How many use the Trans am/Firebird for a DD?

[Rosie25]

Just wondering who here uses there car/ mainly Ls1 for a DD?

[INeedLS1]

The reason I bought mine was to daily drive it. I could never drive a beater everyday while my TransAm sat in a garage.

[GULLETT17]

dd here

[SAGGIN]

I bought my SS as a daily driver to stunt like a stunna in it every day but with gas at $4.25 she's become a garage queen.

[stephen02ws6]

mine used to be a daily driver till this past winter when i got a beater car. so much better in the snow.

[99WS6MAN]

Daily Driver

[rapter34]

DD during the summer during the winter I am at college and I cfan walk or bike mostly anywhere.

[iam_dale]

dale

[DIRTY JERZY]

Dd Ws6

[joejenkinsglass]

I would drive mine everyday but I do construction work so the truck is the dd

[98T/Aformula.]

Mine is a garage queen, I dd it for a year saved up the money and bought a beater then worked my way up to a nice dd. Colorado winter in the ta is harsh I can breath ez when snow is on the ground and the ta is in its heated garage lol.

[knappbunch]

I definatly enjoy it every day not so much in pouring down rain but everyday.

[tjclt250r]

i drive my t/a everyday except today because it overheated last night.....shes got 175k

[Hawk23]

DD. I only drive 10 miles a day though.

[transAMchubby]

daily drove mine until my header install a week ago. i work nights so now its in the drive way for days off. its too loud with ORY for the parents so i need to move out in order to DD it again.

[346ci]

DD mine all year in Alaska

[toothmaker]

I drive around 25K to 30K a year so I split up the miles with my truck 50/50.

[Slow98TA]

Daily drove my TA for 7 1/2 years.140,xxx miles on her. She is now the garage queen with a new paint job. Also new clutch and rebuild the transmission.

[LIGHTNINGMCQUEEN]

I bought mine so i can drive it all over. I daily drive it and then some.

[KING Z28 HAWK]

DD all year.

[egod]

every car i've ever owned has been a dd, i drive it like i stole it!

[98warbird]

DD for 2 more months then my second love 1985 Subaru Brat I have been looking for one for three years after i sold my last one

[Silver Streak]

DD as well.. averaging almost 32,000 miles a year on it right now.... I like to drive.. :D

[Mr. Luos]

Nope.

1999 with just over 35K on it.

[Mehawsucc]

DD all year

[supercharged woman]

If it is a nice sunny day then I drive her, if not, my MODIFIED Grand Prix GTP gets taken out.

[supercharged woman]

every car i've ever owned has been a dd, i drive it like i stole it!

Is there any other way to drive.

[Method]

I don't drive my car, unless it's SUNNY, WARM, and ONLY during the summer.

[StuntmanMike]

Mine's a DD, unless it's going to snow, then I'll take my Jeep.

I have a 64 mile round trip to work, so unfortunately I rack up the miles quickly.

Gas prices suck, but at 23-24mpg in the Bird vs. 16mpg in the Jeep, the Bird is practically an economy car.

[farmer_ron_99]

DD every day, 50 mi each way. Sun, Rain or Snow!!!!
Just to much fun to leave at home.

[Ls1_385hp_T/A]

mines a daily driver...very good car so why not

[peepingdc22]

No DD here, she comes out once or twice a week and only when the weather is sunny and warm, sits for about six months in the winter. F-bodies don't go well with winter in Iowa. Not to mention I like to preserve something that isn't made anymore!

[y2K TA WS6]

I roll mine weather permitting, when the sun is out I alwayes make some kinda excuse to pull her out!

[xzaero0]

DD here, rain, sleet, snow, sun, it doesn't matter. It didnt care for the snow much when the 10 bolt and posi was going bad tho. 30 mile round trip, mostly highway driving. 118k miles, and will still spank most everything it runs across.

[JoshieDoom]

24/7 365

:)

[Hot Black Trans-Am]

DD here. Modded base TA. It's not rare so why not.

[qwk93ta]

My WS6 is only driven on nice days.......My DD is an 04 Grand Am.

[jprice]

dd about 75 miles roundtrip, in the winter it stays parked

[01ws6er]

I drive a company vehicle to and from work so it's my weekend/ errand warrior. I've only put about 2,300 miles on her since January, and I'm hopin to keep her under 5,000/year for emissions excemption :)

[chuck4345]

dd had 31k when i bought it almost a year ago now has 35k dont drive but 2 blocks to work

[richard head]

24/7 365

:)

x2.

I love it.

[One_Bad_TA]

DD here Except winter.

[jman0322]

DD mine with 129,000 miles (had 109,000 when I bought it) and now it's become the weekend family vehicle instead of the gas guzzling Tahoe.....

[Shammer]

DD also. i even drive when i have no where to go!!

[speedracer25f]

Daily drive mine during the summer, when winter hits I buy a piece of crap for a few hundred bucks to drive in the snow, then park the TA and upgrade it. With the gas prices I did bust out the mountain bike, only a few miles from work.

[SandmanWs7]

DD....just put Headers on as well. Will always be my DD.

[Cheviac2K]

I'm a service rep and use my '00 TA as a driver, sometimes 300 mile days. I leave my Vette for the weekends.

[sleepinghawk]

D/D Here also 24/7 325. Bought in 05 with 325 miles, now have 34,000

[1 RedHot TransAm]

I do not use mine as a DD I have a 97 Cadillac I drive when its the winter,raining or a cloudy day I only drive my T/A on nice sunny summer days...

[ls1camino]

I would like to DD mine, but with the gas prices my MazdaSpeed3 does the trick...problem is that I seem to find all of the "racers" when I'm out in the Mazda and NEVER when I have Nymphadora out...

[TheSilverSurfer]

DD here---81,000 mi.---and still able to show.

[TransAmFanatic]

dd here wish i can afford a different car with better gas mileage... 4.17 for 93 octane here in louisiana.

[speedracer25f]

Only 4.17? Im paying over $4.50 for sunoco 93 here.

[Cronex]

I drive mine daily through any weather except ice, unless I really have to. I have 34K on mine right now, about to hit 35K. Costs $4.30 for 93 Octane at my job at Sunoco right now. Never needed anything done except for general maintance which I do myself.

[thiscatiskool]

mine is a DD too

[b_boyws6]

Im a weekend warrior, dd is a 03 chevy truck. you've got to keep the miles off
if you want it to be a classic.

[hutch1999]

mines a DD, but not right now due to the broken collar bone.

[JoshieDoom]

Daily drove my TA for 7 1/2 years.140,xxx miles on her. She is now the garage queen with a new paint job. Also new clutch and rebuild the transmission.

As soon as I get mine paid off.. new paint... and then a beater :)

[tmartinez91084]

DD here as well, though I have been looking for a Fiero to replace it with my commute to work; its about 50 miles round trip and Premium every couple of days is starting to kick my ass...

[Cutlass]

Mine's a DD, unless it's going to snow, then I'll take my Jeep.

I have a 64 mile round trip to work, so unfortunately I rack up the miles quickly.

You're in the same boat as me. DD the WS666 spring, summer, fall. Drive the Jeep GC V8 in the salt season (and to tow my boat). Jeep 14mpg, 'Bird gets 21mpg.

:eek: Don't let ThirdShiftStudios catch you... :lol:

[Cutlass]

:hide:hehehe yep, I definitely sold that from TSS. I saw that yesterday and loved it and thought I'd try it out!:angel:

[muteki]

Ok, I'm paying $4.58 for 91 octane here and 93 isn't availible. I drive it everyday that I can just so I can hear the wife have a legitimate bitch! hhaha

[QtrWhore]

my formula was my dd until i got my dodge problem is...dodge has bigger tank..cheaper fuel..formula has smaller tank more expensive fuel...

[2KWS6TA]

My DD...2002 Honda Shadow Spirit 1100
http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b124/glenncc/Picture030-1-1.jpg?t=1212880397

[ATCharming]

dd all year. with gas at 4.70 for premium, i make my friends drive outta town if we go anywhere, but... idc how high gas goes. itll never stop me, just slow me down a bit

[98 formula ws6]

IT was a dd but now I have co. truck

[RonD]

DD. I bought it to have fun but put less than 10k miles per year on it.

[LS1buckey]

Mines a DD till I am able to get a beater next spring. Then it's going away for awhile for a rebuild....hope it makes it till then.

[WalterS6]

98 WS6 Daily spring summer fall. 2000 Z71 same mileage as the Bird 17mpg = DD

[Melos]

DD, I had a beater, but I love my TA too much to not drive it.....even if it runs me over $100 a week in gas....

[nbmws6ta]

I don't use either 1 of my Trans Ams as my daily driver. I have a 1994 Saturn for that! That is why my 02 has only 18,000, and my 97 has 53,000. Oh I live in Minnesota also that has even more to do with NOT using them as my daily driver.

[JWSmythe]

I've had the opportunity to use other cars as my daily driver.

I had a '98 T/A and my '00 WS/6. The '98 sat in the driveway most days, because the '00 was more fun to drive. :)

My wife has a Honda CR/V. When I have to move stuff, I take her car, and realize how much it hurts with the lack of power. It's hard to get used to pulling onto a busy road in the WS/6, where I just find a gap and go. In hers, I find a gap, hit the gas, realize it didn't launch into traffic, and hit the brakes (since I only moved about 6 inches) until a much much longer gaps shows up.

Our blind spot sucks. I lose cars in it a lot, so I'm in the habit of bumping the gas to clear it just before I change lanes. In the Honda, I can bump the gas, but it doesn't make a difference. Sometimes I get trapped in the wrong lane, just because I can't speed or up or slow down enough to get over. The T/A's not only go fast, but stop fast too. :)

I was just given a basket case MG Midget, which may end up being my daily driver with the current gas prices. Of course, the MG is designed for about 35 mpg, and 300 miles between break downs, so I may end up driving the WS/6 more than I can afford. :)

[Insert]

well, i bought my SS as a DD for the summer/fall seasons, during winter and spring i have a dakota, its still a v-8. but gas is making me think about looking for something with a smaller engine... but i like having hte power there.

[slimm4357]

i sef dd my t/a. whats the use of owning raw power if nobody can see you in it

[trixysrace11]

Im a weekend warrior, dd is a 03 chevy truck. you've got to keep the miles off
if you want it to be a classic.
dd here too, however it only takes me about 6 minutes to get to work, and other than i sometimes grab my kids camry to run out shopping ect...
mileage is still pretty low, and i wanna keep it that way,.. a 2000 ws6 with 46,000 miles on it aint to bad

[Obsession]

Summer weekends and vacation trips but I have not had it out yet this year due to tranny & clutch problems. Plan to fix it in July.
