For about the first year and a half that I had mine, it was used as a daily driver. Great way to make the commute to work.

daily driver
Daily driver here except when the Pennsylvania winter prevents it. She'll be two years old on April 20th and has 68,000 miles on her. The daily commute to NJ is 64 miles each way and I love every bit of it.

However this is NJ and my C5 doesn't do well in snow and ice. In addition, our whacko drivers become worse when the weather gets bad, and I don't like the thought of people sliding into me. If the roads are clear, it goes out every day. However I still need another car to lug around my camera gear for photo shoots and stuff from Home Depot.

Driving every day somehow diminishes the thrill that you wait for at the end of the work week.

I split my daily drive between the vette and my avalanche. Pretty days are for the vette, nasty days are for the av.

Mine's not a daily driver, but only because I'm retired and have no place to go 
Most important thing is for you to own your possessions, do not allow them to own you. For myself, I wouldn't own a garage queen don't see the sense in it?
