Well this will be my 3rd vehicle, so it's gonna be a 3 season weekend car... I got my truck for beating up daily and my wife has her envoy....

King T · 11-21-2009, 10:50 AM

A little of both. I only live 5 miles from my job so I commute it at times. I really mostly drive it on the weekend Fri-Sun. I have 2 other cars so it's really if I feel like pulling it out of the garage that day or not. The only time I don't drive it for sure is when it rains.

My daily and i let my husband drive it on the weekends. (with me in it of course)

I thought about using as a daily driver and selling my older car but changed my mind. The thought of seeing it sitting in the parking lot while the sun beating on it all day long as well as in the rain wasnt happening. Its now my toy i bring out from time to time and never gets parked in any parking lots except work.

alfie43 · 11-21-2009, 11:26 AM

Not my daily driver by any stretch of the imagination..

I take my Camaro out only if there less than a 2% chance of rain, temps above 50*, wind speed less than 10mph, relative humidity of less than 50%, AND, most importantly, if I'm going to have the time to wipe it down after the ride.

I have had the car for almost 2 months now...its never been washed.

Wait a minute! Come to think of it, the dealer may have washed before delivery?

OMG! That's it, I'm going take it back and exchange it for one that's never been violated with water.

Some people are so ..... These cars are made to be driven not sitting all hidden away in some garage most of the time... Geesh... I don't even have a garage, and Mine will be driven practically every day..
They won't melt if driven in the rain, they aren't some 200K exotic sports car.. They are a Camaro, Made for the Common man to be driven every day..

If you keep them locked up and only drive them ocassionally then you are missing alot of pleasure.. it makes driving to work and home much more fun.. you find yourself making excuses to go out of your way to go places.. Use it, Enjoy it, You only live once....for tomorrow you may die...

MickGIS · 11-21-2009, 12:56 PM

Good reasons for both sides of this argument but I choose to drive it like I stole it…on a daily basis.

Partick · 11-21-2009, 01:16 PM

DD except for rainy days... we don't get to many of those here so when it does rain it's a signal for people who don't know how to drive to come out and play bumper cars.

PAUL SS · 11-21-2009, 03:33 PM

I have a daily driver, I bought this for me to enjoy how and when and where I please. It won't be driven in the snow or on salted roads. If I can help it it wont be driven in the rain or on wet roads either. It may be driven to work once the novelty of these exciting cars wears off and I don't have to worry about it attracting gawkers and touchers, but I don't like the idea of it sitting the sun for 9 hours while I am in he office.

I don't ever plan to sell it and hope it stays in the family for a very long time.
