Is your 6 a daily driver?

Just wanted to get a feeling for how many members use their SRT-6 as a daily driver. I would guess less than 30%, but what do I know. And no, mine isn't a daily driver. Maybe 5-10 miles a week, if I'm lucky!

Re: Is your 6 a daily driver?

I alternate between the two SRTs and my truck. The SRTs get better gas mileage than the truck so I drive them most.
So I guess they are sorta daily drivers.

Daily driver when it's not prepped for autocrossing which is 2 or 3 times a month during the season.

Daily driving and drag racing is a must for me. I just can't get enough of her.

My daily driver for decades was a refrigeration service van. No more. My parts runner is a PT Cruiser and I bounce back and forth between Crossfire and Triumph for fun. Both seat two.

Re: Is your 6 a daily driver?

if I used mine as a daily driver I'd need a good chiropractor. I use my srt4 as my daily driver and srt6 as a weekend toy

05 is DD, better than coffee

06 is the garage queen, only comes out on sat. mornings in good weather for a quick 20 miles spin before it gets put back to bed.

Re: Is your 6 a daily driver?

I drive mine to work daily, which is an 18 mile commute. It may be a short drive, but I look forward to them nonetheless.

Re: Is your 6 a daily driver?

I drive the roadster 170 miles round trip from Fair Oaks to Concord five days a week. THAT's permagrin!

When I was working in San Jose I was driving 240 miles round trip three days a week.

Mine is a daily driver during the warm weather months. It likely won't leave the garage much from from December to about April.

Mine's my Daily... bought her with 26000, and she has 54000 on her now. To and from work and take her out during lunch for a nice cruise when things get tough at the office.

Re: Is your 6 a daily driver?

Neither Crossfire is driven regularly, and both are summer cars only. For the last three years I work out of a home office. I have the roadster with me in WI for one of my few business road trips and may take it to FL for a vacation in October. Will turn 37k this trip. The SRT6 was bought three years ago with 8500 miles and I have barely doubled that. So the tally is maybe 2-5k miles per summer on each.
