My Z is my daily car-with insurance being so high, I couldn't imagine having a beater too. I have the stock alarm system. This car will eventually be just a weekend car and maybe just a drag car once the engine goes out.

Daily driver in the UK
Hi
I use my SS every day for every trip - wouldn't want to have it any other way. I imported it new nearly 2 years ago and have used it every day since (30,000 miles). Standard alarm but with a GPS tracker device fitted (well I wouldn't want to lose it).
Cheers

Oh yeah, she's my daily driver
. Since it bought it last summer, I've already put on over 26,000 kms (~16,000 miles), so I'm averaging close to 3000 kms / month
. I need the car for work and back, which is about ~45 miles round trip, plus any running around on weekends and such, and I've been on a few road trips with it too.
Also, still the factory alarm.
I love my car!!!

Mine's my daily driver too. I have the stock alarm system and put around 350 miles/week on it.
On a side note, what sorts of things will set the alarm off?
One time I was washing it and I let the wiper drop on the windshield too fast and it set the alarm off.

As far as daily driving. I have daily-driven my LS1 for 2 days now. Since I bought it two nights ago. :P
[I haven't updated my sig yet, but I bought a dark blue 99 Trans Am 6-spd the other night.

My Z is my only car. I drive it everywhere! about 40 miles to worka and back everyday. 40K miles in 2 years. That includes New England winters.
As far as alarm, I just have the stock alarm and a Lo Jack.
