Does anyone still truly "Daily drive" their DeLorean?

[DeLorean]

I do not do this with mine... but I am fairly sure my car could perform this task if the need arose, at least for a while...

Does anyone still truly use theirs as a Daily driver? Your go-to car. Grocery story, work, sams club, trips to see granmmy DMV, etc...

Anyone?

No. In fact, I haven't driven mine in a couple of months. Anytime the weather is nice, I end up driving the MX5.

I do, I used to use it as a weekend car but for the past 6+ months I've been using it as my daily. Hopefully when I finish school and get a real job I can go back to using it as a weekend car

Yes.

When it is not winter.

I would say 10,000+ miles a year counts as a daily driver. So my answer would be yes.

But you don't rely upon it as such. The milage is immaterial, if the D is part of a multiple car family, and the other vehicles aren't someone else's. Then it's not DD. I'd defiantly not put a 10,000 mile a year car in "garage queen" status either. It's certainly driven. But in this case it comes down to a matter of opinion. I suppose if you drive the D to work more frequently than the Geo, it would qualify.

I drive the D to work on Monday and Wed and sometimes Friday. It usually gets driven wherever I go during the weekend as well. I consider it a semi daily driver.

Ok that's fair. It's a pride thing for me. 1258 is mostly a garage queen / weekend fun car, just because of the configuration of my driveway. But I get a kick out of knowing that she could be used as a daily driver if I wanted.

The D is a car afterall. I say DRIVE IT! My car wouldn't have to be perfect, but certainly useable.
