Anyone else's Camaro their commuter car and not their weekend car? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I was reading a thread about the mileage on people's Camaros and see a lot of garage queens out there. Most were cars that only get driven on weekends if that.

It got me thinking about my Camaro and I thought it was funny that I only drive Ginger during the week and Drive The Beast on the weekends.

Anyone else have one of these reverse situations?

Not even close to the same here. Had my 2SS since last September and only have around 180 miles on here. With 2 children, we're usually in a Tahoe and I refuse to drive it to my job! My old work truck is reserved for that.

I have a work truck so my SS is my Friday and weekend driver!

I drive my car everyday. It is only 15 mile round trip though. In the 5 months I gave owned my car have only put 2300 miles on her.

Drive mine at least 5 days a week. Currently just under 12,000 miles. Luckily my daily commute is less than 8 miles.

Drive mine to work daily and everywhere else, too. Not paying $336 a month for it to sit in the driveway while I ride in my rough riding lowered, no AC, worn out '93 Chevy C1500.

pretty much the same situation. I only put about 6k miles a year on my cars without really trying. my 8yr old truck only has 62k on it. hadn't even noticed until someone else brought it up. I just drive and don't worry about it. only time I even check is when its about time for an oil change. I traded in a 5yr old car with less than 32k miles for the camaro.

5th gen is my daily driver, have others I use for car shows, cruises, etc.

mmartian · 04-24-2012, 06:54 PM

I could walk to work (less than a mile) but since i have a reserved space at work I drive her every day. However during the week i put about 12 miles on her, on the weekends she gets hit with a hundred

Mine is a DD, not because I have another car that is my weekend car, but because it is my only can. My wife has a Cruze but that is hers and she uses it to get to work. I am up over 11k miles and have owned it a little over a year. My commute is very short though, maybe 6 miles one way.

I drive my car to work daily but on weekends because it is in the garage and my wifes car is behind it i usually just take her car to the store or wherever I go unless I feel like moving hers which is a pain. Currently about 2200 miles in 8 months.

kind of a mixture of both. I have a beater car for work, but that's pretty much the only place I drive it. for example, If I come home from work and have to go out somewhere I take the camaro.
