Do you daily your balt or nah?

Another thread inspired me to ask the question for my purposeless data collection.

Do you daily your balt, or do you have another DD to keep your pride and joy nice and shiney?

Or, do you have another nicer car and you DD your cobalt to keep THAT car nice?

Or do you even DD a cobalt to keep your other cobalt nice or racecarish?

With the changing market of cobalt owners I am guessing most daily theirs, but I wanna see the numbers!

FTR, I used to DD my balt until i aquired a truck, then the balt quickly became much more racercar/nice day driver. Haha

Lol I DD a busted up, noAC 00 cavi and keep my LS nice and pretty atm. But soon as I find the right deal on a ss/tc the cavi is gonna be the bad weather winter beater abd my ls is gonna be my main DD so the SS stays pristine


Ps: should've added the poll option "Daily my Cobalt to keep my other Cobalt nice".

Cobalt is my only car. Plan is to eventually pick up a weekend car and the Cobalt will officially be the daily.

I bought my Balt and it was my DD for 2 years. Ended up being modified to the extent it would never make it in the winter so I bought a winter beater haha.

I DD'ed my lsj for 4 years, picked up a 00 corolla last fall as my daily. Now the cobalt gets driven 5 miles a week if its lucky lol. Poor guy is begging for the track.

The cobalt just collects pollen in the driveway.

If I didn't DD my Cobalt I'd never drive it. I have a Miata with (very) future plans but I wouldn't say that I don't drive it to keep it "nice."

When I first got it yes. It was my daily. Then as the mods started to roll in, the less I drove it. Now it sits there getting parts put on constantly.
Has 33k miles. 2007 lsj. I daily a Honda now. B4 it was a crap load of cars.
Maybe the cobalt will be worth more money with low miles? What ya think.

I dunno. as much as I wanna say yes, I say no. cus its not a low production, rare or collector car, or special or anything.

don't get me wrong. I love cobalts, but I know low miles wont help.

I've driven my SS in Manhattan before. stop being a p*ssy! Besides, it's much more fun to cut people off with a fast compact car rather than a slow one.

With the Cobalt nobody gets by lol

Why can't I daily drive my Cobalt and keep it nice, this should have been a 4th option.
