wow, the daily driver guys win. I am the exception!

 

I take her out once or twice a week just for fun. I have a company truck for my DD to and from work. I treat this car better than my wife.. Just kidding dear

 

mine used to be a DD but then i got a gsxr and you just can't beat it in LA traffic. The vette stays under the car cover most of the week now :-)

 

 

DD And all 84,000 miles

 

85,262 DD 70 mile commute. Bring out the truck for the really crappy weather.

 

Non-DD. Purely a weekend fun car. DD's are BMW 325I and Land Rover Disco II

 

Mine is a DD. 98 w/ 87K on clock. Drove it when temps got to 5 degree F and had a little snow on street. With a manual trans it actualy handled pretty good. Would not advise driving if the snow is say over 4 inches, it looks like it would be a plow.

 

I swap out with a Dodge Ram hemi, when the weather is good.

 

My '04 Coupe, with 29.8K, is my DD. I also have it setup for Autocross/Track. So it rides a tad rougher on the bumpies than stock but it doesn't bother me. I do change tires when I go to the track. About the only thing I will be doing different than most is flushing and refilling my transmission & differential at least once a year and changing as needed (never going more than 3 months now) power steering, brake fluid, and oil . I use Redline for all my fluids. It is probably over kill, but after boiling my power steering fluid and almost losing all of the fluid (save what was in the steering rack) while going into turns at 70, I decided caution was now in order.

 

My DD is a Seville STS. I hate to commute in congested Socal traffic in the vette. Needless runup in miles and I don't want to get hit.

 

Way to go guys!! I have no idea why some of these Vette owners leave it parked in the garage and strive to put as few miles as possible on it. Drive it!! Enjoy it!! The motors in these C5's are great.

 

Every dry day here...I thought I would drive it less but it's impossible to keep it in the garage. Even after the H/C I do DC traffic just so I can hit it once of twice... Plus it gets a lot better milage than the Tahoe. 13k last year but that includes a couple of 1k trips.

 

corvette is dd from april through october. got a couple of jeeps for the rest of the year.

 

Drive mine year round except when snow/ice on the roads. Great for long trips also. Great gas mileage on trips. About 17 in rush hour traffic.

 

DD in a Corvette for the last 15 years - 2 C4s and my current C5 - never let me down

 

My wife and I drive ours to work on Fridays, weather permitting. Otherwise, she drives an Impala, and I a ZR2 S10.

 

DD? Well it didn't start out that way but with the price of gas over the summer it did end up that way. Daily commute is around 60 miles a day and with the Ford pickup it was costing close to $400.00 a month in fuel.

Started driving the Vette just to ease the pain somewhat and was really racking up the mileage. Now don’t get me wrong I never intended this thing to be a garage queen but this car is special and I didn’t buy it for this purpose. I worried myself to death about were to park it and I also work at night and that in its self poses its own problems.

The biggest concern however(at least for me)was driving the car everyday caused that special feeling to wear off somewhat, I would live for the weekends to come just to jump in the Vette and head down the road not going anywhere just cruising with a big grin.
After driving the car all week it just was not as much fun as it used to be and I really hated that so I knew I needed to find another way.

Another way came in the form of a Diesel VW Jetta, found one for $4000.00 which was a great deal because the diesels are going for a premium now because of the fuel prices.
My fuel bill has drop to less then $100.00 a month! and the much beloved fun factor is beginning to return.

DD here in KC!

 

Mine's not my DD (I drive it 2-3 times per week), but my brother-in-law drives his every day. 75k+ miles and no problems.
