Two in the family is awesome! Glad to hear no issues with either one.

I am heading north to Missouri in a few days. I am looking forward to dancing through the Ozark Mountains.

I like the seats better than in my 2016 Camaro 2SS, FWIW.

No issues at the road course or drag strip?

I drive mine most days, but have an F150 when it's raining.

I drive 5 days a week to work with ~8 miles round trip. And I put another 150-200 miles during the weekends which includes drive to the mountains.
Having the mag ride in the ZL1 works out as a great daily driver and a fun weekend car.

Sounds like the perfect car! Have always read good things about the mag ride.

Yes, it has been great. Garage kept, washed regularly, it even still smells new inside. No farting in it.

Mine was my DD for the first 6 months of its life

Drive me baby mostly 5 days a week to and from the office. (28 miles each way)

I go in late so no traffic and mostly leave late also, again no traffic. Makes for one hell of a fun commute. I'm on the I-5 to the I-405 and then back

Think its the best part of work

(The Commute)

We have a 2014 Honda Odyssey Elite (Wife's) they we mostly use on the weekends for family hauling.

Mine has been my DD since I bought it in March of last year. My commute is exactly 50 miles one way, though I work rotating shifts and not M-F. Nearly all of it is freeway/highway. I have had no hesitation regarding using the car as a daily, aside from when it rains hard, which doesn't happen often here. These cars have A LOT of rubber beneath them, and they hate driving across standing water.

After 14 months, I have about 44k miles on the car, and aside from some irritating brake noise, the car has been flawless. I bought a set of factory take-off wheels and tires shortly after buying the car, and in that span of time, I have been through 2 sets of OEM tires, and just put a set of Michelin PS4S on the car two months ago. I can already tell that the wear on the Michelins will be noticeably better than the Goodyears.

I am doing my own oil changes, and have been using Mobil 1 since 500 miles. I switched to the new oil spec on the last change, (OW-40 ESP) which roughly doubled my material costs for oil changes, but still worth doing myself.
