Driving 70 a day round trip I worry about doing it in a beater because I don't want to end up on the side of the rode broken down. I'm female by the way so that isn't what I wanted to happen. Sorry for the long story...

The answer is..... DD

Hey! We're in the same boat.... I will be driving mine (when I get her) daily... 84 miles round trip & then on the weekends...I'm sure we'll take her everywhere else we go... I put 25K - 30K miles a year on my cars. My hubby has a Dodge RAM 1500 Hemi, that we can drive, but I'm sure mine will be much more fun!! We will be keeping his truck when it's paid for next year... & he's "thinking" about a Camaro for himself! We'll see what he decides.

I also hate the thought that I "might" break down on the road (since I spend so much time there), so I trade my cars in every 3-4 years. So.... we'll see if this new Camaro will be a "keeper".

Mine will be a DD for about 2 months until my company car comes in then it will be my weekend toy. I was gonna DD it but I just drive too much and it would have like 80K on it in 2 years.

Daily driver until winter comes. Then the AWD Enclave comes out.

Jeffro19 · 07-17-2009, 12:31 PM

Mine will be a second car. Probably just drive on weekends. But Im sure I wont be able to resist and take it our during the week

Mine will be a pleasure car, I can't part with my Mazda 6, bought it new and it's paid for. However my husband plans to start driving the Mazda more since his truck is hard on gas.

chrisgalles · 07-17-2009, 12:58 PM

Camaro will be my only vehicle when I trade my truck in. I'm single, 27 and live in Texas. No need for much of a backseat and no need for a winter beater. Once I get it, I will start looking for a used Triumph Daytona.

IROCanSS · 07-17-2009, 01:00 PM

Its about 3 down the line. We commute about 60 miles on way to work.

DD - 1998 Honda Civic
DD in bad weather (heavy rain or any snow) - 2006 Ram 2500 diesel 4X4
weekend cruiser - 2010 2SS/RS or 1989 IROC or 1992 Jeep Wrangler with a 4" lift and BAMF* supper swamper tires.

EVERYDAY!!!!! These cars were meant to be driven....

PhoenixRisen · 07-17-2009, 01:45 PM

Daily driver for me. Not much of a driver myself. Put 54,000 miles on my grand prix in 6 years of daily driving. I bet the grand prix doesn't see 70,000 miles by 10 years : ).

Keeping the grand prix around for the cruddy OH winter weather. However, I'm not parking the camaro all winter. That'd waste precious fun time.

Mormegil · 07-17-2009, 01:55 PM

I kept my truck for the commute to and from work, but the Camaro will be driven almost everyday.

beowulf80 · 07-17-2009, 01:58 PM

My 2SS/RS is my DD currently. Once winter hits, I'll be switching. I inherited the fiance's Cavalier and she took my Impala when we got the Camaro. Just how often I'll be driving the Cav. in the winter is yet to be determined.
