daily driver for me, I love it!

CamaroFemme · 08-27-2010, 10:55 AM

It's my only car (my man-beast has a Tundra - and co-ownership of the Camaro, of course, dear) so both! Will have had it a year next month, 15,000 miles, 30 mile round trip drive to work - love it, love it, STILL love it!

Weekend warrior. And one day a week to work. But will not see more the 2,000 miles a year.

Weekend warrior for me. Hard to justify driving it when my company car is unlimited mileage and gas. Camaro gets driven for the fun stuff. i.e. car shows, cruise-ins, dates, scenic drives.

I'd have to say both, actually. Depends on how I feel. I drive it work often enough, but I also drive my pickup to work alot too.

I see alot of people calling their cars a 'garage queen'. There is a guy at work who has 'garage ornaments'. He won't take them out for fear of getting them dusty, or maybe a rock chip from a semi....so they just sit in the Garage.

Daily - over 100 miles aday back and fourth to work. I love it

I've never understood the concept of having a nice car and a DD. By the time you factor in the extra insurance, the price of maintaining an extra car, I just don't see how it can be worth it.

On top of that, I didn't buy my lovely Camaro so I can leave it locked away and drive a POS the rest of the time.

My new job involves a fair bit of driving, but that's fine. They pay me 50c a mile, and the money I don't spend on gas gets set aside for maintenance, oil changes, and repairs.

So far the longer trips they sent me on have been awesome in my Camaro. I especially love the On Star and HUD.

All that said, if the company sends me on too many trips, I may have them rent me a car for some of them. I don't want to put stupid miles on my car...

rd-camaro · 08-27-2010, 02:11 PM

was a DD at first...had to drive it through the winter...never again...so i went out and bought a 95 yj jeep wrangler 5-spd.

so now it has turned into a sunny day only driver! (and winter storage car of course)

Race you to 2000 miles, will be there next week, hehe, after 2 weeks of having the car.

Obviously a daily driver.

Drive a 2004 Toyota Tundra double cab to work (about 5 miles). And save "Shaft" (my black 2010 2SS/RS) for the weekends and days off. Why? There has been four thefts in our company parking lot just this year!! Worth it!

marticus24 · 08-27-2010, 02:40 PM

Weekend warrior for me! Stays tucked away in the garage while I drive my 07 Ford Fusion down the 33 miles of construction-ridden highways for my one-way commute to work. People at work doesn't seem to understand how far, how crappy, and how unpredictable the roads/construction is when they ask why I don't drive it to work. Oh well.

typhoidfvr · 08-27-2010, 02:41 PM

Funny thing, my wife drives a 2009 Lexus GS350 and we used to take my truck places where she didn't want to take her car. Now, we take her car to places I don't wanna park my Camaro!
