My last TA was a daily driver. My new on just sits in the garage. When I changed jobs, a company vehicle was part of the deal.

Ya! No joke! There are still a lot of things I want, too. But remember whoever dies with the most stuff wins.

Yep! I bought it to be a daily driver, I've had plenty of garage queens in the
past and always kick myself for not getting them out. I just can't seem to enjoy
paying insurance and just looking at it.

my 00 is daily driven but i still dont drive to much at all. my 84 i put over 1000 miles on it in one day with a lot of gas stops going on average about 130mph , most i have put on the 00 in one day was probly 300.. but i only put about 5k on my 00 in 2 yrs i live less than a half mile from work, and use other vehicles for most of the far drives ( i only drive far usually to get stuff i need to use a truck to bring back) 00 is still under 70k miles total 64 when i purchased it. the 84 has turned over the od three or four times (and still ran before i took the orginal 305 out in favor of a recent install of a 355. about 4k miles on the 355 including the 1k mile trip.

I drive it daily and I think I am way too old for the car. I call it my old age
crisis car.
