SS as a Daily Driver??? - Page 14 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

It will be my daily driver during the spring, summer, and fall. I am going to keep my Expedition for winter months so I don't have to buy winter tires.

weekend driven and garage kept

fcu678 · 01-28-2009, 08:08 PM

It will only be driven on clear sunny weekends and more than likely only to the local cruise nights. I may make a Super Chevy weekend if one isn't too far away. Too bad I don't have it now the 1st SS weekend of 09' is in two weeks in Baton Rouge which is only about an hour and a half from my house. I guess I'll have to settle and take the 84' Silverado.

EVERY DAY

I live in FL, so I'm good to go for weather. I just have to rinse it off a lot because of the salt here.

PQ · 01-28-2009, 08:43 PM

Hell, I may sleep in mine when I get it.

The Great KJ · 01-28-2009, 08:48 PM

No. Unlike my past Camaro's which were my primary car my new Camaro will not see snow or severe weather. Instead of will drive my Tahoe.

Just no snow or rain!

Why buy if not a daily driver? It should be fun to drive, so I'm gonna have fun driving it every day!

jachevy28 · 01-28-2009, 10:06 PM

Yes, but now I have the wife's car to ease some of the burden when we go on long trips and/or some weekend stuff. So that should help in the putting-on-miles department.

fireplug · 01-28-2009, 10:40 PM

This may sound corny but, I am buying this car for my 2 year old son (of course not to be used by him until he's at least 18). When I first saw the new Camaro, I thought; how cool would it have been if my dad had done something like that for me. In my case the car would have been a '64 Impala SS or something of the like. I have 3 fairly new cars - all paid for - and this one is going in the garage.... although, I bet I'll drive it from time to time

RallyFever · 01-28-2009, 10:43 PM

I plan to drive this one much more than the vettes I have owned,however, it will never see a forecasted bad weather day>

Gas mileage is of no concern to me, hell, I only get 13 in my truck!
My 2SS is like a hybrid for me!!

2KZ28_For_Now · 01-28-2009, 10:58 PM

I should have voted maybe. Depends on whether or not I can keep the 2KZ. Thats the current plan.

Heck, I'd probably end up driving the SS more anyway.
