Default Daily Driver Or Not

How many use their Pt as the daily driver or use them only for shows or nice weekends?

Almost a daily driver for me as I have other cars, so I've been able to keep the mileage down to 10K a year for the last 10 years.

Mine was bought as my toy to replace the last toy I had for 24 years! This one will be equally spoiled! I have a co. car for a daily driver.

Daily driver, I have always believed cars were meant to be driven. I almost bought a 67 Camaro last summer now that would be a 2nd car.

Mine's a daily driver. Storing your car more than you drive it only causes accelerated wear and tear. Rubber pieces such as hoses, belts, and tires will start to dry rot if not driven on a regular basis.

It's also my opinion that these cars don't make good show cars. Not only are they extremely common and a dime a dozen, but they're currently still in production! There's nothing "special" or "rare" about these cars! Just the unique design! That's just my opinion, though
