I've been reading and a lot of people seem to use their car for weekend driving or don't drive it everyday. I drive mine everyday, I paid for it so I want to enjoy it everyday. Why would anyone not want to drive such a fun car everyday???

 

i don't drive it everyday because i figure the less i drive it the less chance it has to break

no seriously though i'm not driving it because the clutch is just about toast

 

Usually it's every other day....But if I have no choice, I'll have to drive it every day. And yes, it's my only car as of now.

 

I drive my car everyday, no problems so far *knock on wood*.

everyday...for now

see ya,

Got My CYM in Feb of 93, and it's been my daily driver ever since. It's had one occasion when I didn't drive it for about 2 months (rebuild) but other than that, it has been my sole means of transportation.

 

CYM is my garage queen
BB is my daily....unless it snows or rains....

 

When running (which it is not now), my FD is my daily driver. My 88 TII (currently a restoration project) is my "give the FD a rest" car of choice. My beat up 1987 Volvo wagon with >300K trouble free miles on it is my ever dependable backup. (BTW yearly Volvo maintenence has less than $100 including oil and filters---hell, I've never touched the engine and only replaced one clutch). God I wish Mazda could make a car with the performance and looks of the FD or FC and the dependability and longevity of my Volvos.

 

I want to drive it every day when I wake up... Then I remember what a booring bullshit ride I have to work and take the jeep. Using my 7 for getting from A to B is bullshit. I reserve it for when I can DRIVE. I still drive it to work 2 of 5 times though. But I get frustrated driving it every day. The other cars on the road are just too much of a pain.

 

I drive mine everyday. I cant get 5 miles without boosting.. damn habits..

Plus I get people with porches and vipers asking me about my car . Also a guy with a green 96 NSX.

 

During the summer time I drive the FD as much as I can, unless I'm tearing into it with some mods or something. On really nice cool days, I take out my bike.

When winter comes, it's back to my Passat..

 

Everyday here. My 86 Sport is down right now.
Why wouldn't you want to drive an FD everyday???
Cars are made for driving!

 

Mine is daily driven. Almost 35,000 miles in under two years along with more than 20 autox events a year. The motor lost an apex seal at the track at 98,313 miles last month and and she already has a couple thousand on the new motor.

I figure I bought the car to drive and it goes everywhere: long trips, work, grocery store...But my favorite place to take her is the race track and put on the slicks! Woohoo!

 

I daily drive mine - 23k+ miles in the past 12 months! and over 43K since I bought it in Jan 2000.

 

I am daily driving it this summer

 

I try to drive my FD everday unless it is raining. I also like to drive my 323 GTX (I like having a sleeper) so some days I have a difficult decision to make.

 

Daily here...

 

Summer driver, I can't drive mine through the winter here. That's Jeep time. Tom

 

I daily drive mine too, but I'm always on the lookout for a clean 1st or 2nd gen within driving distance. I would much rather put the daily work commute on a N/A rotary (read more reliable).

 

It's as much of a daily driver (since 9/92) as the rest of the garage.

 

Now that IS funny!

 

Mines been my daily driver since I bought it in April. It's either that or my old Talon TSi that's been sitting for 4 months and has developed a bit of a smoking problem... There are only two things that frustrate me about driving my FD every day... First, I spend a crapload on gas because I always seem to find myself taking the scenic route home... Second, nobody races me anymore because they all know my car by now, hah.

 

I've had my FD since 1996 and it has been my daily driver ever since, except for really hot days. Then I ride my sport bike. When I used to drive the 42 miles to Santa Clara, being in my seven was the only thing that made that shitty commute bareable. BTW, I live in San Francisco and love hitting 12 psi from stop light to stop light ... lol

Daily driver, until about 7 weeks ago. As soon as I get the motor replaced (I started tearing down this week!), it'll be back to daily driver. It's that or the 88 Escort I've been schmucking around in for the past 7 weeks....hmmmm....tough choice.

I've never understood why you would by such as awesome car, and then NOT drive it 75-95% of the time. I bought it to enjoy driving it, not enjoy looking at it. It's been driven in the rain, and snow, but the snow is more of a "damn, I didn't know it was going to snow!" thing. After getting stuck last winter, the Escort will be the car if there is even a *chance* of the white stuff.
