No, I actually thought it was funny to break the ice in a way of
speaking.  It wasn't meant to be taken too seriously tho you seem to
take it literally.  And it wasn't meant to be a personal attack on
you, anyone else nor to dictate what car to own.  

I guess you have to have a sense of humor to understand.  I wouldn't
ordinarily apologize for this but if it makes you happy, I apologize
for offending you and anyone else.  

Anyway, go ahead and kill file me now :(    .

I think the way this whole discussion is going should be a lesson to put a
few smileys and frowns and such in to let a few people know which way they
are writing.

And then accept that they are trying to say it that way, whether it comes
across or not.

As to the Honda, why not?  While we are here because the Corvette is the
world's greatest car, how many actually driving a Corvette and only a
Corvette and never drive anything else?

Certain Hondas I would entertain. Others, I wouldn't just like certain
Chevies and Dodges and so on.  Are the rest of you saying you are so
narrow-minded that you would drive a Corvette and only a Corvette and never
anything else?  Going to be real hard getting around on a business trip when
they fly you someplace.  Heck, I even drove a Mercury Milan about 2 months
ago while on business. An ok car, comfortable, ran well, but not my cup of
tea.

I thought hard about buying a Honda. A girlfriend had a CRX and it was a fun
car to drive.  It was the go kart type of cars, like the Austin Mini I had
long ago and the Dodge Neon I had. They were small, quick, agile, and could
be a lot of fun in traffic if you really needed to get through it.

None of them would EVER replace any of my Corvettes.

And I think that is the point. While it is a great idea to think of driving
a Corvette daily and always, sometimes we have other needs.  I had to haul a
couch in my truck a few weeks ago.  It would have been really hard to do in
the Vette.  But those other needs also raise the specialness level of the
Corvette. When I had my '67 big block coupe, I drove it as my daily driver.
To work, to school, to whatever.  After awhile, it was just a car.  I hadn't
gotten rid of my '69 Charger and so I began driving it to work when I blew
the rear out of the '67.

When I got back in the Vette after two weeks of not having it, it was
GREAT!!!!!!  And a few more !!!!

Within a couple of months, it was a car again.  Since I hadn't been having
luck selling the Charger (now there is one I wish I had today, seen the
Mopar prices lately?), I stuck some for sale signs in the windows and drove
it to work several days a few. The days I drove the Vette, it was special
again.  Granted, it seemed like there were days in the Charger, I really
wished I'd taken the Vette (girl in next car, Ricky Racer in next lane,
etc), but when I drove it every day, there were a lot of days nothing made
me really want it there. Watching the steam and exhaust blow the 10 inches
of snow away from the sidepipes while I cleaned the windows one night was
cool, though. :-)  <<< There a smiley.  I'm laughing. <<<<

Recently, I had a '79 I found.  Most will tell you that a '79 is possibly
only slightly higher on the Corvette scale than a '77 or '84, but I only
drove it on a few occasions, like to run off for lunch, or over to the
school PTF once a month, or whatever.  And when I did, it felt GREAT!  (not
as great as the '67, but you get the drift)

So while the idea of daily driver is great, sometimes it is the special
driver status that makes it GREAT.  And especially if you drive a not so
great car in between or a car that is very different.  Trust me, cars like a
Mini (a real one, not this new BMW copy), a Vega, a Neon, and such, can be a
lot of fun, but they are no way a Corvette, however, they really heighten
the Corvette experience each time you get in and out of the seat.

And this is from a guy who has only had 5 weeks total of not owning a
Corvette in the last 32 years.  And those were a long time ago.
