Mine is more daily driver than not.  In other words, my wife and I have two cars and the Shelby is mine, however we work at the same location and generally commute together.  On some days, however, we go in different directions, for example, one or both of us are attending meetings or traveling.  Having rambled on and said all that, my Shelby has less than 1700 miles on it and its nearly 5 months old (4000 miles / year average?).

you must have ALOT of fun then! haha.
I'm keeping it as a weekend/summer car just to spend some time during the week in (around the neighborhood for a couple minutes) and on saturdays and sundays to take to car shows.

Luckily I'll still have my DD V6 so roll around with and have some everyday fun.

dont you get nervous parking the car in parking lots?

I drive to NYC from LI everyday, and go through some real bad areas so I dont like bringing my 'stang through there, and its just a 6! I'd never allow myself to use the SGT as a DD. I drive a truck back and forth to work.

Nope, no worries. I guess it may depend on your local.

My GT500 is my daily driver...which hasn't been a problem yet.  Got my first ding (chip in the driver's side front fender, just aft of the headlight), so now that I popped my road-rash cherry, I'm less freaked out by it.  I drive it from my locked garage to a Navy base, so I feel pretty safe.  Leaving it in a hotel parking lot overnight, however, is very frightening...like tonight!  (I'm in NJ for the Genesis concert at Giants Stadium.)

I figure it only snows two or three times a year in the DC area...and I have enough vacation time saved up to "get sick" when it snows.
