Default Would you use your classic as a daily driver?

I'm curious to see how many of you guys use your car as a daily driver. The reason I ask is I want to start using my 68 as a daily driver, but due to theft, weather and other factors I am kind of hesitant to.

The only issue I have with using my car that way is having a place to park it. I don't trust people to not door ding it. I park in a ramp, and there's some great places in there that would be ideal (nobody on either side), but those spots are taken really early. So while I'd consider driving it to work, there's no way I'd take it to the grocery store. lol

My '66 Mustang Convertible is now my daily driver.....but the paint is, um, "patina'd" and I don't have to worry about door dings.

Right. Arizona is known for being frosty this time of year.

Nope. My "classic" is purpose built. I want an experience that is different than what I want for my daily driver, which I use for a 75 mile round trip drive every day. For my "recreation" driving in my classic, I like a more aggressive exhaust, top down, don't care about A/C, don't care about fuel economy. That's part of what makes it "special"
