Every day for me. My commute to work is 50 miles total. I do plan on keeping the car for a long time, but the mileage doesn't concern me. I take care of my car and have no doubts that it will last a very very long time. I honestly enjoy driving the car too much to drive anything else while an amazing piece of machinery sits in my garage.

mine is an occasional occasional driver. For rain and winter I use my 2014 Grand Cherokee. nice weather/summer I alternate between the camaro and my 2016 wrangler JKU. I will drive the wrangler in the winter, but I don't take it out in the bad weather (snow etc). The salt and chemicals they put the roads out here are horrific...let them destroy the leased GC.

I love driving it too, but I get sooooo torn on beautiful days whether to take the camaro or throw the top down on the jeep....I hate to say it but 75% of the time I choose the jeep.

I said daily but I do not drive it every day. I have 2 other vehicles that I drive sometimes too but I would say that I drive the Camaro the most.

Daily driver and my only car.
Not sure if I should have more than one being single w/ no dependents..
But seeing how I got a couple of rock chips on the bumper and a bullseye in the windshield within 3 weeks of ownership, I'm thinking whether it'll make more sense to have a beater for daily commute.

Daily driver here. Luckily I only drive around 30-40 miles per day on average. I love each and every mile in this car.

I picked daily driver. However, I have 3 other vehicles to choose from and I am likely to pick another one to drive from time to time. I work from home 1-2 days a week and only have 14 mile round trip commute when I do go in to the office.

The SS is still my favorite and I drove it today.

Jeep 60%, Camaro 40%. It is garaged in the winter and rainy days, otherwise I would drive it daily.

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.
May I ask how you get $50 on insurance for the Prius?

May I ask what you do for your job? Are you satisfied with your income? Just looking for opportunities to start in life.
