Default Daily Driver Shoutout!!

I'm a college student and proud owner of a 2002 NBM m6 SS. It has 133,000 miles and is my daily driver. I feel some guilt in having to drive it everyday although it has alot of miles on it already. I just hardly ever see any ls1 cars on the street in my town. Just curious if anybody else has a daily driver and if so the mileage and mods??

Drive it. That is what they are made for.

DD mine at 56K, basically stock.

Don't feel bad about the miles, if its maintained right they shouldn't really matter.

I DD mine too and it just rolled over 104,000 miles, but I take care of it like crazy so it looks and runs great
NY winters are tough though so i am in the market to buy a winter beater. Other than that my commute is 30 miles everyday but the car makes it so much funner. My mods are below...
