Just wondering who here uses their CA as daily drivers? ( not asking if it is a good one ) just a simple poll

Hopefully I'll be running in a few days, then I'll change my vote to daily instead of no/in garage haha

Mine was a daily before it went back into the garage. It was still running alright when I garaged it, but it was burning oil pretty badly on decel. (bad rings) When I get it back together it will be a daily again though.

im in the same boat as ryan. ran fine but needed a rebuild for safety's sake, so its in the garage. it was and will be my daily driver when its running, which will be by friday, topps. today if i can wrangle up some friends to help me out.

until then i get to cruise around in......my friend's brand freaking new 6spd 2005 audi s4!!! its so freaking awesome. you cant argue with 250+lb/ft of torque at 1750rpm, and 304lb/ft at 3500!

I drive it around once every couple days. Soon it will be everyday because I don't want to turn in my lease with belts showing on the tires. Right now I'm having the front and rear bumpers repainted. Yeah.
