Mine's a 1/5th sometimes 2/5th daily driver. Hate to park it outside my office in the parking lot of a small shopping center - but love looking at it from my window. And cringe when little old ladies park beside it and swing their doors out wide. Its not the driving everyday that concerns me; its the parking in the elements - human and nature.
BTW drove it today and was 2 of 2 with waves; one silver C5 vert and a yellow C4 coupe.
Not a kill story but "bugged" a Mini Cooper S to pull over on a two-lane blacktop since it wasn't even driving the limit or being driven like a Mini

It was my DD in Vegas and I put 25k on it.
Since I got back to England, with the higher gas prices it now comes out occasionally.

Last Thursday, I bought a 2005 13,XXX mile Z51 C6/A6 coupe in BLACK, no less, that will be my DD once my Acura comes off lease in late May. I bought it for the express purpose of driving it rain or shine. It is currently VERY clean and seems a shame to subject it to road debris, dirt and such. I drive roughly 15k mi/yr. This thing is going to get some seat time.
But if I need a treat on the weekends, I have my 1970 SS Chevelle.

The Vette is my DD. With a Harley being my only other ride, it gets a bit too cold in the winter for that! For me anyway. I see a few guys that ride around here year-round in any weather.Brrrrr.

Mine's a DD too. I drive it every chance I get. I have the option of taking cars from work for quick trips around town and 90% of the time I still drive the Vette.
My ex had a G37 Coupe and when I still had my Honda S2000, I always wanted to drive her car if we went somewhere, as soon as I got the Vette, I lost interest in driving even that brand new infiniti.
I've wanted one of these since I was a little kid, now i just don't wanna drive anything else, I've almost put 11,000 miles on her since I bought her in September last year.

When I owned the black 1993 GMC Z-71 I would wash it 3 times a week....Im extremely **** about keeping my stuff clean.....I bought it in 1993 and sold it in 2004....When I replaced it with the 2004 Silverado 4x4 in 2004 I decided it was time for a change....WHITE!!!...Once a week at the car wash 
...Besides, I have enough black "toys"...not to mention wifey's DD (2002 Monte SS) is burgundy, which is almost as bad as black
