Daily driver or Occasional driver

reeper · 10-20-2016, 12:01 PM

For us it's an occasional driver. We mix it up with the vette so it really will not get many miles in a year. Stored during the winter.

My primary driver is a 2010 Chevy Silverarado 3/4 ton HD with the D/A combo. Wife uses a Tahoo

I go back and forth between this and the SS Sedan depending on my mood. The SS Sedan has 2,800 miles on it in nearly 6 months. I'll probably start putting a little more on the Camaro and a little less on the SS.

I did vote "daily driver" though because it is the car I use more.

Mine (when it arrives) will be a garage-kept occasional driver. I have a 2010 Toyota Prius that costs only $50/mo with insurance (which it pays for in gas savings). When the Prius is driven to the ground, I plan on replacing it with a Chevy Volt or Tesla Model 3.

My 2SS is getting a Gyeon Ceramic Coat, and I hope to keep it as shiny-new as I can until the gen 7 shows up.

Weekend car here. I have a modded EcoBoost Fusion as my daily driver...I drive 60 miles a day, so no way I'm going to put that much mileage on my Camaro that I plan to keep a long time. Plus, it makes it easier to keep it clean, as I am one anal SOB when it comes to my weekend cars.

So true. Before the Prius I had an 06 Pontiac GTO as my daily driver. I drive ALOT, and in 3 years I had 60k+ miles on that GTO. It eventually succumbed to the harsh forces of the road...chips, scratches, door dings, etc. I remember it was so glossy when I first had it, but after all that abuse the poor girl looked tired...

My gen6 is used as an occasional driver. My daily driver is a '02 2500HD, the wife's is a '15 4Runner. I also own a '87 Z28 street/strip car that sees even less miles each year.

Daily driver when the sun is out (Convertible!) and kept in garage in favor of my 2016 Colorado Z71 when the weather is bad or I need to carry crap around

I planned to use it as a weekend driver, but since Im getting great mpg's, the car is very comfortable I drive it every other week and on weekends weather permitting. The other car is a Range Rover Evoque.

Daily driver here. I work 12 hour shifts, 3-4 days a week and my drive to work is roughly 5 miles.

SoCalCamaro93 · 10-20-2016, 12:50 PM

Occasional. I commute 125 miles, round trip, a day. I switch between an old 90's beater that I have and the RS

tcbracing · 10-20-2016, 12:52 PM

Daily driver, 10 mile round trip commute to work, however, 2004 Grand Prix GTP for winter...

MovieGuy · 10-20-2016, 01:00 PM

Now that I'm retired both of my cars are occasional drivers. But my Camaro will be in the garage during bad weather

elementaltoad · 10-20-2016, 01:06 PM

I work from home now, so unfortunately all 6 of my cars are occasional drivers

TMasticTB91 · 10-20-2016, 01:15 PM

Daily driver and my only car! Although I work out of a home office as well so most of my driving is for fun
