i average driving mine once a month, I'm too paranoid to even think about driving it to work at all. it has averaged 3K per year since i have owned it
Love my Stang, but don't know how you guys who drive them daily do it

I DD my '03 now and my '93 5.0 was my first car which I DD'd for 5 years. I love DDing mustangs. light and agile, easy to park, decent gas mileage, and way better performance than 90% of the cars on the road. When i need something big moved, i call my mom and use her expedition. Done deal.

it's easy, i'm a 20 year old college student living his youth to the fullest
Hope it stays that way with age. No more text messages about getting rid of the car!JK
Drove my Ford Van today. What a pleasure it was to be up high, with AC and no noise except for the radio.

Can't beat the view from up high. I can see everything in my truck. I feel like people are trying to dart out and kill me in my stang. Can't see chit!

Haha try daily driving a Miata! Mine makes the Mustang feel like an SUV in comparison.
agree, cant let the 02 sit in parking lots....dont want to think about door dings. ...the paint is flawless believe it or not.
I believe it because mine is also. when I do drive it to work, I only park where no door ding is even possible. It hasn't got a single flaw in almost nine years...ain't gonna start now. I sacrifice an '08 hyundai for that duty.

It is and I DD my Mustangs for about 6 years but it gets old fast driving a manual during rush hour, in the DC/Metro area.
Plus having 400 hp is such a tease in such heavy traffic. Shoot, my '02 Bolt-on and geared GT was fun as hell but it sucked after a while because of all the damn traffic. It's a little better though during the summer however.

the clutch is the only thing that keeps me sane in traffic 
...I spend almost 1.5 hours driving 45 miles yesterday (and the first and last 15 or was was at full freeway speeds)...it was only about 100* outside
I get that a heavily modded Mustang stops being practical, I had to (mostly) stop DDing my 66 when I put in the 351 Cleveland, but for the most part a Mustang is a daily driver kinda car

I wish I knew the feeling of full freeway speeds, if the highway actually open enough to cruise I'd drive mine every day.
Esp if you have a 'vert in SoCal

I use mine as a DD, but I wish I didn't have to. Can't even afford a clunker right now...besides, I drive 35 miles one way to work everyday and I'd need something better than a clunker for dependability. I love driving the Mustang, but I wish I could have a DD so it would last longer. Today I found another ding in it...and it just worries me that it will be old very quickly from driving it everyday. I want it to last because I love the car.....and being I am close to retirement age, I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford another one.
I DD mine because it's my only car. I do at times trade a buddy for his Yaris if I going to be doing a lot of miles to save money on gas. I get about 19mpg in the stang and 36 in the Yaris. I hate that it's stock still though. I got spoiled when I had an SRT4, average 23mpg and make about 500whp was nice. But I am in the middle of building the stang up from the back to the front. Figure because of money should take about 2 years to finish it off and I will still DD it and should be able to get low 10's high 9's with it. Auto transmission is nice to have as well a good break for my bad left knee
