Re: How many people use their LT1 as a daily driver?
Driven mine to work every day for the last 7 years. For the last few years, my company has been paying me a $2.00 per hour vehicle allowance for me driving it to work. I'd rather get a little extra pay and drive my car than have a company van or truck, even if it comes out to be more expensive for me. The drive home is always the best part of work...

It's not only my daily driver, it's my work car. I tow boats with it, from New York to Southwest Florida and back!

119,000 miles and on the original Opti. The only things that was changed was the water pump!

As for me, I drive my Z 365 days a year, even in the Denver winters. I've only been stuck three times in two years.
I'm looking forward to college in Tucson next year...

Mine is my daily driver... except when there's snow on the ground.
I commute 100-ish miles per day, all highway. Wife wants me to get a "beater" to save miles on the Z. She doesnt get it... I bought the car to DRIVE it! And here's the best part: 6th gear and 70mph averages me about 24mpg. Her Dodge only get 15!
And, after a long, stressful day at work... there's nothing like yanking off the tops and enjoying the ride home!
