There’s something thrilling about buying a classic car, especially a C6 Corvette. The cars are beautiful, often run well, and are a call back to a different age and style of driving. It can be a lot of fun to take them out and really get a feel for what they can do and how they hold up against modern cars and modern road conditions. However, Corvettes need to be taken care of and that means that you need to drive the car responsibly.
 
So don’t be afraid to focus on treating your Corvette a bit kinder on the road, and be sure to stay away from some of these bad Corvette habits.

Don’t Abuse It

Whether you want to street race, take your car out to the track, or just open her up in a closed location without anyone else around, you need to be careful not to push the Corvette too far. Sure the Corvette can move fast and can take a serious pounding, but you need to make sure that you aren’t pushing the Corvette to its limits every single time you take it out on the road.
 
The worst thing you can do to your Corvette is put it through its paces every single time you get out onto the open road. Instead, take care of the vehicle and make sure to maintain it so the car can recover properly. That way, you can enjoy the feeling of pushing your Corvette, but you aren’t pushing it so much that it starts to break down on you.

Ride It On Good Days

While some cars can very easily withstand time in the rain or snow, a C6 Corvette will do its best driving during a calm and sunny day. Driving on the roads when the weather isn’t perfect is often asking for trouble, especially if you are still getting used to the power that the Corvette wields.
 
So if you need to go somewhere when the weather isn’t the best, focus on driving another vehicle. If you do take the car out, then you should drive very slowly and carefully on the roads so you can avoid getting into an accident.

Give Time For Maintenance

It can be very easy to see any problem in your Corvette as a problem that you don’t need to worry about right now, or just the ‘quirk of an old car.’ However, you need to take the time to provide maintenance to your Corvette in order to make sure it will continue to run for you. This means you need to focus on the parts, including the engine.
