building a car n not driving it most of the times its like having a supermodel n rarely touching her ..... and her ..... lol

With the traffic around here, if i still had to commute to work, no way..

To sit with a 4 speed car with a 280H cam in stopped traffic for 45 minutes is not right for many reasons, the least of it, " Would you have a Thoroughbred Horse and Walk him around the Track ?

The F150 automatic with cup holders is much better.. Or the 350Z Auto...

But the Beast will be driven enough to never see the battery charger ever again, and that is a good thing..:cheers:

Negative.

Car seats dont fit too well

I do as I work on it everyday!!

I'm blessed with having several muscle cars to drive. Some are more agreeable for everyday use than others. My favorite? My 70 GSX. 560 Hp 455, ZF 6 speed, cold ac, satellite radio and killer stereo, Cerullo seats. It fast, comfortable and fun. BUT...my commute is maybe 10 minutes, no traffic, no parking or theft issues, and a whole stable of alternatives should I hurt that car.
I don't drive my blown, injected pro street mustang, or my Boss 429, or my road race 69 Mustang...just because there are easier choices.
I will also admit that currently, my new CTS V is way too much fun to park!

ALSO...before I had too many cars...back in the early 80's...I drove my 69 Chevelle...396 4 speed, aluminum flywheel, 850 Holley, 4:10 gear, no ac, 7mpg, everywhere. From 88-91, the only car I owned was a 79 Fairmont with a 351w, 6-71 BDS blower, EFI, and a 2:73 gear. I was traveling at the time for BDS...did a little time on the Gandy Bridge in Tampa...changed the head gaskets in the parking lot at Automotive Engineering!

Fun stuff!

I sure hope I do! I didn't with my last one, so I sold it.

I sold all the relatively current cars I had 5 years ago and bought my wife a Jag XKR for going to functions etc....

Me I've been blessed and drive one of the old Birds, Camaros, or the 68 caddy Eldorado every day (other than the winter months up here in Toronto).... It's so much fun driving down the road in something that's not a cookie cutter new car....

Yup. Daily drove my car for years. It's not so fun now with the worn out, sloppy suspension and the BMW wheels that hit the frame. :(

Building my corvette with the sole intention of driving it daily!

I know I'm not really the right person to answer this poll, but I'll leave my answer anyway.

When I went looking for a car in early 2011 I was strongly considering buying another '95-6 Impala SS. I've loved those cars since I saw my first Dark Cherry example in '95. However, knowing my past history with the B-body ('93 Caprice 9C1, '94 SS, '96 Caprice LT1, B4U (sport)), I realized I'd throw too much money at an SS. Where I work there is also ZERO reserved parking so I am forced to park outside -- frequently parallel parking on the street -- every day in the Florida sun.

Not wanting to invite dings and other damage on a car that means a lot to me, I decided to put off the B-body purchase and bought a 2009 Accord sedan instead. While it's technically the nicest car I've owned, I don't have any attachment to it. It would annoy me to no end having bird sh!t, dirty FL rain spots and scraped up paint on an SS. I was already infuriated when I went out to my car and saw this rub damage. Thankfully, 3M Rubbing Compound and some sore thumbs got me down to this point, but now I need to pick up touch-up paint.

If I had the '66-7 Chevelle I dream about, there is no way in hell I would DD it. Cruises/errands after work and on weekends when the weather doesn't suck? Absolutely!
