Yes, but only in the summer. I plan on a winter rat for the bad winter months.

Timberline · 01-22-2009, 06:43 PM

Yep, it will be a daily driver. Thats why the General built them......to drive and enjoy.

Eighty-Six Z · 01-22-2009, 08:20 PM

Will be my main driver. My back-up will be a 96 GMC 1500 for bad weather days.

DD for me as well......Good news.....only have a 4 mile commute to work AND I have a reserved spot in a parking garage to keep her out of the Florida sun, Bad news........they are tiny tiny spots and I'm between a Tahoe and a Avalanche.

Oh boy my first post lol... as you can tell from my name i have converted from a ford guy lol... as much as i love my 98 stang as soon as i layed eyes on the new camaro and did some reaserch on the history it grew on me this car and its history is amazing... this will definetly be my new daily driver come August...

RyanSSaddict · 01-23-2009, 02:13 AM

My SS Camaro will be a daily driver, my drive to work is less than 2 minutes. I live 2 hours away from anything, so I'll have plenty of time to let the V8 out.

Dano · 01-23-2009, 06:00 AM

Mine will be my daily driver, it won't get much worse MPG than my current daily driver, which is an 04 M6 GTO. My drive is 38 miles to work, but it is mostly highway, so my avg MPG is around 20. So I don't expect too much difference with this car. As long as I can keep my foot off the loud pedal. LOL

kstmbkes · 01-23-2009, 07:05 AM

This baby is going to sit until the weekends, Working construction I dont want the Camaro to get full of mud. Going to continue driving 92 firebird to work. I will buy a POS when the bird needs to get rebuilt.

It'll be my DD as well. I'm currently 30 miles from work. Gas is gonna be a biiiiiitch. Oh well, more heads to turn.

Rogue Leader · 01-23-2009, 12:57 PM

Yep daily here!

rico-2SS · 01-23-2009, 01:05 PM

It will be a "good weather permitting driver" for me.....Alot in the summer to and from everywhere but it will be stored winters. I anticipate about 3-4000 miles a year. Although I say that and I sold my SSR after 3 years and it only 5800 miles on it. But since this car is a 4 seater I can see some Family trips.

VJCamaro · 01-23-2009, 04:34 PM

I drive to and from work everyday. It's exactly 100 miles total. I get stuck in rush hour every day. 3 weeks of my life every year is stuck on the road. I'm going to drive this baby all over the place. It's my four wheels from point A, to point B everytime. Why buy it if its going to stay in your garage. Get out, and run it!

Just ordered on 1-23-09:
2SS Black on Black
Tap Shift
RS Package
Sunroof

I'm looking at Spring when I get it, because 1st year productions always have bugs in the production cycle.
