I would drive it to work, if I would only work lol. I'm a student, and I don't work at this time (don't have time) but my SC is a DD, and I drive it everywhere. It's a car after all.

i drive mine everywhere. its more like a stock soarer with a FMIC and 3" exhaust and thats it. So shes pretty dependable. My other car is a 01 stang with 100 shot of nitrous and 4.10s so the gas doesnt stay in the tank as long as the Lex

I daily drove mine 300 miles a week to and from school for three years. As soon as i graduated, i bought a '95 civic for a daily driver. I have just under $2000 in it and i get 34 mpg for my 100 mile a day commute.

These days, i do like Cherplex...

I just got tired of the gas mileage and racking up miles. I do work on a construction site though so when i drive it, i park where i can see it from my office.

I am a piano teacher and do stage rigging. At the stage rigging job people love my car, and where I teach piano it isnt really a big deal...although I've noticed a few moms looking at me like a predator or something.

Mine is the daily driver. I have light modifications, due to me wanting to keep the reliabilty.
Just turned 169K on my 1992 SC400.

Crappy gas mileage is part of the SC experience . I have a CRX HF if I feel like doing 45mpg on road trips, otherwise i'd rather be driving my SC

My cousin has a CRX and thats actually what i wanted when i bought the Civic but i couldn't find one for as little as i was wanting to pay.

I could probably get a lot better mileage if i stayed off the gas but that's just not gonna happen.

I drive mine every day also. I sold a 1996 Corvette to buy a 96 SC400. I used to think the mileage on my vette was bad! Man, this thing goes through gas like no car I've ever seen... I don't really care though, the driving experience is so much better it's more than worth it.

I use to drive mine everyday and I drove it hard everyday. BUT I got a new job in a truck yard and with the humangus pot holes and the river of water that would accumilate when it rains help me make my decision into buying a truck for everyday use. But if it wasent for those things I prob would still be driveing it
