Why are the Chevrolet Corvette's not a everyday driving car??

I know few people with a Chevrolet Corvette and they tell me that they don't drive it all the time.. Why is that?? They cost to much just to let it sit there...

Well its a great car ofcoarse.
It has a 6.2L V8 and 430hp..and with upgrades you can get an a 7L engine wich has 530 hp. Its a great fast beautfiul car and can go as fast as ferraris and other luxury racing cars but much more affordable. Even though its a great car its not an everday car because it eats up gas like CRAZY and with gas prices so high your not gonna want to sit in traffic burning fuel and being able to go as fast. For everyday use you need a reliable car with good gas milage and maybe even enviromentaly friendly. Make your corvette a weekend car, maybe for going out or w/e. Enjoy but dont use it as an everydya car. Its waay too good for that.
