When I get home in my company work truck I take my Camaro out for it's daily drive :P I bought it in 3 months with 30 miles on it. I don't drive it until I get off work and on the weekends and she just ticked 6k miles, loving every one of em!

Ok.. I don't have my SS yet but it will be a weekend toy... I work such long hours I don't get to drive my 2004 Corvette CE that much so we sold my wife's 96 Corvette 3 years ago and she started driving the 2004 Corvette CE. I had it for 3 years and only put 2,000 miles on it. I think now after my wife driving it 3 years it only has 18,500 miles on it. My Tahoe sits most of the time because I drive the little Ranger to work so It only has 3,800 miles on it right now and it is a 2007. My wife said if I'm going to let a car sit around in the garage and only drive it on the weekends it should look and be fast..

That's why I have a new SS on order. I plan hitting some car shows and weekend cruz-ins with it. Drive it to work on nice days.

Daily driver here too. 4000 miles to date (purchased in Jan 10). Only problem is a few small rock chips in front facia.

mine's my DD.
purchased 4/1, and just rolled over 3K; roughly 44 miles round trip for work, mostly highway.

no issues so far. I keep looking for more reasons to take it out on weekends just because it's so damn much fun to drive.

I'm trying to figure out what to do tire-wise for the winter. last winter we saw more snow than any year since we moved to VA. our "normal" winters might see a couple inches over the entire season.

I grew up driving rear wheel drive cars in Buffalo (70s through '90), and through the worst winter blizzard we ever had (Blizzard of '77) I was driving a '70 Camaro, with a jacked up rear end and 70s on the back. I never got stuck in that car through all that snow...

Drive mine daily, 28025 KM, only problem is I do not like the way the rocker panels are getting sand blasted and the gills on rear quarters are getting chipped, I have put on GM splash gaurds, and they seem to help, Car will be driven a year in aug.
Still one of the best looking cars on the road,

Extremely well, so far.

He's mean, lean and clean... and I've had no issues in 8000 miles over the last 4 months.
