Makes for an awesome stance....

Daily Driver
 

At the mall......I'm always shocked to see how much lower/smaller than a Toyota!!
I drive 26 mile round trip weekdays to "work".... 60,000+ miles in 6 years.
All aluminum interior, no carpet, no radio, no heat/air......but do have leather seats and steering wheel. 400 h.p. 350/turbo350.

I built mine to be reliable enough to be a daily... but I just don't want to put so many miles on it.

Figure I'm only putting about 500 miles a year on it driving it on weekends, so itll last a long time. And with what paint jobs cost these days, I need to keep it in good shape... given car stuff is much lower priority than family and household expenses...

Jim, I see this all the time, well did. I just moved from Melb to Noosa, but yeah that thing gets plenty of miles !!!

Here's hoping you took the toys to Noosa with you 😜😜😜

OMG I'm suffering bad in this Melbourne winter.

Get outta here, I'm from Noosa originally(stateside now), I know of a PT mustang there to look out for also.

I don't plan to import my current build there but I do plan to import something there in coming years.

What is it you down-under types have against pickup trucks?

Kidding, Jim. I totally approve of this Camaro usage!:poke:

Pickup trucks?? CoG Paul......gotta take every apex :drive:

Did you notice the Falcochev in my avatar? It's driveable (real nice) and just gotta get engineer's g-meter reading on brakes before registration. Need to boost cash flow tho, so project timing will suffer again.

Must be HOT AND SMOKEY round your hood atm!! We get updates from the Carr fire on regular tv coverage....some Aussies there helping out since last week
:cheers: :patriot:

Back on topic...v v v ..... Picking up Falcon seats from trim shop.

Hey Jim,

It has been disgusting around here the past few weeks--fire is now officially a season, with its own weather brought about by massive smoke coverage. This week has been a drastic improvement, as we can see mountains again. It is awesome that people from your neck of the woods came up to help--it's literally like a war effort, especially since they've also called up military units . . .

Great to hear the Falcon is running--it will be weird as hell to see a pic of it towing your Camaro. I just finally got my un-Ford Falcon running again yesterday. Now it's time to re-do what I screwed up in the process of building the turbo system (and attempt to tune). It is so far from ever being a "daily driver," but I don't really do that anyway . . .

Two words...hell yes. Maybe three if you count the expletive i wanted to throw in between those two. Lol.

My '71 Camaro is my daily driver. 100 miles round trip 5 days a week.

I'm 62 and have been working on mine for 5+ years. I don't think it will be done for at least 3 more.

I am going to drive it like I stole it :lmao:

The '40's maiden run will be 3,000 miles -- and then it's going to be in Texas -- and still needs to get "home" --- except I no longer own a home -- we'll still need to drive it somewhere (Scottsdale)! LOL

So figure 5,000 miles in its first couple weeks..... and will be driven daily everywhere and anywhere from then on.

Sold sv? Congrats onward and forward it was great to see ya & Gwen - if you need help with anything you have the number & I have the pass 👍

Myself I won’t daily drive as a big pet peeve of mine is door dings. if all parking were nice and wide like the ones in Costco then sure. until then I’ll just take it on tours etc...

This is actually one of the reasons I don't want a really nice paint job. I just don't want to worry about it. I have it to enjoy it and really don't want to be thinking about rogue shopping carts or belt buckles at car shows. To each their own!
