I drive mine approx 50km per day for my commute. I only do this though because public transit takes 90 minutes EACH WAY as opposed to 30 minutes in the car each way.

Nope. Summer sunny weather only. I have other vehicles for the commute. IMO, it's no fun driving a 12 second car in single file traffic where you never exceed 50 km/hr. I'd go insane if I commuted in the car olut of sheer frustration. Lol! It just would not be fun.

Craig your car is the definition of daily-driver F-body.

You gotta get that beast to a detail shop....

My daily driver is my Durango, the T/A doesn't like the rain.

First of all, you gotta clean out all those old pine needles in your cowl panel and on your carpet, then you gotta put some grease on those door hinges. Then send it to a detail shop!!!
