Drive it everyday to work ... lots of Carrera's and Carerra 4's try to pick on me and it's a lot of fun letting them know their kazilllion $ sports car is slow like molassas. They seem to be intimidated by the dual exhaust. Love seeing cry ... after they smile so big thinking they're going to take advantage of me.

DD in any warm weather (rain or shine). Garage stored in the winter. It's a lot more fun than the winter truck.

No longer my daily driver. Retired (at least until next April) after five years of forced daily duties. Now I can concentrate on having fun when I drive it.

Been my DD since purchased new 12/98, unless the weather is not cooperating. Have others to drive but just aren't near as much fun. Have a couple of garage queens though - 67 Firebird and 84 Porsche 928S

hell yes I daily drive my F-body. Most of the pickups I see hauling loads through the mud and snow are worth twice as much as my car, so why not? Life is too short to make a garage queen out of an F-Body!

every day! why have it if I can't enjoy it? As mentioned above, life is short, so enjoy it today while you can. Who knows what tomorrow may hold.

I daily drive mine... putting on pretty much 12k a year.

I take it to school/work.

if I found a good deal on a beater, i'd probably consider it. my insurance is still pretty high tho and i really like driving my car. hate putting miles on it..
it's just a give/take i guess.

weather is good here in AZ to DD all year long.

You know what would be revealing? Divide this poll up for those that live in snow/salt climates and those that don't.

I daily drive mine, no problem, live about 1.3 miles from work, use it to and from work, popping out to get the shopping, take it to car clubs, shows etc... and put about 10K on it per year.
Weather is damp a couple of months per year, sunny for a couple of months, if we have snow it may only last 1 week, so its no ever the extreme of anything.
Even on the hotest day, I can sit in traffic for 30mins before my fans some on.
