Im curious, whats the oldest daily driver you drive and how old are you, driving it. I am interested as I am turning my 68 Formula s back to a full time daily driver. Im 50 and now plan to drive the crap out of it. Gas price, doesnt matter. Im just going to drive it.
 
currently a 77 grand prix , was going to do the same with my 69 cuda but they won't let you drive to work on collectors plates and they require you to have another insured vehicle in order to qualify for the cheap insurance so I'm looking for a cheap slant 6 dart or something to replace the pontiac
 
I'm 36 and mine is a 1966 Barracuda. I don't have much of a commute and I usually walk to anywhere under a couple of miles so I don't know it's really a testimony to a real daily driver.
 
Daily driver when its not raining is my 64 Signet, daily driver when raining is a 90 chevy pickup setup to grip the road, the 90 is also my newest vehicle. I like the new engines for the new millennium but not the tins..
 
If I were in CA liike some people it would be my 74 but only good here in spring - summer - fall long winter
 
I'm 28 and my daily driver, rain or shine is my 74 Dart Sport.
 
I'm 24, soon as the weather brakes my 71 valiant is gona be my dd all weather except snow.
 
I'm 39 and I split time between my 79 power wagon and the 04 Ram..

In CAL its always spring or summer, lol

Up here in cold Michigan I ran around in a 1992 Olds Ceria till the frame just about rusted out, poor heat, drivers window didn't work too well so just left it up always but ran great and got me 20 mpg, got 180,000 on it and the 3 speed auto trans was still working fine. All I did for the drivetrain was change the water pump and a relay in the trans and fresh spark plugs and wires every 30,000 miles or so. Really good car it was, would still have it if it didn't rust away
 
Hopefully in a few weeks it will be a 1963 Plymouth Valiant.
 
My '70 shovelhead til my Dart is on the road. Still have my '61 panhead but it does not get much use anymore.
 
Old turdota p.u.Used to be 72 Valiant 360,and will be again. when painted.
 
My '64 Valiant convertible is a daily driver in nice weather, and the '73 D100 that I bought new, is a driver. In bad weather and on trips, I drive a 2011 Chrysler Town & Country, but it's a rolling utility, not a fun car to drive.

I have no interest in owning a car that I'm scared to drive. FWIW, I'm 70.
 
im 22 years old

my current daily driver is a 74 duster, rain, shine, snow. wash it at least once a week.

few years ago it was my 72 duster.

and before that it was a 78 f150.

in between all those have been about 20 various 80s-90s vehicles.
 
Retired, so current DD gets driven 2x a week, don't think it counts. Before retirement often drove our 64 Fairlane. I was 40 or so at the time.....

I wish I could say the same. My commute isn't very far. no more than 25 round trip miles per day plus extracurricular stuff on the weekends. I have a 2012 Mustang GT and I'm hitting the gas station on a weekly basis. Gas just hit $4.20 (Super Unleaded) here in Union City yesterday.
 
I'm 52 my daily is my 98 ram 3500 daully cummins,my 66 cuda is my toy as well as our 73 charger. Plan on finding another a body for a daily to give the ram a rest.
 
I'm 44 and have been driving my 78 LeBaron alot lately.

My 87 Dodge D150 with 90,000 miles on her. She had right at 80,000 when I saved her from a life of being a trash truck. I have a newer Dakota but this one is still my favorite. Screw a bunch of MPG!
