Default Is your f-body a daily driver?

I'm getting closer and closer to buying my first car and I was thinking whether I'd want it as a daily driver. I don't have the money to buy both an F-body and a daily driver also. But I think I would save money in the long-run. Maybe get a POS Civic for 1-2 thousand.

Anyways, how many of you guys use your f-bodies as daily drivers and never had a problem??

ive been daily driving this since march of 06, best car ive owned yet, gets great mileage for a v8. the only compliant i would say is that the backseat and trunk are small and that can be a problem at times. do it, its a great car.

If I were you I would buy a POS Civic *** a runner and use the Camaro as a weekend warrior. But That's just me. I enjoy my car more that way and it stays nice and clean that way.

i had a rusty beat up s10 that was my daily driver until i bought my car, i was considering to daily drive the s10 still and use my trans am for a fun car/weekend car but after having the car for a few days i couldn't resist daily driving it

its hard to go one day without driving it
