So now GS is weekends only.....I really miss driving it everyday.

Hey , why do you have to take the subway now? Getting tired of getting $115 parking tickets in NYC? .. I know I am...

I dont see how you cant drive the GS everyday... It is an everyday car... i could see if it was a Z06 or Viper or Supra... But its a very nice everyday and a fun car also...

I couldnt let my GS sit

Its not so much that it "cant' be driven daily, I just do not "choose" to drive it daily. Fortunately, I have a second car (03 Taurus), so I dont have to take my car out when its nasty, or for "grunt work" (carrying bumpers, and shocks, and crap can be tough on beige leather ). I notice that I can build up "coats" of wax more easily since the car is a driveway surfer under the cover.

My car is a daily driver when i'm in the city (with all the potholes and all), and it does just fine.

oh i guess we have different definitions of daily driver then. to me, i will drive my car daily, but say if i have to go to some very bad neighborhood at night, or places where potholes are like no tomorrow, then bringing the GS is asking for suicide. however say taking my GS for long trip to las vegas? i am all for it

yeah ur right Rom, my car sits in the driveway M-F but on weekends, if I drive down to NY, I have to drive it everywhere I go (cant tow my Taurus with the GS ). I am also like you in that i love taking my car on road trips (NY is a 3hr drive, and the car has been to NC which was about 11-12hrs)
