yeah buddy, I daily drive mine.... for the moment anyway. Just had a new street ported motor and single turbo put in- with all the goodies. The car was nine months in the works so needless to say I am super excited to drive it and make up for lost time.
I drive the car all the time rain or shine, but it is mainly to break the motor in. I want to put 2000-2500 miles on the new motor before I start boosting. Then I will probably start driving the tahoe again.

I've put 10,000 on my current setup at 14ish psi. and I DD the car.

I had 18,000 on my last setup before I turned the boost controller up too far. My Bad Yo!

The guy I bought the car from blew the original motor (99,500miles) after he started to mod the hell out of it.

I bought my FD halfway through my TII swap in the FC. The FD has since blown up (85Kmi.) making my newly boosted FC the DD. only crappy part is it's overboosting due to the custom 2.5" exhaust, and I don't have another car to drive so's I can fix that problem.

33k miles of daily driving over the last 4 years.....minus the 5 months down for the rebuild!

Most of those miles were with a downpipe, catback, intake, SMIC, and PFC.

Current mods are in signature....but the car will no longer be a daily driver after this week. The engine's fully broken in now and the daily driver purchased...

I kind of recently got my Fd. Been DD since then except when i did the street port. down for about less then a month. I had it for 6 months now and love DD it. Leave the boost low but when i see another turbo car crank it right back up to 14 psi and see if he want some. I had no problems with it since the rebiult. Drivin the Fd is like a reward EXCEPT when ur at the gas station fillin up for 50$!!!!

Almost DD. They salt the roads here, so I will not drive in the slush or the nasty weather. Car chasis has ~165K miles, so what would be the point in "saving" it? That approach should be for a car with relatively low miles. The highlight of my day is a drive in the FD.

I put about 5k miles on her this year, and will drive it in nice weather next year also. It is very well maintained with many new parts. I will eventually swap the engine and go another 100K.

"HAHA" I used to be like that? Now I just DD my FD everywhere. My friends ask me not to long ago, why I didn't drive my beater cr. I told them I would, once my FD's engine blew.
