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.

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.

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

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

TEXASPAUL 01-09-2006 02:32 PM

SpinMedia 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 :punk:

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.

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! :pepper: :banana:

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

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.

yeah i been thinkin about investing in two wheels bundle of joy, would certainly help with my parking problem...but then again I've never driven a bike before...right now i'm stickin to pedel power!

paul20jsu 01-10-2006 03:56 PM

I normally dirve my truck to work, but it is giving me the fits right now, stupid chevy. I work at a foundry and today was only the second day I drove the stang to work. When I got home I put the cali duster to it......


I now have a black duster. no joke. I hate the foundry.

rebelyell 01-10-2006 10:35 PM

i agree with that big time

madmatt 01-12-2006 03:48 AM

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.
