I have a 1995 vette and drive it approximately 4 days a week. I'm getting around 18 mpg in the city and I'm well pleased with that. At times, I experience a vibration and was informed by a repair shop that I need a harmonic balancer. This might explain why I experience a mild shake while at traffic lights. Other than that, the car is very fun to drive to work.

I will be as soon as I get it running again, it gets a lot better mileage than my jeep cherokee, and it's a lot more fun to drive, My drive to work is approx. 15 miles each way

I drive mine almost everyday and before I purchased it the car was actually a lease vehicle that had most certainly been driven almost every day having just under 180,000 miles on I have just recently done a fairly major tune-up including a new opti-spark, water pump, plugs, wires, mass air flow, O2 sensors, and all the fluids changed..cars runs better than my fathers with only 60,000 on his LOL.....love the gas mileage it gets and can't wait to get the car back from the body shop (got stuck behind a gravel truck on the way to a corvette show in the keys)
BTW The car is a 93' Ruby !

Mine is a weekend ride. Every once in awhile I'll take it to work. I split alot of my riding between my motorcycles and my truck. The previous owner of my car used it as a daily driver from 36k miles to 92k miles with no real issues. Lots of minor little blemishes on the paint as to be expected of a 10 year old car. The interior is pretty nice except for the visors. I really love this car.
