Anyone else daily driving?

Just wondering how many of us are out here dailying Shelby’s?

anyone run into some issues unique to using the car daily as opposed to a weekend toy?

To this day I’m beyond impressed with the lack of issues I’ve had, driving rain or shine in south Florida’s murderously hot weather.

I drive mine every day. I put around 10-11k miles a year on it.

I daily drive mine, issue is I have a smile every day when I drive it , my only complaint is heat soak on the brutal summer days down here.

This last few weeks of cooler temps has been the first time I got to enjoy the car without it bieng a heat soaked, boggy, mess lol

Im in north GA, so I agree with the heat soak during the hot summer months. Other than that, no issues at all. I daily drive mine and keep my foot down and usually tires smokin! I have never had a garage queen and never will...My life consists of daily driving and/or working on and modifying it. Love live us muscle car enthusiasts!

maybe soon I will have a 13/14 to daily-ish drive

Be patient and keep searching man. They are becoming more available here lately for slightly better pricing. I guess it is due to age and the new 2020’s becoming available.

unpatiently awaiting for my department of boost titanic HE to show up to see if it cures heat soak a little , and definately looking in to either buying of fabing up a good heat exctractor hood.

I drive mine daily, just passed 50K miles and January will be six years since I picked it up. No issues, just swapped tires from MPSS to AS 3+ as I am planning a move out of SoCal in 21'. Also, changed out plugs and gonna swap tranny fluid out.

I’m running as3s and they’re honestly fantastic. I like a little slip anyway. Just I’m about 200 away 70,000

I've daily driven 3 different Gt500s over the years. Now im in another 2014 and it's my daily.

Albeit mine is only a 12, it gets driven as much as possible March-November. I upgraded to the AS3 as well as they are amazing. It's wonderful knowing you can set the cruise at 75 in the rain and don't have to break a sweat. 35* morning? No problem.

michelin all season 3’s just thier all season alternative to the PSS tires

Aside from the insurance benefit, having a lesser DD keeps the Shelby feeling more special to me.
But I DD a Hellcat Charger so I get it
Great time to be a gear head.

That’s funny, the guy I got the shelby from had gotten a demon and that’s his new DD so he didn’t need the shelby anymore.

I can go buy w/e right now. But it's a recipe for disaster having 2 Shelby payments. Like my daddy said, "just cause you can, doesn't mean you should." LOL

To the DD tropic,
I (this is just me), enjoy taking a break from 700hp for a week or two and than getting into it. Feels like a whole new feeling and car. I think that's what keeps me motivated to make my next car payment every month. Thats just me though

And damn some of you all do drive your cars, 70k miles?? lol good on you not bashing
