Mine is a garage King

katatonia · 05-11-2010, 08:04 PM

yes- and I put on 50 miles a day to and from work. This 19.3 mpg right now is taking some getting used to..........but sooooooooooooooooo worth it!

MrE · 05-11-2010, 08:45 PM

Daily driver here as well. I put on average, 110 miles each day. I've had mine for roughly 6 months and I have over 9k on the Odo. I try to rotate my DD between my other cars, but each day I don't drive the Camaro, I pout that its parked at home.

These cars were meant to be driven! Life is short, have fun!

Mine is a total daily driver. I have had mine since November and I have over 12,000 miles already. I love to drive my IOM.

Well, everyone who doesn't know what an SS looks or sounds like might.

It can be 'seasonal daily driver' if you live in an area that gets bad winter conditions.

Daily driver for the most part. Still use truck to pile in surfboards and to make lowes runs.
better gas mileage than my f150 gets so that is a plus.

Daily driver here! and loving every minute of it!! I managed to get 32mpg one time on a 10 mile drive from gas station to my house

phenixdragon · 05-12-2010, 10:28 AM

My Gixxer 750 is my daily driver. The SS mostly stays in the garage as it is a toy to me. And bikes are way more fun, way more power.

sask-man · 05-12-2010, 11:05 AM

Mine is a daily driver while weather permits. I dont know how others are getting that good of gas mileage...I sure as hell am not. 17mpg highway is the best so far...city..well thats somewhere around 11mpg and Im not mashing it as Im trying to get those numbers up - a lot!

loccs831 · 05-12-2010, 11:14 AM
