Mine will not be a daily driver it replaced my other non daily driver
Bought that car new in 1994 had it for 15 years put 94,000 miles on it and still looked and drove like new

when I traded in for the Camaro.

I have a reserved covered parking space so on good weather days I will drive it on occasion to work.
But mostly I will drive the 2006.5 Jetta diesel since it gets 49 mpg.

mine will be a 1ss/rs L99 and it will be my only mode of transportation other than a raced out zuma, thats mostly just play, although it has taken me to work a few times. color will proly be white or silver, something that wont fade easy, and thats easy to keep clean, cause i dont have covered parking, made the mistake of getting my srt-4 in black, looks sick when clean but is dirty within 2 days here. but plan to drive it everyday,

"I never inhaled,"

Someone care to define a daily driver...

Driven to work...??? Driven on shopping spree's...??? Started and run around the block...??? Pulled out of the garage to bask in the sun prior to re-sheltering it...???

I'll drive mine on a daily, or mostly daily basis, when I can get near her... Will I drive it to work.... uhhhh, no, I work 6000 miles from my house... When I'm off work I'll either be in my camaro or on my Harley for road travel. I plan on being at the Camaro5 Fest, and taking it to North Carolina to watch my son play baseball, (maybe in the same trip). I could try to drive it to work, but, this car in Mexico, doesn't seem likely, Panama, she doesn't swim so the canal could be tough...it's a damn long way to southern Brazil so based on the definition provided, it's not technically a daily driver, but I'll drive it daily when I have the chance...

My weekend fun car. It's my first new car ever purchased so I prefer to keep the miles low on it. (About 3,100 now since August.) Will be avoiding the rain and snow when possible.

Daily Driver that'll have about 25,000 miles on it when its first birthday rolls around in June. I wish I didn't have to drive so far to work, but I am sure I'll either be moving or getting a new job within a year so hopefully my commute will get a little better than 36 miles one way.

If I got the SS I wouldn't be driving it so much, that's for sure. But the V6 was made to be a daily driver.

iluvmy67camaro · 11-21-2009, 05:20 PM

It's parked in the garage with hubby's Harley, I keep it kept spotless too. I kicked my van to the curb for this car. Well... I kicked it out of the garage, it's out on the parking pad now with hubby's truck.

Oh, and I drive it when ever I want, where ever I want for as long as I want. In other words, daily driver unless I decide not to drive or have to drive the van to haul stuff for work. Then I'm back in Little Red.

Daily driver

Darth_Emma · 11-21-2009, 05:35 PM

Ordered my 2SS two weeks ago and I'm keeping my 2002 Toyota Highlander for bad weather driving. The Camaro will be my fair weather car. I feel very fortunate to be able to have 2 vehicles so I can keep my Camaro clean.

You're one of few, that I know, who trusts parking it at work...NOT ME!

They won't melt if driven in the rain, they aren't some 200K exotic sports car.. They are a Camaro, Made for the Common man to be driven every day..

If you keep them locked up and only drive them ocassionally then you are missing alot of pleasure.. it makes driving to work and home much more fun.. you find yourself making excuses to go out of your way to go places.. Use it, Enjoy it, You only live once....for tomorrow you may die...

I guess we don't all have the pleasure of good weather year round, like you do. Retorical ?, Do you get snow, have to drive on salt littered streets in the winter? Probably not.

SQUALO · 11-21-2009, 06:01 PM

Mine is a weekend warrior, and my color choice had nothing to do with it. I just love the IOM, and it's cameleon type skin, that keeps them guessing.

Sunny skies only for this car. She'll never see rain and definitely won't see snow. Wash/polish obsessively. Garage kept and will be putting her away soon. Just ordered a car cover for her long winter's nap.
