Mine is more and more "becoming" a daily driver. I haven't sold my "other" car yet, so I still drive it if I know it's gonna rain. But, I've found that on those days, I don't have something to look forward to at the end of the workday, like I do when I drive the Corvette. So, the other car is sitting more and more now......and I'm having a lot more fun! :D

Bought my '90 to be a daily driver and all-around "practical" car to accompany my '76 T/A. Isn't life grand when a Corvette is the practical decision? :)

well..it's either the 87, or my 75 chevy truck, or my 93 Saturn SC2. It all depends on what I feel like driving that day. (Or what'll start! :D)

I bought the vette in April with 38k miles, and I just turned 40k over the weekend. I drive 50 miles round trip every day to work and back. I'll probably wind up with nearly 10k miles on it this summer before I put it away for the winter nap.

I wish I could drive mine daily but in the constrution business it's hard to beat up subcontractors when you're driving a Corvette :D SO the Explorer does the daily deeds.
