It's not that I don't want to drive it during the week and keep it as a weekend warrior...

It's that parking at work sucks in the parking garage, and the traffic to and from work is impossible to enjoy the driving experience. My truck handles the door dings better from irresponsible nurses at my hospital (work) anyway.

So weekend warrior it remains.

Door dings and scratches can be fixed, but damn they tick me off of my ZL1.

WW for me. I also have 4 vehicles and a Harley to choose from. I don't take the Z anywhere that I have to leave it unattended. Too many haters!

DD in the summer months, stored for the winter. 3 years and 25,000 miles.

My current 13' convertible ZL1 is a daily summer driver. My traded in 13' ZL1 coupe manual was a weekend warrior, garage queen.
When I went to an auto and a convertible I found myself wanting to drive it way way more.
Winter time I drive my 15 ram big horn as my DD .

Sakudog · 08-31-2015, 08:30 AM

I drive mine as much as possible. Probably 5 days a week!

Daily Driver forsure put 1,000 miles on my ZL1 this first month. I bought my ZL1 on 7/31/2015!!

Sadly we all know these cars are never going to go up in value, I feel sad for the poor ZL1 with 300 miles on it.

I was at a car auction recently and saw a guy selling a 2005? Shelby GT500 (first year of the shebly Gt500) He bought it for 55k back then and never put a mile on it, and sold it for 45k. 10k loss to sit in his garage??

The first year of the new Shelby GT500 was 2007.
There wasn't one in 05'

Mine just became a weekend warrior. I love driving the car, but it is not practical for my hobbies and fitting my kids in the back. Plan on keeping it for a long time.

dtwolcot2 · 08-31-2015, 05:26 PM

Mines a weekend warrior. It's either on a road trip or a race track. I work on a construction site. Not the place for my car. Driving it on road trips makes the drive a million times better and I plan my trips around the least amount of traffic so I can have a little fun. Nothing crazy, but enough to put a smile on my face.

m3andak · 08-31-2015, 10:00 PM

WW here. I have a company car so I abuse that all week and hammer the crap out of the Z on the weekends!

Turtle8001 · 08-31-2015, 11:16 PM

mine is a ww/take it to work when I can. 8 k in 2 years. love the car just wish I worked in better spots to drive it more.
