Not in my climate, but if I lived somewhere with no snow then absolutley YES.

HEY! :_paranoid

Not up here in the great white north, but having a Duramax with 850ft lbs is lot's of fun when the snow flies.

If you are going to spend money on the car then you should drive it and enjoy it everyday. Cars are meant to be driven and today you can get an alarm with a mobile phone app so you know at all times where it is and if its safe. If someone was to take it you can kill the starter and let the cops know where the car is.

I would like to daily drive the '71 but the current work/living situation does not exactly allow it, sadly.

Daily Driver ALL the WAY !!
 

I will be driving DETONATOR daily, especially the 18 miles each way to work, as I work at the end of a twisting mountain road. If I wanted a car that I didn't want to drive daily, I would have put together a small block and a 4-speed, not an LS1/T56, and saved a TON of money and time. Hell, I'd be driving the car already.

The insurance, depreciation, cost of operation all go out the window when you consider those are all facts of life when you run any kind of car, and there really isn't much you can do to change those realities, it is just a cost factor, decide what you can afford and run with it. Yeah, insurance is a necessary evil, and I've never got a fair shake from the insurance companies, either at the front end or the back end. I don't get a fair shake when I look at my paycheck either, Uncle Sam and Jerry Brown take way too much, just a cost of having a job, no different than operating a car.

My 1967 Camaro was purchased in 1987 and sold in 1997, and I drove it daily when it was running, and that was a big block and 4-speed car. Would still be driving it if I didn't need a down payment on our first house in 1997. I guess it is in my blood.

Winter time I drive my slammed 69 c 10 summer is harley time

I believe this is KARR Security Systems you are referring to. Yes?

My wife has this installed in her '11 Challenger and it is indeed a very nice perk.

You can receive instant text messages when the car leaves a specified area. Or when it goes above a specified speed. However, contrary to what the dealer told us, the system cannot be accessed in underground parking lots. So, you car is vulnerable there. Still a nice product. I do wonder if, as the dealer claimed, more cops use this in their personal cars as opposed to lojack.

If I were ever to have the means :rofl: I would build a "daily driver"... Well, at least I would have it built. LOL

Shiny Side Up!

My classic is my DAILY, My RACER, my TEST BED for new parts, and so on :thumbsup:
