Can I ask what job you have?

I voted daily driver since in times of nice weather the SS is available for my wife to drive to work every day if she wants to...and she usually wants to! She sometimes changes up and drives my 09 BMW Z4, which she also likes to drive. I car pool with a friend but for the days I have to drive I bought a used 08 Mazda6 as a commuter car. I just bought winter wheels/tires for the BMW and the Mazda, so the Camaro will be tucked away in the garage most of the winter. On the really bad days the Yeti (15 Ram 2500 Laramie w/6.4 Hemi) will get the call, but we rarely get much snow around here.

Speaking of winter tires I have a brand new set of 4 Blizzaks mounted on a very nice set of brand new aluminum spoke wheels that came off of my 15 Camaro LT if anyone is interested. Had them on the 15 for about 2 weeks before I traded it for the 16 SS. Maybe 200 miles on them! In perfect condition! (In the Pacific Northwest)

Occasional driver here. When I need a pick me up or cheer up I fire her up.

Occasional driver here, only cause I work from home...

Once I get my car it will not be my daily driver but I do plan on driving it more than a couple of times a week. I just plan to avoid driving in any type of precipitation. Since I live in the south, I don't have to worry about storing the car for the winter.

daily.. and Ive already been to Vegas twice lol first trip i had 28 miles when i went... 1700 today had it 4 weeks next week avg 26mpg both times

mariojmoe · 10-22-2016, 08:44 PM

daily driver here. I'm a poor guy and can't afford to buy something for the occasional use. I am modding it and dailying the shi* out of it. I'm in Houston so no need for storage here. I also have my 2016 Tundra 4x4 platinum but it's more fun in the ss. After maybe 3 years it'll get sold and I'll get something else I'm sure

IH8WNTR · 10-23-2016, 04:15 PM

When I finally get my 1LE, it will be for occasional driving and track days. I drive a company service vehicle 70% of the time. My wifes 2012 Escape is what we use for most everything else.

Daily driver, 32 miles round trip to work.

2SS Convertible - Daily Driver

At the moment, I'm putting on a lot of miles. Driving to Dallas 3 days a week. I will be taking the train all 5 days starting tomorrow so the miles should be much lower going forward.

Hi,

I am retired so I dive the HABU when ever it suits my mood (which is whenever I leave the house for any reason).

Kindest,

Donner

My 2SS is an occasional driver. I drive way too much for my job and it wouldn't be ideal for the winter weather. My daily driver is a '15 Durango R/T (28K miles and it's only a year old) and the wife's is a '16 Tahoe LTZ.

jingaling · 10-23-2016, 08:45 PM

I have a v6 1lt and I use mine occasionally... If it's raining, weekends or to run errands I'll use it. I work 25 miles from where I live and it's so much easier/faster to get to work on my motorcycle Lane splitting and going in the carpool Lane. If I lived closer to work I'd probably just use the camaro.
