Questions are just rolling out today. What sort of miles you put on your C4 on a weekly basis?

Used it as a DD for a little while. Not really suited for the daily driving I encounter:( so I ended up with an 89 Landcruiser:cheers:

Daily on nice days. This winter I have been driving my Grand Cherokee more. My business is only 2.5 miles from home so it is not a lot of miles when I do drive it to work.

More like a weekly driver since I drive a truck here in Sweden. All in with holiday trips and such it´ll be arround 10000 miles (16000km) per year. Drive it all year round, winter like summer. Studded tires though in winter.

Winters the Vette gets driven rarely. I drive my Jeep instead. In the summers its a toss up which I drive. Generally depends on what I'm doing. Fishing- Jeep going out for a Saturday drive - Vette. :cheers:

I love this car and drive it as much as I can. Friend even joke with me as I have seriously taken this car to the camp sites most the time. During the summer months there is a group of 12-15 of us who go camping for most the summer. Every weekend! I always show up in the Vette. Passenger seat loaded up!

Yes, daily driver, 250+mi/wk. Rides good, runs great, turns a lot of heads. What more could you ask for?

Living in Ohio, I can only drive mine in the warmer weather but I do drive it daily as long as the sun is out. Somewhere around 3000 a year.

Are the roads taken care of pretty well in the winter months?

If I can get this thing running good for the summer this car will be a daily driver!

My '92 is a daily driver right up until the rear wheel bearings starting making noise. I would say i put ~200 miles/week on it. The only thing i have to watch out for is steep inclines or declines in intersections. Loosing the front air damn is a pain :rofl:

Yes, I drive my '85 everyday to work. Work is only 1.3 miles from garage to parking space, so I'm not putting many mile on it. Don't care about the price of gas or fuel mileage, Love Driving My Vette!

Drive my 89 most every day, but I am starting to watch what street I drive on. They are in dire need of repair, makes for a really rough ride. Currently 131,000 miles on it. Still going very strong, babied all the time. Nothing like driven a nice Vette:driving: :thumbsup: :cheers:

Well, not quite IMO. A few places in this country they seem not to give a .... for what the weather is doing. In some areas salt doesn´t seem to cost anything and in some they don´t use salt att all!!! Most northern communities/provinces don´t want the salt to go down in the soil and finally ground water. They use sand instead in junctions and such places where you are about to use the brakes. Works like sandpaper once it´s pressed down in the ice/snow. Of course they use snow (what do you call them scrapers, my vocab. just left my brain as I know it).

I'm driving my '96 about 400 maybe 500 miles a week? It really depends what I'm doing. I'm not shy when it comes to driving this car!

The word your looking for is snowplow, I almost got taken out by plenty this, I know what they are.
