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"

My newest "daily driver" -- a little ragged with the drag radials and a 4:56 rear gear, but certainly a lot of fun.

Not only that, but people are either jealous or just careless and will door ding you or not care about being "respectable" around your car.
To a lot of people, cars are just like appliances.

But I'm starting to feel that the car was meant to be driven and in order to fully appreciate it it needs to be driven on a regular bases. It would be like winning the lottery and saving it all until you die, you just can't enjoy it that way.

Living in AZ I still use my heated seats a lot in the winter. I know I'm a wimp. And some of you are saying what winter.

I agree. I like to drive the crap out of my cars and enjoy,not keeping it tucked away and dust it off

I'm glad I only have to drive 6 miles to and from work, and I try to park away from morons, been driving my 98 Supra everyday for past 3 years,no dents.

I drive my Nomad to the store daily if it's not raining... and I drive it anywhere and everywhere weather permitting.

I owned a couple NCRS 97 point big block 'Vettes and drove 'em to Illinois... Vegas... wherever and whenever. If they get a little beat - it's just an excuse to re-do them. I re-did one Corvette (this big block tri power '67) 3 separate times. It's the price you pay for enjoyment... and the real expense is the first time around. The next times you're just freshening.

I don't know about driving the 442 as my "daily," but I do plan to drive it.

My current daily is a '93 M5, but I think I will build something when it comes time to replace it. I just don't like the new cars, too much stuff on them.

I have a different perspective. My "classic" car" is kind of like eating gourmet food. You just don't appreciate the experience as much if you're just wolfing down chow as you're running between meetings. If I drove it everywhere, every day, it would just be a car. Believe me, the car gets driven. But every time I get in it, there's a purpose and it's more about enjoying the experience or doing something with it than it is just getting from point a to point b. Maybe the definition of "regular basis" is what we need to describe. For me, it means (weather permitting especially since mine is a vert and there's no way I'm putting it on the road in PA winters either) that the car gets driven every weekend.
