Anyone else's Camaro their commuter car and not their weekend car? - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Mine is a Company Car. I paid the extra to get the upgrade. I got my Camaro at the end of July and now have 9,900 miles on it. I don't drive it in the bad weather that's what the Traverse is for.

Grocery store, Shopping Mall, Eating in, no garage, rain, All those horrible things happen in my car

I bought Ruby to be my DD. She was my one and only DD for a year & a half then I started alternating with driving my husband's Crossfire to help keep some of the miles off Ruby. Sometimes now I miss driving her. I get aggrivated sometimes that I need to drive Ruby in the worst weather because she keeps me safer, but I love that about her. I hate it that the days I can drive the Crossfire to keep some miles off Ruby are the nice days when I'd love to be driving Ruby. It is a rather twisted tale Huh? I drove Ruby today & it was a beautiful day. It was NICE!

^Same. I got tired of driving crappy beaters so I DD my newest vehicles anymore. It's also like why pay all the money not to use and enjoy it? I bought my Camaro for a DD. Why not drive comfortably in something you enjoy driving? I gave up on using junky beaters six years ago, heh.

Mine is DD. I have owned mine since Dec '09 and have 27,7xx miles. Unfortunately my bumper shows it, but overall I am satisfied with her

LOL, out of all these replies this is the only guy that followed my original post.

It got me thinking about my Camaro and I thought it was funny that I only drive Ginger during the week and Drive The Beast on the weekends.

Anyone else have one of these reverse situations?

Any car thats fun to drive does not make a garage queen. I drive mine in rain, sleet or sun.

2 months in and just rolled 5600 on it. Bought it at 5 after my test drive. Yeah I drive a lot. 50 miles round trip to work 5-6x a week, and 60 miles RT to college 2x a week. I drive it when I need to be somewhere. My wife drives her 05 Envoy everywhere as well. I am actually looking for a beater car for work travel, because I'll be out of warranty in less than 3 years at my rate lol. If I don't find one will I worry...Nope! I bought this thing to put some miles on it and have

'ed every since.

I drive mine as often as possible !

LS3 SS · 04-25-2012, 07:20 AM

Daily Driver. 25k with almost two years of ownership.

I used to have a 97 Ford ranger that I attempted to use as a Daily, and only drive the Camaro on Friday through Sunday. After two weeks of putting around in it during the week, I got tired of it and decided that since I bought the car, I want to drive it. Turned around, sold the Ranger to one of my Soldiers, and used the money to purchase this
