Mine is a daily driver in a technical sense. I drive it whenever I can, but I work in different cities during the week, so therefore it gets driven mostly on weekends. On the other hand, I have driven her on many LONG trips. (VA- FL, CA, NH, PA, OH, GA and other states.

I consider the drivablilty to be fine, but the doors are a pain in my @ss for simple trips. (keep in mind I have the GT factory Vertical Doors, not stock)

Yup, whats the point of putting all that money into SC/ST/TT your car if you are just going to stare at it and drive it to church!? Drive it like you stole it! =D
