For those saying they'd make a good daily driver, do you actually enjoy driving your classic as an everyday run around. Maybe I'm in the minority of classic owners but I'm paranoid driving any of mine around the careless brain dead motoring public who have the majority of their attention to somewhere or something else. The open road isn't so bad but I only travel thru town to get out of there.

Hello,
Cars are meant to be driven....driven hard...not fast but hard!
I couldent own 2 cars unless one was a project,I drive a bog standard Au 11 six cyl Fairmont,I traded in my RHD 1985 Corvette Coupe,red on red and fully loaded,with all the Z51 options.
I like my Au better!..why..well its easy,my longevity!
Every time I got in it I had to put it sideways,that beast of a car just demanded to be driven not nursed or looked at but driven,and driven hard!
I got rid of it for 2 reasons,firstly I could not afford to keep it due to my being put on a DSP, and secondly i had to wear a soft neckbrace every time I got in it,the thing was a cop magnet,but I drove it hard,no good having that sweet sound out the exhaust at idle,I wanted to hear and feel it at the redline,I wanted it to scream inside my head,cops said NO..so now I got a bog standard Au 11 Fairmont.
Driven not Hidden,the Shannon's Insurance ads on TV make me want to jump in my TV and punch the owners heads in!!!
Cheers Billy.
PS..I love my Au 11 Fairmont,but I am glad I have a car that gets me to all my doctors appointments,its an A to B car, ( aren't they all? ) that means rain,hail or shine,not up and down the driveway,weather permitting of course?
