I do. Better mileage and more fun that my wife's SUV.
Worthless at towing the boat though.

Mine is daily driven (with a spool, stall, and drag radials) except in the winter months. I drive to and from the track as well.

I DD my LS1 camaro with full bolt-ons and 87,000 miles. I have had all of the minor issues like window motors, squeeky pullies, Vats, but never anything major that left me stranded. Wife is going to DD the TBSS we just bought. It is a 2006 with 19,000 miles, cammed and stalled.

Started Daily driving mine this passed year. 150k on the engine. 300-350miles per tank(with a/c on windows motors are both out). Drive 100mi trip on work days. Only issues I've had are the window motors and the a/c drain tube got gunked up on me. Fixed that with a coat hanger.
