i would, but i wouldn't use a v8 as a DD.. you can.. but it'll be alot of abuse to the vehicle.. paint, in public, milage etc. just my opinion.

If he doesnt use it as a daily driver what would he do with it then? Race it and beat the hell out of the engine or let it sit all week until the weekend? Thats a waste of money. Camaros are ment to be driven baby.. Get a Z and apriciate it, take it out a couple times, romance her... dont go straight for the goodies.. work her over alittle bit.. she'll come around... hell that worked with both my car and my girlfriend [8D]

cuz its a vette! Unless you are a hardcore racer and bought the vette only for the track its one of those cars that with the right amount of care the price could possibly appriciate over the years. Camaros.. now those are Muscle cars.. their ment to be out on the street dukin it out with Mustangs and ricers.

I am going to have to lean towards Spartan here. What is the difference if he drives it 100,000 miles in ten years or in twenty. Once your dads vette gets up there in mileage no matter how often he drives it it'll still be 100,000 miles, no more or no less wear and tear. Also he would get the same enjoyment doing it that way and not everyone can afford to have two cars. I bought my car as my DD and haven't had any problems with it. Yeah it has all the little chips and everything from rocks and all that but that's life, it is going to happen. As long as you can afford the extra insurance/gas money, I say get the Z and drive it, you won't be sorry.

I used to have a '97 3.8 V6 and I now have a '96 z28. Trust me, it's sooo much better. Even when you're not going fast, the sound is a huge difference.
