Daily driver even during Minnesota winters. Unless there's more than a few inches of snow on the ground. I don't drive a lot, about 1k a month.

I drive mine about 800 miles a month. Even lowered on 20's I drive it almost daily. It makes the drive to work so much more fun!

Wife and I both have ZRs. Daily drivers both. I put about 25K/yr. on mine, and she puts about 35/yr. on hers. She just traded in her '04 for an '07, too, when the '04 had about 90k on it. My '04 has 62k on it now.

wow...then I won't feel so bad making it my DD....I'm looking to get rid of my hatchback in for a roadster, and then I was gonna get another car just to drive to work and here and there...but I know, like in my past experience, the ZR will somehow be my DD and my "everyday" car will be sitting in my garage...I see no point in not enjoying my car....just like I told myself, I will only buy a Ferrari when I can afford not only the car, but the yearly maintenance, the gas bill, the depreciation for acruelling 20k/year...cuz the car I love will be my DD...otherwise, in my POV, there no point in buying a car "to have fun" in if you are not enjoying every moment of it....

WOW!!!

I may consider driving more, but i have rims, dropped, and the vulnerability when going to supermarkets, theaters, etc prevents me from using it as often.
