There's a 4th type of Corvette owner that likes to track their vette. BTW, great video and frankly I'm all 4.
Ah, yes!! #4. Track guy. I did forget that category. I definitely know the track guys as well. Great comment. Thanks, Rob! 🙏
@@FrontSeatDriver I am in this category, only reason I bought a C8 was as a track toy, have no brand loyalty to anything in particular just looking for overall performance.
I am “that guy” that enjoys driving the car with my daughter or girlfriend; I am a proud introvert lol. Fun fact for you: the day I met you at Corvette World’s corvettes & coffee meet-up, was my very first corvette meet-up…. It was fun but drained me, lol! Stay safe bro!
lol. Yes sir!
BTW, I am a huge introvert except when I’m working or at Corvette events. Everywhere else I go, I keep to myself.
3
Nice. Just living life and enjoying your Vette. 😎
I am def a mix of all 3 - my '03 is used for driving and commuting and my '65 is for shows
Great cars!! I would like a C5 myself.
I'm a 2+. A 2 plus I love to enter it in judged shows. Make no mistake though, it's not a garage queen. Save the Wave 🙋♂
lol. I know. You definitely get yours out and drive! Happy New Year, Peter!
unfortunately i’m none yet.
Soon!
think my dad is #2
You’re correct!!
Second. Drive and drive fast lol
Uh, yeah. I know. Lol
I'm a #2
Sweet!! Drive and drive fast! 😁
I’m definitely the second one
Nice!!! Thanks for watching and commenting.
I put 10,000 miles on mine this year, it was my daily. When I had the time I showed it a few times and did some touring with it. Honestly the most fun my son and I have is just meeting folks.
That’s awesome. And it was nice meeting you guys at Carlisle.
I drive both my C3 and C5. The C3 is mostly for car shows and the C5 is a daily/weekly driver. I mostly enjoy the Vette community and just hanging out with everyone.
Yep.
I think this may be your first personal appearance in one of my videos, too!
@@FrontSeatDriver It is.
Jason
I am blend between 1 and 2 with my C8 Z06
Good job on this video, lots of beautiful cars
Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Bill! I am in that same group.
My C4, I like driving it. I like hanging out with everybody. I like working on it, and I like helping others solve their issues on various forums. I really like how that even though my car old and not the best looking, everyone is so nice!
I love your C4. And anyone with a C4 should check out your channel if they have any issues with theirs.
I wear the #1 Shirt proudly 😂😂😂
I know you do!! Your car, your choice.
Definitely a 2, leaning more towards driving it although I was President of our Corvette club for 5 years and enjoy the events. Traded in my 2008 3LT convertible with manual transmission for a 2023 3LT HTC performance exhaust, front lift, carbon flash painted top, nacelles, low spoiler, door trim, wheels and other trim pieces with an Arctic White body. Best vehicle this 75 yo has ever driven.
That is awesome!! I have a 23 HTC, painted nacelles and top as well. One thing you did that I regret not doing was the front lift. I had a Lamborghini with a front lift and used it all the time. It was awesome but when I built my C8, I chose to not do it. I regret that decision.
Thanks for watching, John! Enjoy your C8 my friend!! 🙏
When I was teenager we would attend car shows weekly. As I got older the car show scenes has definitely vanished. I’d enjoy driving whenever I can.
That’s too bad. We still have quite a few here in the DFW area.
Love the Orange Vette. 🍊 It was the color I almost switched to.
I don't know if I fit any of those categories, per se, possibly a combination of all three. I'm 72 now and just recently bought a 2015 Z51 with the 3LT package and tha A8 transmission. I've been without a Corvette since my 69 427 roadster (which I ordered and bought new) was stolen. It was a daily driver and I raced it in SCCA A Production until 1976, when SCCA cancelled A Production as a national class. I like driving a responsive car with good handling characteristics and sm really looking forward to unleashing it on some of our twisty roads here in the mountains of Arizona. BTW, I went for the auto primarily because I lost my left leg (below the knee) a few years ago and I don't think I can reliably operate a clutch without having any feeling in my prosthetic leg. I must say, though, the A8 is extremely good in automatic mode, and is very controllable in manual mode.
Wow!! Great story. Sorry your 69 was stolen. 😢 Congrats though on the C7!
I think the combo of all 3 is the best of all worlds!!
I’m a 1/2 guy.
Love being in the community.
Same here Gregory. 🙏
all 3. I drive as a daily driver except stored for winter. We live in the Western NY snow belt.
Love to cruise with our club and with just my wife. Driven several race tracks, tail of the dragon twice and Ohio 555. For our 50th anniversary we did a 7600 mi lap of the country.
Do several car shows and cruise ins each year. We enjoy seeing what others are driving and making new friends.
since Sept 21 I've logged 29,000 miles.
That’s awesome!! You definitely get to enjoy your cars!
I love driving a car that provides feedback and wanted something that was also good on long road trips. My C5 M6 works for me. At some point I may pop into a show to check out the scene, but for now I am definitely Category 3.
I love the C5!
I am on my 10 thru 12 Corvette. I love driving them and going to car shows with friends but mostly to drive them.
Awesome. 🙏
When I get mine I am going to be driving it and going to shows!
Amen to that!!
3 with a lil bit of 2. This vette is a part of my life now. I love it and unless it's snowing, I'm going.
Nice!!
I wear Jean shorts and new balances and make sure to obsessively clean my corvette because my corvette is one of a kind corvette.
I do clean my vette all the time though lol that’s what my neighbors think of me when they see me
😂😂😂
Number 1 and 2 blended!!!!
Same here.
I've owned a 1988 Z51, a 1991 ZR-1, a 2011 Cadillac CTS-V, and now own a 2016 Z06. It's a 3LZ convertible in Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic. I think I'm number 2. I just love to drive my car and get comments and waves. I've never been to a show, corvettes and coffee, or had it on a race track. I am so impressed with the C8s performance, but I just like the looks of the C7 better, and it was more affordable. Haha! Thanks for the video!
Looks like a great time was had by everyone. Great content!
Hi, Lewis! Yes sir. We had a great time!! Thanks for watching and talk to you on Monday!! 🙏
Great video,
I’m combination of 1 & 2.
Thank you, Tom! And same here.
C8Z owner....first Corvette. I'm a Cars & Coffee guy, that will drive it with my wife to the grocery store, or 400 miles to Monterey to watch the Indy races at Laguna Seca as a guest of Mario Andretti. I attended Ron Fellows, and will taking my own Z on the track very soon. Take my 2yo grandkids for rides in it.......literally a switch army knife vehicle for our family to enjoy.
Great job on the video, Jason! Love the fact that you guys are still able to do car meetups! Snow and cold weather here, unfortunately.
Yeah. PA is a beautiful state. Unfortunately there’s snow. Too bad it isn’t just 1 week snow then back to normal.
Just got my 2022 few months ago, not sure which one I am, just like joy riding it around for now.
Nice. Congratulations on the new C8!!
I actually bought my c6 with the intent to join a club, i knew which club i was joining before I bought my vette Special Edition Corvette club Dallas Texas.
Awesome!! I don’t think I’ve heard of them. We’d love to have you guys out at one of our Vette Syndicate events.
Hi Jason
great video.
I drive my Corvette every day except December to February because winter.
I drive to shows and go on trips to Le Mans or Austria and many more.
I love to drive the Vette is so much fun.
Wave from Germany.
Wow!! Germany. That’s awesome!
I definitely can understand not driving in your winters there. I live in Texas in the U.S. I think we are about to get our week of winter next week. 🥶
My husband and I drive our cars. We belong to a club and travel with them, we do charity fundraisers and enjoy the life.
Sweet. That’s awesome. I love that kind of stuff.
1 and 2 for us. C3 is more for the shows. C7 is for cruising! Wish we had more time to drive. Iowa winters wont allow it. But we do average around 7000 miles a year! Keep up the great video's!
Wow!! That’s still quite a few miles! The 78 C3 was my first love.
Sounds like me and you are the same. I’m blend between the first one and the second one. ☮️❤️
Definitely!
Yup am 1 & 2 love shows probably would be numbered 1. Great great video.
Thanks, Danny!! 🙏
I use my C8 HTC for daily driving, go to car shows, & track it. My C6 Vette Convertible had 91k miles on it before I sold it. I want to enjoy my rides.
Nice!! How do you think it performs on the track?
@@FrontSeatDriver I just got it a few weeks ago, and haven’t been out yet. I just got my ZL1 tow hooks, but I have to add the two liters of DCT, and I’ve got an Attack Blue air filter coming so I can do that at the same time I’ve got the trunk torn apart. Chevy didn’t make that normal maintenance very easy, did they?
Looks like a great time, I'm in Michigan, so my car in put away for the winter. I am open to anything with my C7. I haven't done a whole lot of cruising lately, but looking at this video, looks like fun, planning on doing more!
Amen to that. Hopefully winter is short!
And sometimes a #1
Yup. I love the car shows. Great camaraderie.
Both #1 and #2. I keep my C7 M7 in pristine condition, but she’s no garage queen with 35k miles. Last front engine, long hood rear wheel Corvette. Gorgeous styling, a keeper!
Agreed. I have a C7 M7 as well. Absolutely love it!! 🙏
I’d say I’m a blend of 3 and 2. Used to be more involved with car meets in the past. I daily my C8. Definitely want to hit up a Corvette meet one day in the DFW area.
Yes!! That’d be awesome. Let me know when you’re in the area.
@@FrontSeatDriverI’m in Allen actually, relatively new Vett owner and I just don’t know when or where these meets pop up lol!
@@khoupernikkus6967 We have one next weekend at Corvette World. 9-11 am. It’s the 2nd Saturday of each month. It’ll probably slow down this winter with the car shows. Me and Steve had some Vette Syndicate Corvette shows last summer. Had over 200 Vettes at 2 of them. I think we had 154 of them at the first one.
@@FrontSeatDriver Awesome, thanks for the heads-up, adding to my calendar! Always been wanting to swing by Corvette World, now I have a reason! Looking to add a C7 Z06 from them once our car port is built!
man im #2 i want to drive with people or just drive myself. i love driving the thing. c8 baby!
Nice!! 👍
Im all 3 (1,2 and part of 3). No plans on trading it in... its a daily driving unless it snows more than half an inch. Otherwise, rain or shine, im driving it. I do cruises and car meets. Fantastic and multi- faceted car!
You’re definitely all 3!! Hope you’re having a good week Tony!
@@FrontSeatDriver Thanks Jas! Happy New Year to you! See you in Carlisle or maybe at an HPO car meet somewhere soon!
Definitely in group 2 , as a retired military… it’s what I can afford during the summer in our Red 1986 C4 Convertible , just hit the back roads and curves heading for a coffee, ice cream or coney dog…. Btw in Illinois the back roads are in better shape then the hiways…
I’m a number 2
Nice!! We can’t take the cars with us. Might as well enjoy them.
I am a proud member of the third group.
Nothing wrong with that. 😎
#3 myself, never really a corvette fan but the c8 platform rwd/mid engine for the price was a no brainer.its now 1 out off 3 summer drivers and i do track it and mod it.
Nice!!
I actually forgot the “track guy” in my 3 types of owners. So I really should have said 4.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I'm a blend of category 2 & 3. Drive it for to work and enjoy it on the back roads, but don't put too many miles on it. Had it since 4/2021 and 9500 miles on it.
That’s not bad. I think you may drive yours slightly more than I have driven mine. By the year that is. I’m only at 3400 or so miles.
@@FrontSeatDriver I only put 2000 miles on it last year. I've been thinking of selling it for 1 reasons, Missouri Property tax. Last your it was $2000. That crap gets kinda old real fast.....
@@thegooddoctor6719 $2,000 for your homeowner property tax or the Corvette?
@@FrontSeatDriverThe Corvette, not the home...
Sheesh that dork behind you in the Silver Z06 waving making faces. Ugh! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I’m 1&2, but try my best to avoid driving anytime in rain and garage it once the Snow comes to PA and keep it there until the anti skid and little stones PENN DOT puts down are cleaned off the roads in the Spring. 🥴
I’m 69 and in poor health so I can’t detail a car like I used to. 😂
I can understand that. I don’t drive in bad weather. If I can help it. I like to drive but I HATE to clean. Lol
I'm in the fourth group. I spend time waiting for failed transmissions to be replaced at my dealership.
lol. That sucks. I’m sorry.
@@FrontSeatDriver Thanks! It's no problem- I am saving gas money.
Mostly Group 2. I love the Corvette community, the car just brings people together. I enjoy going to shows sponsored by my Corvette Club (and other clubs) but I often mark my car as "Do Not Judge". It's a pretty much stock C8 Z51 Coupe which I take good care of but it is not and never will be a garage queen, I bought it to drive it. Leave the trophies to the folks who go all out keeping their car mint. I appreciate what they do but that's not me. The Corvette community is amazing, you gotta love them all !
Agreed. I don’t ever enter any car shows. I just bring mine and hang out. It’s never clean enough to win. lol. Plus, I want to drive and it definitely gets dirty. Lol
I,m 72 and had a lot of corvettes growing up and found their are 3 tips of owners ...1- the ones how baby their cars- washing waxing and putting them back in the garage. 2-the who run the s@#* out of them. 3 - the everyday driver
Yup!!!👍 Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙏
I’m definitely 1-2 I would drive it more if I wasn’t in my work truck 5 days a week.
At 40’yr old bought my first Vette. 2015 Z06
44,yr old 2019 ZR1
47 yr old 2021 C8 pro charged
49 2023 C8Z06
Unfortunately I only can keep one at a time.
I’m a number 1 I love my Carbon 65 but I don’t wanna rack up the miles but I do take it to car shows
I’m with you on that. I like to be somewhere in between 1 and 2. But yeah, I don’t want to rack up a ton of miles either.
I purchased my 2019 Grand Sport for the track. Everything else is gravy. Every mod is to take tenths off lap time.
I'm a blend of 1 and 2.
That’s me as well.
Hello to everyone, when I watch these videos, I kind of wish that I lived in Texas. You guys do a lot more with your cars than they seem to do here in Florida unless I’m not quite in the circle, that being said , to answer your question , I am definitely in that number one category, with a little bit of category, number two when it comes to Things that I do with my 2019 Grandsport which only has 4800 miles on it !
PS. It’s a beautiful car !
Yes!! I love the GS. I had one as well. 2017 GS CE.
If you ever get out to DFW, let me know!
Yes I forgot to say great video, Don't forget about Pink Floyd Mr. ACDC LOL
🙌
Group 1 drive and hang out at corvette car shows.
💪
I drive my Corvette very hard. I live in the mountains of northern California. I feel it's a track car and I enjoy pushing it's limits. I think if you own a sportscar you should use it as it was designed for. I have my third set of tires under the house waiting to be put on. My 2021 C8Z51 will not be saved for the next guy. Life is to short . Just turned 30k enjoying every mile.
Tom
That’s awesome!! I would love to do a run through the mountains up in NorCal.
I’m a blend of 2 and 3 I like the car shows but I’m going to drive the wheels off of it. When I had my 2005 I hardly drove it, kept it immaculate. Sold it for a good price but really miss it. When I purchase my 2019 GS it will be on the road all of the time.
Nice!!! I love the C7 GS.
Great content Jason! So many great cars in this video. My wife loved the pink vette…go figure 😂
I can’t wait to get my C8 Z06 so I can cruise with you guys! Keep the vids coming!!
Yes!!! We can’t wait either. That will be awesome!
And yeah, oddly enough, my wife loved that one too. 😁
I'm #1 hands down
Nice!! 🙏
@@FrontSeatDriver I own 2 rare color C5 Convertibles.. 2001 Metallic Silver Torch Red Interior with a WHITE TOP. Currently 34K miles
2002 Speedway White Torch Red interior w a White top with 59k miles. 👍👍
@@KA-te7xk Awesome. I don’t think I’ve even seen those before.
I am a car shows and cruise nite . Kinda guy I like Classic car shows My car is a nice 1975 convertible
I miss hanging out with you guys
Dude. We miss you too. Gotta get back out with us soon! Going to do a grand opening at Corvette Warehouse soon.
im the guy who loves to drive my C8 which i won.. but would like to go to meets and drive in groups but dont have the time to do the meetings or group drives because of wifes health issues
I am really sorry to hear about your wife’s health issues. I hope she gets better soon, Micah.
How did you win your C8? And congratulations, by the way!
@@FrontSeatDriver Won it at Choctaw Casino in Grant Oklahoma
Def #2!
Nice!!
I’m a combo of 1/2
Same here Bruno.
@@FrontSeatDriver yep, but now, living on the east coast in NJ, my 2 girls have been put away for the season, mentioned on yesterday’s show that we’re expecting a few inches of snow this weekend, just friggin great 🤬
I'd like to do all 3
So cool , america should make the dodge viper a mid engine just like the corvette
Dodge is going all electric so it’s unlikely.
I’m a blend A+B owner of a c5 coupe, would love to own a early edition c7 their too expensive damm shame 😩
C7 is definitely my favorite. I do love a nice C5 though.
5:33 🤘
All beautiful. I'm currently searching for a C7 but am unsure of credibility of articles that state, stay away from 15/16/17 models. Is there any truth to this? Also, mine will be a weekend girl on sunny days only. Great video!
Thank you!!
If you’re buying a Z06, I’d purchase 2017 or newer. If you’re doing a Stingray or GS 2016 or newer is good in my opinion. I don’t really know of any issues with those 2. But as of 2016 you could get front cameras with the 2LT. The Z06 had cooling issues but was corrected for the 2017 model which I have. I love it.
C7 are the best corvettes
I’m 1&2 ….when I can get the time 😅
Same and I definitely hear that. Work had slowed down so it’s not quite as hard to get to events anymore.
11:40 🤘
All three but I'd like to join the fourth Club I did go to Ron Fellows track training when I bought my C8 and would like to join the fourth group the track guys more often
That’s awesome. Ron Fellows is a great experience. My wife went and drove with me as well. If I wouldn’t have let her go, she’d have divorced me. 🤣 Her choice would be to track the car and the heck with everything else.
Hey dude
Hey!!👋
Hi Jason, I’m still trying to figure out how to know this meeting so I can go, I’m here in Frisco and what to know how can I know when and where these are in the DFW area,
that looked really cool.
Thanks
Email me your phone number. We have a “GroupMe” app that we post in. You would need to download the app.
Frontseatdriverytube@gmail.com
@@FrontSeatDriver will do. Thank you Jason and looking forward in meeting you in person 😊
I am category number 4. I take my car to the track
Nice!! 🙌 Always a great time.
You forgot one group. The corvette didn’t exist until the C8 now all I think about is the C8..
lol. Nice!!
Probably a blend between 1 and 2. Don't care for the "shows" so much as showing it off with other members of a group, driving it and protecting it. Definitely not a drive it into the ground, everyday-type driver. 2023 Arctic White 2LT Coupe with Red interior.
Nice!!! Great color combo.
I’m with you. I do the car shows but not the car “shows.”
I’m #2 but would like to be more #1.
Yeah. The car events are a lot of fun. I do enjoy the drives though as well.
its pretty much to the track and to the garage to work on it these days
Nice. I need a track day soon.
@@FrontSeatDriver NASA is doing an hpde weekend in April 5-7 at eagles canyon raceway. Will be my first time there, place looks amazing.
I'm the 3rd
I daily my corvette I don’t care about the miles. I wanna enjoy my car to the fullest. I go to car shows but I’m low key, I don’t like showing off my car.

#3
Borla atak sounds better than corsa imo
Yeah, for me the Borla is too loud. And that’s saying a lot because I love loud.
I'm all 3 LOL
Nice, Willie!!!
The music during the cruise gave 1980 vibes. 😂🤢
Sorry but I love the 80’s. 70’s as well. Thats why it gave you those vibes. 😁
BTW, what kind of music do you listen to?
👍👍👍😎
Black wheel suck.I have two with chrome wheels
Everyone has their own opinions on that. I’m about to make some changes on my C8 wheels tomorrow. Brand new set already here. Hint: They’re not black.
@FrontSeatDriver good for you. old men like chrome kids like black which one are you??
I currently have 137k miles on my C7 grand sport. Every time I go out for a drive, I hit over 100mph. Mostly mountain driving. No stupid car meets with other corvette owners who will never drive the car for what it is designed for. You guys are an embarrassment to Corvettes. Only bought corvettes for show. Not a real driver. Especially the nursing home smelly old guys.
Everyone has the right to choose what they do with their car. Same as you. You don’t need to agree. I definitely don’t agree with everything people do with their Vettes but that’s their business.
Why are corvette drivers always old🤣
They aren’t ALWAYS old. But I don’t personally think it matters as long as they’re cool.
Obviously you don't have a family lol or you would know the answer.. For me it was a house, 3 daughters, Paid for 3 kids to go to College and Three weddings LOL! We've made the best of it as we're now on our 5th corvette and yes it's a C8.
