Daily Drivers

I've seen a lot of talk from people who mention the Camaro isn't their daily driver, but just something they have fun with. Am I insane for buying this as an everyday car?

Mine is going to be a daily driver as well, and I live in Nebraska where is snows in the winter (I obviously will need new tires). To me, I bought it to drive it, not stare at it parked in a garage for 5 months out of the year.

I am also a daily driver, 40 miles to work. I live in Florida though not in the snow, don't know if I would drive it all the time if I lived where it snowed heavy the whole winter.

It's a daily driver car to me. Especially as a V6 owner.

We're not talking about a $75,000 car here.

Yep, DD in Nebraska. I cringe when I think about the possible damage, but my hubby says that's what body shops are for!
