Question Daily driver

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering how many people on here use their Challenger as their daily driver vs how many people use it as their weekend/recreation car?

Waking up to go to work at 5:30am sucks, but I find the drive far more enjoyable since I get to go in the Chally. Plus theres no one on the roads then so.....

I have 4 other cars I could drive... but I keep going out to the Challenger. Its a blast to drive and addicting. I have a 70 Challenger R/T and a 70 GTX. I also have an 88 TSI and a 91 Stealth R/T. So the fun factor is high on all of them and I still pick the 09. So with almost 19,000 miles on the clock, I'd say daily driver.

I work at home but I use my 09 Challenger R/T Classic as a daily/work vehicle. I do architectural drafting so its not as if it gets abused like a typical work vehicle. I will park it come winter and drive my 93 Dodge Dakota in the salt and snow.

I drove mine in all weather conditions, it's actually more reliable than my 4x4 FJ cruiser (the car is heavier), well it was dependable until the car tried to KILL me.... but I drove that car through, winter in the snow on the OEM tires.

A friend asked me for ideas for a sporty daily driver with a 5K Budget and upto 5 years old.. He understands it doesnt leave a huge range of cars but it doesnt have to be an M3 Hes looking for a Astra/Golf sized car, not really practical to have a 2 seater. _______________________________________Website I designed for cash advance company.

My SE is a daily driver. I kept my old car as our daughter just started driving last month. On absolutely horrible winter days this season I will drive my old car and she will ride the bus. After this season though I am sure she will drive year round.
