I drive it for short errands sometimes on weekdays but I take it out for drives at least once on the weekend. I do use it to drive to San Diego on occasion when I go there for business and I have taken it to Laughlin once. My car is black/black with the polished upgrade rims and rear spoiler. My only mods are LPE cold air kit, Corsa and a Stealth tune.

Yep, everyday. Just about the only mod is a carseat. My daughter loves it also, she says wheeee. Zeppelin 05-07-06, 07:25 AM Every day.

CRZY747 05-07-06, 03:29 PM 2004 black on black, limo tinted windows, 20 Iforge rims, NX dry 100 shot, bottle heater, all the accessories for the nitrous, Volant intake. Had the car about a year, bought used with 11K and know have 17K. Not a daily driver, it sits in Houston in a garage and covered up, and I currently work in Milwaukee Wi. So it gets driven for about 4-5 days every 2 or so months. Dyno was 343rwhp with tune on motor With 100shot it was 468rwhp. Heck I have only used the gas 3-4 times. Then on the dyno also, so maybe 5 times total. I have a daily driver 93 mercury topaz LOL, and my other toy is a 2006 Raven R6. Which I have been turning my mod money to J ajedwardsjr 05-08-06, 06:49 AM Mine is a daily driver, although not heavily modded. I sometimes wish I had more money, so I could buy another car to us as a daily driver, and give this beauty a rest. Well. Actually, I always wish I had more money. Kadonny 05-08-06, 08:38 AM Daily driver for me. I got it in March, have 2000 miles on her already. NH Vrod 05-08-06, 08:48 AM Daily driver in the summer, put up for the winter months. veloce 05-08-06, 09:58 AM Everyday,rain,snow,hail,with 40,000 mi since May of 2004. Jeff:bouncy: SwampFox 05-08-06, 10:00 AM Daily. Stock except for iCAGS & UUC. 6000 mi since November. I'm gonna start riding my FXRT soon though. 50mi/gal is attractive nowadays. PneuBird 05-08-06, 11:31 AM My daily driver since February '04. Four years in North Dakota teaches you not to be affraid of snow or ice especially if you had a '67 vette at the time. Besides, I just get to wash and wax the "V" more often!!!! :highfive: heavymetals 05-08-06, 12:22 PM I don't drive it "daily" as I don't have to go anywhere. :rolleyes: grandsport5 05-08-06, 12:51 PM Mine's a daily driver. Rain, snow, you name it. 4/12 months old, 8500 miles. No mods except Hankook Ice Bear tires. No issues in the 4 times I drive it in the snow. Four times out on the auto-x course and kicked all but very skilled drives in C5 Z06's with sticky tires on them - even with the Ice Bears. It's time to break out the F1's and see what she can really do! Loadtoad 05-08-06, 05:06 PM Garage queen for the winter. Just took it out for the first time this year. 4k on the odo and 13 months old. VinCLT 05-08-06, 06:21 PM Dd... cjones 05-08-06, 06:25 PM 06, daily driven all 600 miles of it. I'll probably end up doing a small cam and headers or a supercharger. Shit, who knows, maybe both! mostoyzwinz 05-08-06, 10:20 PM DD, any wxr up to an inch or two of snow....no snow shoes here and serious elevation changes. Absolutely a mess in the snow without the right rubber. I'm waiting to here from some Canadians I've heard running serious snow tires. VelieVer ttt 05-08-06, 10:20 PM It's the wife's daily driver. nharris 05-09-06, 08:28 AM My '04 V is a hardcore daily driver, rain, snow whatever. This time of year it is my fishing vehicle. 41k miles, no mods except Hawk pads (no dust). It is either the V or the '68 GTO. The V draws the tough duty. Even with its weak points (diff whine, rough shifter) the car is a blast. I've been fortunate to have some fun cars, the V wins for the most enjoyable. Looking forward to an LS-7. SwampFox 05-09-06, 08:42 AM All you guys who haven't registered on cadillacfaq.com yet should do so. http://www.cadillacfaq.com/faq/reg/index.php kgoch 05-09-06, 11:39 AM Daily driver year around. Love to drive to and from work. P-Funk 05-09-06, 01:37 PM Daily driver year round (at least that is my intention as I've only had it for about a month so far). Now I don't mind the daily commute so much. Vlightful 05-09-06, 03:34 PM Daily driver with the rumble of corsa! Run thru rain ,sleet, snow(Snow tires) but stay away from hail.
