Is your 40th a daily driver?

LMBmikeZ · 06-01-2010, 11:48 PM

yes, but only 6 months of the year, and never if ANY salt on the roads is a risk! I won't pull her out till mid to late april next year! and sometime in november this year she can go away so no Z Nov-April approx.

I drive my Z Monday-Friday (and atleast 1 a month Sat and Sun too). I put about 100 miles on the car a day

...that's all I can do since this is my only car. Thinking of purchasing an old truck or something so i can use but it does look that good with financial right now!!

Daily driver here...about 35 miles a day so it's not too bad

Daily driver. Short drive to work and so much fun to drive.

^^congrats!! enjoy her!

Only 9 miles 1 way to work and 20 miles one way to church on Sunday. At least 80% of that is on the highway. Too much fun not to drive everyday! We also have a 4 wheel drive Pathfinder if needed for winter driving.

Just picked mine up on July 31st, originally with 11 miles, but I drove it off the lot with 25 - they had to drive it in from another dealer; both other 40th's drove off without me in the prior two weeks.

That car will be a DD - 26 miles round trip. I need to find some good back roads to drive...

I bought my July 24th and have already put almost 500 miles on the car

It is my daily driver, but that much mileage isn't normal for me. I had to drive 2 hours away for a wedding. My work commute is only 6 miles, but I have to go home for lunch to let my dogs out. So I probably average 15 miles a day.

Well, you can look at the bright side - you're closer to break-in.

I think 80 mile since you got the car is way too less then what it should be. cars are meant to drive not put inside the garag to see it shining. just saying it

dont have any hard feelings though
