Yes, actually I do. But I want to get another one that's not so perfect, so I won't be so worried about drivng it all the time.

I drive 37 miles each way to work, all highway driving, and the stones/road debris/salt/etc. really give any car quite a beating under those conditions. I just can't do that to my Camaro, it's too perfect to mess it up now.....

I enjoy working on cars more than driving them. My last f-body was a daily driver but I sold it. I'm happier now driving my Corolla and being able to work on the f-body at my leisure.

I daily drive my f-body from March to November. Rain or shine. Where ever I go, my F-body follows! I love these cars and wouldn't have it either way. Besides, I pay way to much money on insurance to let it be a garage queen!

I don't see how some of you guys don't want to drive your cars everyday. Mine gets 12k miles a year from me, and I enjoy every single one of them. I have no intention of getting another (cheaper/econo-style) car, because I know I would want to drive this one every day. That's just me though...
