For you guys who use your pro-touring cars as daily drivers, I'm curious about a couple things.

1) How many of you have kids, and if so, are you concerned about the obvious safety concerns? These cars aren't as safe as new designs.

2) What kind of mileage do you put on?

Serious questions - just a couple that popped into my somewhat empty mind :)

No kids. My dog rides shotgun. My continental has no seatbelts. I've enjoyed 12 years of driving it weekly with no issues.

2) Insurance browses these forums.

driver paint job I hope, otherwise you won't :lol:

My car has been to SEMA, the hardware store and the grocery store. I think I draw the line at Christmas trees on the car's roof though.

Would I drive it everyday? No. Could I drive it everyday? Yes, but technically I would need to change insurance companies. It would also require a lot of attention to keep it pristine. I also never built the car with the intention of daily driving it.

In any case, Greg always seems to have the best advice; drive your car as frequently or infrequently as you want. Everyone it different. Some people would love driving a borderline race car on the street everyday, others not so much.

Almost 70% would drive their hot rod daily, thats pretty impressive. I must be too old and too soft!!

"Would" is the key word there. That is different than "Do" and "Does".


For me it comes down to the city I live in... the ridiculous streets of San Francisco (ever seen Bullitt?).... I have never even brought my Camaro to this city... but when I move to "suburbia" in the coming years, you can bet I'll drive my Camaro a helluva lot more on those nicely paved roads. :thumbsup:

Only you can decide. Enjoy your car any way you want.

On a personal note, I believe they should be driven as much as possible.
But it is your investment, your call. Have fun every time you get behind the wheel.

if our cars are investments we're a real crappy group of investors :lol:

yeah were like the guys who bought stock in the clapper light:D !

I wouldn't use mine as a dd. I did with my Crx after I had it all done. Since I live in nebraska it got torn up in three years. I get tired of fixing fenders and getting rock chips. Now it just sits waiting for me to finish my volvo.
