Default Will the C8 be the best Corvette to daily ever?

I have to admit that my threshold or what makes a daily driver is pretty low...But after sitting in the C8, and learning about the storage and nose-raising feature, I could easily see using this as a daily. But I don't have kids, seldom need haul anything other than groceries, and live four miles from work. What about you? Could you see using the C8 as a daily driver?

I guess I'd be most curious about visibility after driving it in traffic, but after sitting in it, I think the biggest problem with daily driving this would be the constant conversations I'd have with gearheads. I'd be late everywhere...

I can't imagine using any corvette for a daily driver, only a garage toy.

A friend is driving a 2019 Grand Sport Daily. She drove it to work in the snow this morning. My C8 is going to be a garage toy.
