Exactly why i DD my formula.

Why is it a bad thing to put miles on your camaro/firebird? if it dies, u rebuild it.

if your crappy dd dies u have to replace it as well.

Why not drive the best looking and fastest thing you got?

I daily drove my 2000 for 3 months after I first bought it. I loved actually driving it but I was so paranoid about getting it dinged up, scratched, or stolen that I had to get a daily. I enjoy it so much more taking it out just on the weekends.

These cars are fun,get good mileage even if well modded and are absolutely WORTHLESS nowadays with resale value and such. I have daily driven a F-body since 1998. I would dd my Vette but i have my Formula. Drive it like its supposed to be driven

The roads are pretty shitty around/on Ft Knox. Theres a ton of those little tiny rocks that stick onto your car when it rains, Id hate driving and hearing the constant noise of hearing my car get hit with those little ****** things. It also rains ALOT here and I dont want to put my car through a winter. Dont get me wrong I do drive my car as much as I can, but its a 10 minute drive on post to and from work and the speed limit is 30 mph average. Why waste the gas?

My truck is definately pretty ballsy though, its got a 350 with a 5 speed. Ive put some imports and even the old 93-97 styled mustangs to shame. Not to shabby for a old *** pick up.

When the T/A comes out of surgery, it will be a DD. These cars were meant to be driven, not sit in the garage.

I DD mine and I think more fun to drive it everyday than not. I get a smile on the way to work and on the way home.
