Default Mustang Commuter

I just had a quick question, how many of you when the warm weather comes use your mustang as a commuter or daily driver? I was going to just keep driving my winter beater to work to keep the miles off the stang but then i figured that would mean I am only driving my stang on the weekends and that didn't seem like much fun. So I just wanted to see how many of you put your stang on Daily Driver status when the warm weather comes around.

I drove mine home first day from the dealer in snow. Talk about scared spittless, But dont have to worry about snow anymore. I moved to a place where it don't snow much. lol. Drive it every day to work and back. I work very close to home though.

mine is not daily driven. i drive my explorer to work but once in a while when the weather is nice like it has been the past couple days i'll drive my stang to work. it's only like 5 miles away anyway. i normally keep the stang in the garage to keep it clean. and i drive it on the weekends or if im going out somewhere

Mine's a DD but I try to keep as many miles off it as I can (I'm not doing too good either, almost 1700 miles in 1 1/2 months )

I would drive mine to work on some of these nice days but Ford has poor security for employee parking.

Mine becomes a commuter when I feel like a fun drive to work. Otherwise, my '95 Exploder is my daily beater.

Everyday, work, school, where ever. I try to remember its a mustang, not a ferrari, and the value is going to drop whether I drive it or not, lol so I just do. I like it, and honestly, the best part of my day begins when I walk out to the parking lot from work and start it up.

Same here.... I completely agree. I find myself thinking at night.... "I cant wait until I have to go to work in the morning" ... only someone who drives a mustang would understand that.
