Daily driver, even in the snow (well, anything under 4 inches of snow). I run two sets of wheels & tires. Chrome spokes & GY EMT summer tires and gray wagon wheels with GY EMT M&S for the white stuff.

The first year or so that I had mine, it was a daily driver. However, the past four years, I have had another daily driver. Sure makes keeping the car clean a lot easier.

My '04 is my DD and I drive about 50 miles each day to work and back. It gets as good mileage as any of my other cars. Of course running errands and dealing w/ parking lots is kind of a pain when you worry about where you are parked.

Mine's a DD. It's my first Vette and I bought it about 2.5 weeks ago. It had 4700 miles when I bought it and I think it has ~5600 (a lot were from the road trip back from where I bought it). This car has some catching up to do

DD for my 03 mn6 vette. I ordered it and watched it made in Bowling Green (I Live in Louisville so it is a short trip to the plant). The first 2 years it was my only car. So it went or I did not go. I found a 95 ford ranger (yep, I know I sinned, a blue oval on my property) pick-up to haul stuff in. Well I since the winter has gotten here drive the truck on errands, I can park it any where and I do not care.
My 97 Z-28 was my DD before the 03 vette. I love torque, power and the GM small block V-8's.

Every Day
Bought first Corvette two years ago-- C4 Coupe.. 140K on the clock---daily driver immediately. Upgraded to '97 C5 this year. 43K on the clock. Drive it everyday (unless there's ice- which is seldom). It's my ray of sunshine every morning and evening in Seattle. They are meant to be driven..

I drive a 96 Toyota Tacoma with 99000 miles as my daily driver. Next week though I am trading this in on a 05 ford escape V6. I like the different cars during the week. The vet sort of rewards me on the week ends.

'98 Coupe A4, , DD, overall very reliable....
Needed new engine belts recently, and I'll have to do the exchange on the dual climate control soon as the display is dimming...a common problem. Other thatn that we have been problem free for slightly over a year of ownership and driving EVERY day in rain and shine.

DD 02 w/ 57K miles & no tickets--yet 
. I also have a GMC Sierra 1500 pickup. I drive it occassonally and always when the weather is ugly, i.e., rain, sleet, snow, etc.
Was concerned at first about putting miles on it and was driving pickup most of the time. Then, I figured that I might as well enjoy it and when its worn out, I'll just buy another.
