I bought my car to DRIVE, not to sit in a garage for me too look at while I send off monthly payments LOL, and if anyone else feels the opposite, that's ok too. We all have our own reasons for the way we treat/use our cars. I am not paying anyone else's car note or insurance, so they can do what they want with their own car To each his own.

Just wish we wouldn't have so much drama over insignificant differences (garage queens/daily drivers, V6/V8, Auto/Manual).

Instead they got the idea that for some reason I think daily drivers are somewhat better, or those that garage them have some issue...

Not even close, I could care less if you drive your car or not. I was wondering if people enjoy driving the car they own. I wanted to know if when you get off work because you drove a Camaro to work do you look forward to going home a little more.

Yeah , there will always be those that make something out of nothing.
Ordered my 13 2LT to drive around all day for the last 2 years before i retire. I work for the school district and drive from school to school all day long. As you can imagine , the kids can't stay away. So far no one has scratched it. It looks like a muscle car with ground effects etc , but has the v6 with automatic. I cruise during the week and have a Challenger SRT 6-spd manual for my weekend fun. You can be a hater if you want , i just don't care. I worked very hard for what i have.

I was simply saying I enjoy driving my Camaro. I enjoy driving it to and from work. I also meant to say.... I feel sorry for those that are having weather issues that is keeping them from driving their car.

Nothing about being better or worse or some weird way of thinking.

Thats how I read it. With all the weather, Im sure people can't get out in their cars. Unless they have all weather or winter tires.

BTW.. Mine is my daily driver.

People r crazyyyyyyy....... Drove mine to work today.... Oopppssss

One of the reasons I bought mine was to make my commute fun. Mission accomplished! 75,000 miles later, I still smile during the ride. I did have a few interesting moments in the snow, but I only got stuck once in 4 years.

I love driving mine and it's intended to be my daily driver but I find me driving my truck more since the winter months have started. I don't want to drive it when it's bad wether conditions because I have a more suitable vehicle for that. it's also hard to keep clean, even when no precip is called for, you have the snow melting, salt still on the roads and so on.

I think we all can agree we love driving our Camaro's.

You obviously care since you took time out of your day to post in what you call an annoying thread....

Back to OP. Mine is a my daily driver as well and I love every minute I get to drive it. I'm always turning back around to look at it when I get out and think to myself "that's a badass car" haha

Nobody is saying you're evil because you don't daily drive it. Relax.

Pics of 85 TA please. That was my first new car. I'm still trying to find one that isn't a collector piece or ragged out. I can't seem to find one in between.

I have two cars and I still choose to drive the Camaro. Why should it sit in the garage? What am I saving it for? I can't be buried in the damn thing, I may as well drive it. Just my opinion of course.

It's definitely a fun car to have as a daily driver. I traded in my 2009 4wd Trailblazer to buy my Camaro. Love driving it to work everyday even in the winter months with the snow.

I think you're being a little too sensitive about DD'ing or not, and that led you to read too much into OP's post.

Try looking at it in terms of enjoying the drive in his Camaro as opposed to putting up with having to use either of his other rides . . . not as an attack on the way you prefer to use your Camaro.

I know exactly where he's coming from - before I retired there were many, many times where the best "out of home" parts of the weekdays were the drives to and from the job. And I know this because I decided a very long time ago that every car I'd ever own would have to have "fun to drive" up at or very close to the top of the priority list. Every car.

Life is too short to drive something that at best you tolerate driving because you feel you have to.

I'm right there with you on that one! I worked my ass off since graduating college to be able to afford my 2LT/RS. It's the only car I have right now and it will probably be the only car I have. I've driven it in all sorts of weather here in Illinois and have enjoyed every single minute. I always turn and look at it when I park it at work and think "that's a badass car"!

Been a good year for winter Camaro driving....

Right there with ya, though I do have a 'loaner' car I can use when the snow is flying for a day or two.
