I put less than 1000 miles a year on my vette. Probably will put lot more than that on the Camaro at least the first year I have it.

I sure hope so (put more than 1k mile on your Camaro). Right now is the time to be hitting the streets. By this time next year, the Camaro will still be the baddest car on the street, but the WOW factor will be gone. So I plan on driving mine as much as possible (for at least the next 6 months or so). Then I will probably back off and try not to put too many miles on her.

But right now, I'm just making up reasons to go drive it around. I'm going to enjoy this experience as much as possible.

Still waiting on my 2SS/RS CGM but will be daily driver. I will park it in the garage at home and in a parking garage near my work to keep her covered on those stormy Texas days to keep from hail damage.
If it is a really bad weather day I may just hitch a ride with the wife since she works nearby. I definitely will be driving her as much as possible though, how could u possibly resist!!!!

My car will see rain, snow, salt... whatever comes up. I always see SS's and GT's driving around here in the winter, so I don't think I will have any problems. Especially with all of the traction control stuff on the 2010. The only thing I might do is get winter tires, but I'm still undecided...

Amen to that! Buy it, drive it, and enjoy it. Cars are actually made to be driven outdoors.

Absolutely!!

I didn't buy it to look at it in the garage! Drive her everyday to work and anywhere else I go...just park out and away from stuff now!

...and being in Texas, no winter for me!

Just that scratch set me off people seem to be 10x worse nowdays.

Yea it can handle driving 24x7. Imagine the poor Avis cars out there right now... as we speak someones lettuce is falling off the burger along with 2 fries into the seat. And coke spilling into the a/c ducts. Etc. Oh.. the horror.

I drove it exclusively for two weeks. It was fine as a daily driver. It is however, not my daily driver, but my favorite toy. When I got back in the Hummer I felt like I was driving 10ft in the air. Haha.

Sounds like back when I use to work at a dealership and we would take the new cars on food runs

I'm going to drive mine as much as possible but will avoid rainy weather and will garage it for the winter.

niko_lanzi · 06-23-2009, 09:04 PM

I will be using mine as a daily driver. I work with my dad and also live with him right now so I ride with him and don't drive my car all that much but anytime I'm not riding with my dad I will be driving my Camaro.

FLYNNZL1 · 06-23-2009, 09:14 PM

I will be putting about 100 to 150 miles per day Mon-Fri, then cruising on the weekends

Dan3 · 06-23-2009, 09:41 PM

My SS will definitely be a daily driver.
Thank god for NC weather. I'm gonna drive the wheels off it, then get another set and do it again. =D
