    Mine is my Daily, only vehicle I own. 2013 R/T with close to 150k miles. Just to and from work is 60 miles. Well maintained tho and I rarely drive it crazy.

    Being supercharged with additional mods the fuel consumption is significant but I won't be happy in something with less hp. I insure it all year and usually drive it weekly, a couple of times a week in summer. Fortunately I'm not invested to nearly the degree all comparables are priced at so I should quit whining. Which begs the question: Are current sellers getting their asking prices? The current market seems ridiculously over priced to me ie the Corvette market which is saturated with availability and which it appears none of it is selling. Thoughts?

    My 2014 R/T is driven about once per week. I split daily driving between my 2013 Rallye Redline and my Hyundai.

    I drive mine was weather permits, which is not a choice, and went with weekly.

    If it ain't raining, I usually drive it, it's what I got it for after all - but sometimes it's a couple of weeks between drives as well.

    Sometimes I drive mine more than once a month but with four collector cars I try to give each one equal driving time. My daily driver is my 2020 Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie sport !

    Its my daily driver. I'm an old retired mechanic/gearhead. I have owned and worked on 10 second cars. I don't race it. I'm not fast and furious on the public roads. I just feel very comfortable in a 2 door coupe with a rumbling V8. As for practicality like the home depot or shopping runs, I told my wife she can have any new car she wants as long as its an SUV of some type.

    Most of the time it’s once a month, sometimes less, sometimes 2-5 times a month. It’s a 2016 and has 5,000 miles.
