Daily for every summers day! Then my magnum will be my summer/winter car.

2SS/RS as a DD for me... I shudder at driving it in the snow this winter, but like someone else said... I am not paying for something that's just going to sit around for months at a time... I'm going to drive it and enjoy it

I will be driving mine every chance I get, including to work every day. The only exception will be in the snow. Will take the neon back from my 16 year old on snowy days.

my vette is a daily driver although my commute is about 10 miles round trip a 5-6 days a week. Camaro should be fine

I'm not going to worry about the miles....i'm buying the Camaro to enjoy it and i'm definately going to enjoy every mile I put on that baby.

That's my plan as well - driving the Camaro whenever I can, but leaving it safe & sound in the garage when the roads are covered in slush and salt.

This car was designed as a daily driver.

If your Camaro is a collector then of course you don't drive it daily. But that's normal for any collector car.

My Z 06 is my DD and has 90k miles on it. Cant see why the Camaro could not do the same. These things are meant to be driven and enjoyed!

Hows a Z06 Vette hold up after 90k miles? Sqeaks? Rattles? You don't run into many guys that enjoy there cars as much as you do!

The car is a solid dependable daily driver. Other than expected wear items I have had the HVAC control unit crap out and the oil pressure sending unit fail. And that's it. She can still pull a mid 12 quarter, hang with the high dollar stuff on track days and get 30 mpg on the highway in easy cruise.

If I had one negative to the car it would be water leaks. No garage here and after a heavy rain water always finds new and different ways to soak the carpet.

I got the car with 54k miles on it. Paid 22k and though I got a bargain. Now they are going for under 20k all day. These things are a bargain and great fun.

For a solid roof, the water leaks surprise me. Other than that, I'd like to see how a "high-dollar" exotic car does with 90k on it!
