If the road conditions are lousy, I'd prefer to drive my SUV.

But if that's what you want to do -- Have at it.

Some can drive their car daily... some can not. Its just not practical for a daily driver for some of us.

I'm a self employed contractor and also require my DD truck for work.

Purchased the "04 Z for the simple pleasures of weekend cruises, date nights, and car shows. I've accrued only about 1100mi/yr and have no issues admitting so. These were my intentions all along.

For those of you who can drive them as DD and more, I salute you. It's truly what they were meant for you. But for me it's just for family recreational enjoyment.

I too have a car that is paid for by work. I need to use it as well, so mine cannot be a DD. With the way the roads are around here and the way people have NO RESPECT for other cars in parking lots, I dont feel one bit bad about mine not being a DD. Just my opnion!
