The salt on the roads in the winter here is also absolutely atrocious, so I don't drive the Camaro in the winter, because I don't want it to be a rusted out hunk of junk in three years.

I drive it on the weekends, go cruising around, take it on road trips, and have fun in it. Besides, if I drove it everyday on my commute, it would lose that special feeling that it still has after a year and a half and almost 8,000 miles.

i totally agree !!!

I have 3 other cars and an Accord for a DD, since my commute is 55 miles round trip and the roads in town are crap. I consider mine a weekend car, but I already have 27K on it in less than 2 years. Since buying it, we've planned our vacations based on where we'd like to cruise with the top down (Pacific Coast Highway, Colorado Rockies, Coronado Trail).

I use mine both for work day and weekend car. When going up the slope, that is where the SUV comes into the picture.

Mine is a DD but also a weekend cruiser! Can't get enough time in it! Of course, I've only had it a week. 450 miles so far.

DD, I had a winter car, and getting another, don't like to drive it in the winter w/salt etc. on the road. With some all season tires though it does pretty good in even light snow.

BlackinBlack · 12-14-2012, 07:51 AM

Mine is a DD.

Owned 2.5 months and has 2100 miles. I do love driving it.... heck on the weekends my wife's Toyota sits and we take the ZL1. Even to get groceries.

I avoid driving in the rain, only got caught in it once :(
Almost 3 years old with less than 10k miles!
