Driven everyday, even in the snow. Been that way for 17 years now...don't see any reason to change. When it's really bad (icey) I telework.

I've had my GT for about 9-1/2 years. Was daily driver for the first 4-1/2 years, then bought a Toyota Tundra truck and drove it until 5 months ago. With the economy the way it is, had to sell the truck, so the GT is back to daily driver duty. I used to worry about putting too many miles on, but that's what these cars are made for... DRIVING!!!

Florida weather makes it pretty easy to be a daily driver. If its raining I will generally drive something else, but mine is definiltey at least a 5-day a week driver.

If I leave mine home for any length of time I am punished with a temper tantrum on our next outing together.
I have learned she is much happier getting out and about everyday.
She has been quite a little bitch lately though, not to fond of sharing the garage with her older "euro" sister.

Whenever the weather is nice, so that is mostly in the summer, or March thru November. I have to drive the 4-wheel drives something or they would get upset.

Paul,

What are your tires like? I swear , mine is really good in the snow. I bought some close-out Blizzaks and threw them on some cheap manhole cover wheels and they lock up great.

I too envy our comrades in the warmer climates, but in the Chicago area there is just too much road salt during the winters, and i cannot have my queen rusting...

Driven virtually every day for the last 10 years... no regrets and not very many issues... never failed to drive it home - except with a few no-starts due to battery failure...

What's this snow thing everyone is so worried about... never seen it here....
