Daily Driver question??

Daily Driver question??
Have you ever got to the point where you have modded your car so much that you are afraid to drive it to certain places? Do you feel comfortable driving your street/strip, weekend warrior, or show car to the movies or to the mall?
A lot of people say "its just a car, your insurance will take car of it". Not true for us. The insurance company can never replace the time(and a lot of other things)we put into our cars.

lol, thats kinda funny.
my stang isnt a daily driver partly for that reason, too many people i know have gotten their cars broken into around here. when i take it places at night i make sure and park it under the lights or in broad view. but most of the time i take the explorer if im going someplace i'd worry about. i drive my explorer to work just for the wear and tear. my stang sits in a garage when it's not being driven. safe and secure.

I worrry about door dings and such, but, a big percent of the time the car next to you will be a driver only. So I usually (escpecially at work) Give a little extra room to the next cars driver side. Hopefully most people do care about banging their door on yours.. :shifty:

on the down side, i have THREE fuggin door dings on my driver side door

Yesterday it looked like it was gonna rain, so I took the iroc. Stang only sees sunny days and no trips to busy parkinglots. I have had my fair share of digs and scrapes on other vehicles, so the stang doesn't see much action.
In regards to the first post, I do sometimes feel that I don't enjoy the car enough because I try to keep it nice. I've put approx. 75 miles on it in the last 2 months.

my stang sucks ***** in the rain, but then again they're the cheapest stock toyo's in the world on it, its soo bad when it shifts (and its an automatic) it'll kick out the back end when the roads are wet.
but other than that, I paid the $50 for the parking spot and I got the first one... so that means everyone gets to see my car going to and from school... unlike the football team captain..
i stole his girlfriend anyway--

This is the reason its only been driven 800 miles in 3 years. I wont leave it set someplace more then 10 minutes. If i go into a restraunt i have to set at a window looking at the car.

i hear what frito says....my stang only sees sunny days, no dirt on the street, etc. but i pay a crapload a month for it and i feel like i dont get to enjoy what i pay for...kinda sucks. on the flipside, i can say that i'm preserving the condition and keeping the miles down--only 23,500 on a 2002....not bad.
