    Nope. Was for a while then we put a camper on it and then moved to a place with room for three cars. She sits and waits for the fun to happen.

    Yep, my daily driver. 60 mile round trip for work everyday from home to work and back. Was easier when I was working an alternating 3 and 4 day work week, 12hr shifts at night. Since switching to a standard work week I'm looking at finding a commuter car.

    I had a commuter car until recently when it became my wife's car. I probably won't get another one since my side business that I use my '10 Tundra for is starting to become my main job. The '07 I had up for sale became my commuter/back up vehicle for the time being until i buy a work van. The '07 runs good though and it's not worth a lot. The way new vehicles are going with planned obsolescence it's hard to let it go.

    I had a 2006 Tundra (bought new) for 12 years and sold it to my daughter so I could get my 2018 (also bought new). Both Tundras were (and are) daily drivers unless I take my 2014 Yamaha FJR1300 A when the weather is good.

    I started riding motorcycles when I was in the 6th grade in 1961 (on an air base). Dad was a life-long motorcycle enthusiast and it was in our blood. Motorcycles were (and are) a part of my life and any woman I got involved with either accepted that or didn't last long. Same with flying aircraft and sport parachuting as well as guns and reloading. My hobbies and passions stay and are not negotiable.

    If I were to push it I could get another.
    But at this point I'd rather have a Lake House and a couple Boats.
    Started riding around 11 and sold my last road bike a couple years ago.
    I do miss it for sure!!
    Nothing better than hitting the back road twisties with Motor Head jamming in my ears!!

    I have a work vehicle, so it's not a daily driver, but my 2019 has 104,000 smiles..... miles. It is the vehicle of choice out of the three in the driveway ! :cool:

    When I was commuting, yes. But I've been able to work from home for the better part of the last two years now, so the Tundy gets used for odd trips and wheelin.

    I also need to say that wherever possible, I wanted my life partner (girlfriend, wife) to join me in my endeavors if she wanted. We would go on motorcycle trips together (camping, travelling, etc.), I would fly with her either around the area or visit her sister down in Reedly (by Fresno) or other fun destinations. I offered to teach the fundamentals of handling guns and we could enjoy that together. Sport parachuting was an area that I did alone (no interest from partners but made good ground crews, etc.).

    My Tundra sits under a car cover and gets driven maybe three times a month. I use my f250 as my daily but I'm selling it soon, my Tundra was and is intended to pull a trailer for a couple months as soon as the f250 sells. Bought my f250 new in 05, 253k on it and has been great but its starting to cost me with frequent issues as it ages.

    It is my daily driver when I don’t have a motorcycle. Still doesn’t get driven a whole lot since I only commute to the office twice a week. I’ve put about 90k on it in the eight years I’ve owned it. Love driving it and hope it lasts at least another eight years.

    Yes! It's the only vehicle I own and I love it. Though I WFH 4 days a week, I go to our school barn 2x/day to take my kids to care for their pigs and if course run errands and get pig feed & shavings.

    Daily driver adventure rig. Its always dirty and beat up. Sticks out like a sore thumb next to work colleagues Teslas and Benzes. Completely worth the crappy MPG. I love it.
