So what are people's thoughts on this as a daily driver?

I was talking to someone today and they said if I were ever to sell my car and get a GT500, it should be a weekend car and I should get a daily driver.

I mean I can understand because of the SHELBY thing and keeping the miles down as a collectible......

But dang - if I buy it, I wanna DRIVE it!

Thoughts??

 

I'd drive it on days it does not rain....

And since I live in the Seattle neighborhood that means I'd be lucky to only drive it on the weekends, at least during the winter months.

Now if I lived in an area that dosen't rain so dang much I'd drive it as much as possible.

To heck with spending $40+ grand and only enjoy it on the weekends.

 

I agree ... if you buy it, drive it.

 

Drive it.

 

Amen. Drive the frickin thing! If I could afford one I would have no problem making it a daily driver.

 

I will be driving mine daily.Im 44 and cant wait for it to become a collectors item.Im gonna enjoy it.I have a score to settle with a BMW M5 that ate my roush a couple weeks ago.LOL

 

Its not like it's an Exotic car of some sort.

I'd drive it for sure, no hesitation.

And, if they make 8-9K the first year, it won't *REALLY* be a collectible anyway ...

 

I would be drivin it as much as possible but to call it a daily driver I would not. If I worked closer to home heck yea, but not at my current job. I've got the blue bomber for that.

 

Wouldn't this be like marrying a super model and not going out?

"Where's your wife?"
"Oh, I only take her out on holidays."

 

I would drive it. I tell everyone that I could die tomorrow and I can't take it with me. Life is to enjoy, not collect.

 

Dave, buy it for the weekends and I'll drive it during the week for ya. How about that?

 

If I had one it would probally be a daily/semi-daily driver, but it would never see the rain or snow.

 

Heck yea!!! Drive that thing cause it was made to be driven.

 

Awesome!

 

Moving to HP.

 

Getting the convertible myself. i have an f-250 so no need to drive it daily only when its nice out. No rain , no snow and definetly no parking in mall lots.....

 

Do whatever makes you happy.

 

I've always wondered why people refuse to drive these cars in the rain. They definitely (eventually) get rained on sitting in the dealer lots....

 

Well,

I could not drive it daily. My job requires me to have a 4 door car to take clients out in and carry some large demo eqipment. ( So, I dive a 2005 Mercury Mariner Daily )

I would drive it on nices days if I knew I was going to be in the office and on weekends, erands, etc...

I would not be afrade to drive it as a daily driver though. After all, a Mustang ( Shelby or not ) was not made to be a trailer/garage Queen...

 

You gotta drive it! Unfortunately, I won't be able to because I'm buying for my wife.
