I couldn't function without driving my car everyday.
It never gets old to me. Sure, it's getting more of a beating but I'm getting my moneys worth :roflmao:

I drive the shit out of mine in spring, summer and fall months. Last year from march to november I put 15k on it. It kills me in the winter to make payments and not drive it

This will be my 3rd year as my daily driver. When it snows, I don't drive it though simply because it is plain dangerous to try, so I will drive my truck.

Nope, track only now. It used to be a DD until it became more and more track focused and, in turn, less and less practical for daily use. The final straw came when I removed the AC and there's no way in the world that it could be used as a DD out here without AC! :onfire:

My 07 is DD'd. We have had a blower on the car for over 30K miles, driven through blizzards, hot, cold, etc. The car has 45K miles on it now.

Not many people DD their S/C cars :)

I DDed mine since Mar 2009 until I got my R1. I take it on nice days when the weather is good. The Mustang is my poor weather/rain vehicle. Heck, I even had the drag radials bolted on for this last round of ice/snow we got here in the DFW area. I got some crazy looks from people, but it did just fine. You just have to drive smart. Last year I got caught in the nasty snow storm just before Christmas...that was a fun one. Only got stuck once and that was because the idiot in front of me stopped. The normal 3 hour drive took me 6 that day. Yuck. Either way, with the exception of gas mileage, the car makes a great DD.

Mine is a fair weather car only and usually hibernates in the garage from late Oct. to early April. The mileage tells the tale as it is an '07 and has ~ 8.5K miles.

I DD mine, picked it up in the worst snowstorm we had in years and was surprised how well it handled it. I just dont like to take it out in the salt but other than that, even with the blower, its my daily driver. I have a couple other cars/trucks, but for right now a 10 second capable (with DRs of course) stock looking GT that gets 23-24mpg on the highway is my driver of choice.

DD mine about 120 miles per week. Drove it in the snow twice this year and it did fine. It used to be a weekend car but I sold my lifted 2500 Silverado(12 mpg sucks!) and paid off some bills. Hopefully going to get a gas saver next year and stop DD the Stang. Its an 05 and it is only has 56k miles, not too bad.
