Mustang Commuter

InitialB · 01-09-2006, 02:19 PM

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.

We live in Oklahoma and my mom drives hers all the time(its her primary car)

and when i get my own gt in 2 years or so i will do the same.

OFFdutyHERO · 01-09-2006, 02:27 PM

It is my daily driver for ALL weather, except snow. Once it hits the ground, pony goes in the garage.

PureStang · 01-09-2006, 02:27 PM

i drive mine all year....rain snow or sun shine....i have no winter beater..the way i look @ it...its a car that was built to do wat it was ment to do

*Lances03SVT* · 01-09-2006, 02:28 PM

Mine's a DD too.Unless it's really nasty out.Then I drive the 06

TEXASPAUL · 01-09-2006, 02:32 PM

ohhh ouch

do u tune the 06 yet??

01-09-2006, 02:53 PM

Even though i live in south florida and i could use my stang for DD i have to drive my pick up to work.

jjtgiants · 01-09-2006, 03:00 PM

My car is also a DD.....Thankfully the weather where I'm at in Cali is pretty nice all year round so I can drive it all the time

jacliff_3521 · 01-09-2006, 03:03 PM

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.

01GTBlown · 01-09-2006, 03:16 PM

During the winter i bring mine out here and there when its shiny and clear, other wise it stays up till its warm then its my DRIVER!

:banana:

floppy · 01-09-2006, 04:42 PM

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

Islander03GT · 01-09-2006, 04:55 PM

i commute with mine year round

MattJ · 01-09-2006, 05:06 PM

Mines a daily driver from april to october.

CCM · 01-09-2006, 05:36 PM

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

)

foncarelli · 01-09-2006, 05:43 PM

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

BrentK · 01-09-2006, 06:40 PM

I pretty much only drive mine on the weekends from april to october..Its nice having a beater

Grimmz · 01-09-2006, 06:55 PM

**** it, I went to school in Florida because I knew I'd be able to drive my car...only gotta worry about the gully washers here...when you can't see the road and theres 5'' s of water on the ground that wasn't there 15 minutes ago...lol

bikerjoe · 01-09-2006, 07:00 PM

drive mine every single day

bikerjoe · 01-09-2006, 07:01 PM

well unless its really sunny n nice outside then i take out the little green monster

<-----

FritoBandito · 01-10-2006, 06:53 AM

Mine never sees rain or snow...only get driven once or twice a week.

sacstoy02gt · 01-10-2006, 10:02 AM

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