They're hot rods - and as such - each is individual and customized just like the answers to a question like this.

I say - do whatever you friggin' feel like. To each his own.

The way I see it, I have a blast driving my muscle car so I love hopping in it as much as possible. The only reason I have a daily at all is because my real car is under the knife

Regards,
Ryan

Back when I first bought my car I would drive it anywhere/anytime. I didn't enjoy it any less because I drove it all the time, but I also didn't really have to worry about door dings and scratches. It was nice enough, but not that nice. It hasn't driven in a decade and when it is done I am sure I will drive it frequently but I doubt it will be anywhere/anytime anymore.

I will daily drive mine when it's finished. That's why I'm building it.

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
