Cascade Crew

Red Bird

Hey guys, i just started using my 91 bird as a daily driver, and ive noticed i get to work 10 minutes sooner lol. my 96 corolla crapped out on me and till i get the dough to fix it, the birds gonna be my daily. i was going through my papers from when i bought the car, and ive only put 11000 miles on it since 05. figure id rack some more up there before gas gets so expensive again i cant afford to cruise her daily. who else on here cruises their thirdgen daily? how many miles have you racked up since you got the car? im at 145,000

I daily drive mine. Many times I wish I had a cheap Honda or something to use as a DD so the Camaro wouldn't get so much wear and tear. I put over 10k miles a year on it. Currently, it's at a little more than 150k.

My 92 is my daily and has 233,000 or so. I put on 200+ per week and drive only 1/2 way to work. The 89 just went over 200,000 during the last dyno weekend and has less than 3,000 since last Sept.

Mine was daily driven for a lot of years. I bought it in 98 with 68k on it. I have 245,000 on it now. The mileage has really gone down in the last couple of years though. I was putting a good 30k/year on it for a while.

Daily to Lacey and back, a little over 300 miles per week. I'd rather not do the math on that one since the car was a nice low 82K when I bought it.

Way Old School here...Original Owner, I ordered the Shark in 1983 from Weston Pontiac here in Gresham.
It was the daily driver for years. I drove it on vacation to Cali, Vegas, and loved it!
And then i got married and then had kids, it went in the garage under the cover, and i became one of the SUV group! Shocked

So in 95 I parked it in the garage under the cover, and that was the last time it was registered.
Well until recently, The Shark has new life, new tags, and i am totally digging it again! Very Happy

The last true taste of my bachelorhood! Laughing

Well in amongst the many months of down time, I've put a hair under 100k on my bird in the last 4 years.

And yes, it is my daily when it's functioning. I'd feel like I was neglecting it if I didn't drive it!

Mine is kinda a daily driver over the summer. The past 2 winters since I owned the vert it has been taken apart.

The old hardtop was full daily all year around. Since its a 20mile round trip to work n back. I doubt I am in the high mile club.

my white 1986 firebird has been daily driven since i bought in in 2002 with about 7 months worth of exception. when i first got my GTA it became my daily for the better part of six months, and now because i can't afford to re-register the thing, it sits in the driveway while the GTA is again pulling daily duty. it has a hair under 200,000 on it. i bought it with 114,000. it was originally purchased winter of 85 from Weston Pontiac in Gresham. i have the original invoice.

the GTA has got about 20K on it in three years. i bought it with 135 on the clock and it is up to 155. it was originally purchased in 1988 in Honolulu HI.

i have been daily driving a thirdgen for six years. Smile

Lol, I've put 30k on mine in the last 8 years. Luckily I've lived close to where I work. 10 miles a day is a heavy day!

I daily drive mine. But since The speedo and odometer don't work I really have no idea how many miles I've put on it. I typically put 20 miles a day max on it, thats 5 miles to work home for lunch and back to work again and of course back home. That isn't every day though. most of the time only ten miles per day. I have had three long trips one to dyno one to Chehalis and one to Moses lake and a handful of the 30 mile type. I'd say I average less than 200 per week over the last year.
Odometer showed 126K when I bought it.

Just rolled over 201k miles a bit ago. Daily driver and only put up about 100-200 miles a week depending on how nice it is. I'll be getting another car, hopefully another camaro so I can have my own car for work, when I find a job, that is. haha
