Is your Camaro your daily driver or a second car? - Page 11 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I put 24k miles a year on my vehicles so there is no way its my daily driver; I couldn't bear the thought of the miles. The anticipation and temptation to drive it is almost too much! My Honda and Silverado are abused while my 2SS gets all the attention!

This is my third car and I'm retired.... Just depends what mood I'm in as far as what car I drive ...

Daily Driver.......god, I loved driving it in the rain. Completely disable the traction control and see how long you can keep em spinning in third. Fourth gear loss of traction just has to be enjoyed firsthand. I'd really love to drive it in the snow, we just don't get much of it down here. I could kill an entire day in an iced up mall parking lot with this car and be laughing the whole time.

2010 Camaro RT2/RS is my only car. I traded in my GMC 4X4 Sierra SLT for it yesterday.

weekend car, use my corolla for work, as I usually do about 25k a year jusr for work and commuting. Do not want to put that kind of miles on my camaro. Usually good for about 5k a year driving on the weekends, road trip etc.

myblackcamaros · 10-28-2009, 08:14 AM

Fun car only, but I catch myself wanting to drive it all the time. I usually drive my Duramax dually.

TwoEcho · 10-28-2009, 08:22 AM

Daily until I can afford to get another vehicle. Hell, even then I might keep it my DD. It is waaay too much fun to drive to keep it cooped up in a garage...

2010 SSRS · 10-28-2009, 08:26 AM

I have 3 Camaros to choose from and none are daily drivers, the 09 Jeep or the 07 Impala SS are the daily drivers, mostly the Jeep.

My nice day, special occasion and second garage queen.

EdRedCamaro2 · 10-28-2009, 10:31 AM

I think of mine as a pleasure craft. Weekend road trips, evening drives, autocross events on weekends. She stays covered in the garage unless there is good weather.

My '95 Camaro V-6 5-spd has been my daily driver since Day One in June, 1995. He even has Blizzak snow tires mounted on identical OEM silver wheels. He can handle ice or snow, as long as the snow is less than 4-5 inches deep. Needless to say, the '95 will continue his duties, except now he isn't in the garage any more.

People at work say that they know the weather report when they see which Camaro I am driving into the parking lot!

I drive my 01 GMC Yukon and keep the C in the garage
used for pleasure driving [it sure is a pleasure to drive]

greenrail · 10-28-2009, 11:52 AM

Admittedly, this car is a Toy for me. Will only be driven exclusively for pleasure and
occassional cruises.

If it was to be my daily driver, I would have gone with an Auto instead of a manual transmission and probably gone with the V-6 instead. But, as it is, it is my outlet valve!

rocketman 12 · 10-28-2009, 01:47 PM

Its my toy, I find myself driving it A LOT, though

! My "daily" driver is a 1998 S-10, I also have a 1993 Lumina for a beater.

esperman · 10-28-2009, 01:51 PM

3rd car. Only nice weather & cruising aimlessly allowed.
