Is your Camaro your daily driver or a second car? - Page 9 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm still deciding. My commute isn't too bad, so gas mileage and the miles on my car won't be a very important factor. However, I plan extensive suspension modifications for my car, and having it out of service while that is being done would be difficult if I needed to drive it daily. Plus I want to take it out for track days without having to worry about not having transportation if I break something. On the other hand, maintaining a separate daily driver would be more expensive, so I would have to wait even longer to get the Camaro.

Have to admit. It is supposed to be sunny day toy only. But I couldn't resist driving her yesterday even though it looked like rain all day long. Got some splatter on the wheel wells but dodged the heavy rain all day.

Daily driver here - whenever it gets here.

It can vary for me, for now mine is not my daily. I wish it was. Till October, i'm working at a power plant here in Wyoming. The parking lot for construction workers is inside the plant property. The road in is gravel and coal, it goes around two sides of the 20 acre coal pile. It's windy in Wy, the coal dust gets into everything. They do water the road several times a day to control the dust but that just makes another mess i don't want under my Camaro. Also, the parking lot that holds about 500 cars is dusty and they don't water it.
Because of that, I drive my Colorado even though i don't like exposing it to those conditions either but better it than the Camaro. Plus the Colly only gets a little over 14 mpg going 80 on the interstate 25 miles each way. At least gas is cheap here right now. $2.33 for the Colly and $2.53 for the Camaro.

C'mon now!!! Daily driver all the way!!!

These cars were MADE to have miles put on them!

khislop007 · 07-19-2009, 11:53 AM

Daily driver for now until I find something cheep to drive when the weather is bad.

Karnage541 · 07-19-2009, 12:11 PM

Its a daily driver for me, but i didnt think it would be this hard as one tho. I live in the city, so parking it on the streets and having people bang it HURTS SOOO MUCH

. My car before this had alot of meaning to me so i figured it would be about the same... not even close lol.

Alarick · 07-19-2009, 12:17 PM

Daily driver for the time being.

May pick up a beater 4X4 at some point and put the Camaro on weekend duty.
