GTO is for daily driving, Formula is for the drag strip, and the WS6 is for cruises and stuff.... and yeah, at least one of then ends up sitting, but I try to rotate them around.

I have 20+ cars pretty much at all times but most are in some form of repair or project... and I only keep insurance on 5-6 at a time... so there goes the majority...

then it just depends where I'm goin...

vette stays parked in the rain and all winter. so the 06 passat gets **** duty or the f350 or ds650. when the suns shining in the spring, summer and fall, im either in the vette, or on the r1, or on the the road star warrior, or on the jet boat, or the jetski. im always trying to decide what to do

Drive the 99 formula the most. Vette comes out occassionally on weekends. 93 formula gets driven if the 99 is down and its too poopy for the vette. Take the trailblazer ss to cart the dog around.

I'm sure you mean the people who have more than 1 car meant to be fun, right?

Anyways I got a 4runner for crappy days and now, snow, and also for school and work (parking lots with a lot of obnoxious kids, z stays home!). The camaro comes out nicer days, around town, and sometimes to work and school if I won't be there long. Or atleast that's how it WILL be, only just for the 4runner so the z can sit pretty

I decided to make the SS my garage queen and only take it out on Friday night for the weekend but Sunday evening it gets detailed and stuck back in the garage. The Trans Am is my DD simply because it has more miles on it and the sound system is much better to listen to on the drive to and from work. Right now however they are both garage queens till I get home.

I usually drive the the LT1 car for DD duty for a few reasons it has more on it already I guess but mostly because with the smaller cam then the LS1 car (CC305vsMS4) it drives nicer and gets better gas mileage

The 2000 SS is my daily driver and I take the 70 SS396 out for a spin when it's clear out. I've had the 70 out at least once a week all winter except the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas. There were too many idiots on the road causing accidents so I figured it was safer in the garage. When my 69 Z28 is done being restored I'll probably sell it, but if I keep it then it will be tough deciding between the 70 and the 69.

94 Grand Cherokee is the DD. I use it to tow, drive in traffic, go through a foot of snow, ect. I will puddle jump with that thing.


The Camaro will come out for my 1/2 days on friday at work over the summer and weekend cruising and goin to the race track.

I drive my Maxima whenever there is snow, salt, or rain on the roads, to work 90% of the time, and when I need to take more than one person along. Drive my Z pretty much the rest of the time.

I think a lot of people with multiple cars just close their eyes and point at what car they'll drive that day. LOL

We have 5 cars, 93 Eclipse Turbo AWD, currently sitting in the drive way with no motor, pulled it out and is the current project car, don't ask me why my hubby is doing this. He says he wants to learn about something other then a F-body. Never thought I would see the day with him driving a fart can around.

90 Jeep Cherokee usually is the beater vehicle until lately when the fuel injectors have decided to leak consitantly, so its down now for new injectors possibly a water pump too. *rolls eyes*

97 Firebird Formula -a.k.a. T/A see sig, well she's permenently down for a while needs a motor.

99 Camaro SS-a.k.a. HOSS - doing well just sits in the driveway most of the time and is taken out on weekends occasionally, I think we're lucky if we put 2,000 miles on it a year.

06 Honda Civic Hybrid - This is our main work car, needed something dependable with all the vehicle issues. Usually when our vehicles are up and running on a good week we'll just point and pick what to drive that week.
