Daily driver or Sunday driver?

My monte is just for weekends/cruising- I drive my impala or GP GXP for daily drivers.

As far as problems with it go- all the stuff that has went wrong with my monte has generally been caused by me doing something stupid

Daily driver for now. Once it is paid off then it will be a Sunday driver.

At the moment my 2001 SS is a daily driver with almost 127,000 miles on the clock. I'm hoping by winter to find me a cheap car to drive back and forth to work

Daily Driver. I have nothing else to drive, and I like to show it off!

My 2004 LS is my daily driver. Rain, snow sleet, it gets driven. I put 4k on it since I got it last October. But now since I am in college, I am putting 300 miles a week on it. Only problem I have had is a bad pressure control solenoid in the tranny. I am not fond of driving it in the snow, the rear is always sliding and the front tires never want to hook up. Of course when it snows, we get between 4-6".

My Monte is a Weekend Warrior. I have only made two payments on it but got into a position where I could afford it....barely. My DD is my old faithful 91 GMC truck that has over 260k on it.
