Daily Drivers? - Just curious

Do many of you guys here have big block Chargers that you use as daily drivers? If so, how many miles a year do you drive? I'd really like to sell my driver now and put that money into my Charger and use it as a driver, but I drive 15k+ (mostly highway) a year and I am thinking the gas would KILL me.

Oops nevermind. I tried searching for related posts last night at home and my connection crashed and I gave up. Now at work, I forgot that I didnt have a successful search last night and posted this. Now that I have a working connection, I see other posts that address this. Sorry, I am good now.

Yeah, it's been dealt with lots of times before.





It's not very feasible in most cases.  It probably won't be much of a money-saver even then.  Even good resto work on these cars tends to unravel pretty fast in daily driving when compared to a modern vehicle.  And preserving the body from bad weather is a challenge in most states of the USA even on an occasional driver. 


You have to be living in a dry place.  Gotta have all good (not just car-guy "good") electricals throughout the car.  And you'd better have it geared pretty damn high or an O/D if you care about the drivetrain in it.

I use my 400Magnum engine Charger daily all day long on a heavy transit city, with A/C, and Caracas is a Valley with lots of the streets on hills... don't ask me how many miles or mileage, since filling the Gas tank with US$3 is not really something to take numbers.
