Another old guy here.. when I retire I'm moving to AZ and then I can drive it year round anytime I want. The roads there are great and there is a scenic highway between Flagstaff and Sedona the locals call "the switchbacks" that is one of my favorite driving roads besides Pacific Coast Highway in CA which is well within long cruise driving distance from AZ. I'm going to visit AZ next month and rent a 6th Gen SS again.

Don’t fret, everybody has their own thing, and it doesn’t have to match your thing. For example the rare time’s my car comes out of the garage it’s unleashing a terror of whoopass for the short time it’s out. Probably not like you will ever drive your car. So don’t measure fun based on usage.

I do not care to have anyone tell me how to enjoy my ZL1. It's mine. I bought and paid for it, and I will enjoy it in the manner that makes me happy. There was a thread here several years ago that dealt with a very similar question, although I can't remember when. I responded to it the, and I will do the same now. I don't think that it matters, but I have yet to update my avitar (I hope that that description of me at the outset is the proper term). I'm a Canadian now living in Indiana. I bought my 2013 ZL1 new and picked it up from my local Toronto dealer in November of 2012. I had to order the same car three times from two different dealerships before I got what I wanted. There were only 361 of them sold in Canada that year, so even the largest GM dealerships had difficulty getting them. But, I had to have one. I was in love with it from that first day. It's ok, my now-wife here knows this... I have driven it a total of 39 KM, or 24 Miles. Not thousands, true single digits. It is started regularly and cared for in the very best manner. Climate controlled storage, covered, and many other precautions taken. I get such personal satisfaction from seeing my car, looking at all of it, enjoying it for what it is and how it looks. Driving it is a great experience, for the very limited time that I have, but I take great satisfaction and pride in ownership in and of itself. Yes, with no such original intention, she has become a garage queen. That has made me happy. The Camaro is what brings all of us on C5 together. How we each enjoy our own Camaros, should not be judged in any manner by any one of us. We all are happy with our decisions. Jim |

I hear you. My situation is a bit different. My ZL cannot be used as a daily driver for several reasons. One, the commute and parking situations are rough. Two; The car is garaged away from my residence, so retrieving it would be loads of fun on a daily basis. Three: The car requires constant supervision. Technically I could drive it, of course. However, to maintain the car at the standard that I require forces the car to be heavily supervised. My Malibu can get away with being daily driven (I have to be careful with it as well), but my detailed ZL1 would not have a moment's peace out there in the wild. I've seen well driven ZL1s with dirt, dents, scratches all over the f*(kin place, and that's simply not the way to own a car that's at the caliber of a ZL1.
