to Heaven are you going to say “I’m so glad I didn’t put too many miles on that C8”. I think not…
I agree completely. Luckily we have a manufacturer warranty that covers everything for the first 3 years. I bought an extended warranty just to be safe, hopefully I don’t experience any problems with mine! Thank you for the comment and support💯
I'm 70 years old and probably got 10 years to live. I'm driving that mother all the time. 😀👍
Absolutely!! Enjoy it and have tons of fun while you can! Have a great day!!😃
fkn right !!!
Yeah... ditto what he said, except I'm only 66

@@dk4evr this is completely reasonable! I love to hear it! What corvette do you plan on getting next?
Homie just out here living his most restricted life 🙏
🤣🤣🤣 this got me
Corvettes have always been a car you can daily drive all year long.....

That’s a valid statement! Appreciate the comment💯
that vette deserves a better garage

Awesome! I will have to check that one out if I have time.
Did you get it already?
@@gregorysimao7468 Oh yeah! Took delivery early November. Best thing ever!
If you can’t afford the gas to daily drive, then you definitely can’t afford the car.
Oh I can afford to daily drive, but I don’t think it’s smart to daily drive an $80,000 vehicle

Warranty is a must!
It’s smiles per gallon. I got a Challenger Hellcat & my c8 will be here in 5 months, I will be driving them equally
I LOVE that! Smiles per gallon
Im 22 and mine is ready in july cant wait and lucky i bought a 2018 jeep grand Cherokee when i was 17 i can daily that
AYYY very nice!

Thank you for the input I appreciate it!
@@801lyfe6 I really like this channel! Will you make a video of a long ride, say 1000 miles? Keep up the good work.
@@r12rtpilot I will see what I can do! Thank you so much for the support💯 Hopefully I can reach a lot more people who enjoy this content and keep bringing you guys the highest quality content I can!
I work at a Chevy dealership in Ohio. My dream car is the Corvette. I will have one one day
dose your owner's manual say you can run 91 in the c8?
Yep it’s all we have in Utah

That sounds like a great set up! Thank you for leaving a comment!
As long as you do upkeep and do your own maintenance you can daily no problem.
My buddy has over 150,000 miles on his 2020 C8.
That’s awesome
Really 😂
Yes really.
You can daily drive whatever you want. If you can’t afford the car don’t buy it. It’s a sports car; it’s meant to be driven.
If you worry about the gas milage you didnt buy the right car

By God you better not have anything go wrong in 20k miles that's downright atrocious that this is even a thought
I agree completely. Luckily we have a manufacturer warranty that covers everything for the first 3 years. I bought an extended warranty just to be safe, hopefully I don’t experience any problems with mine! Thank you for the comment and support💯
Drive it daily! That’s why you bought it.
Nice video man
Thank you bro! I appreciate the support! Stay tuned for more videos, have some great stuff coming soon!
I can daily drive this
That’s awesome!!
👏
Thanks bro!
Buy C8...complain about gas prices? I'm so confused.
Nice!!
💯
way too much talk. Nice car tho, would have love to see that more
More videos coming soon!
I wouldn’t daily drive
Gotta keep it nice
I agree with you
I have 4 cars, I’m 6’3 280 and i daily my c8 that’s slammed on coil overs. Life is short
Click bait bullshit.
👍 thanks for the comment pal
Not a daily driver 👍
I’d agree
