Every day. Can't believe I suffered though a twelve-year gap without having one. Even full stock, the Fiero's the most comfortable car I've ever driven, either piddlin' along or trying to find its limits. Now I want to find another one, so I can modify one and still have a Fiero to drive in the interim.

One of these days, though, I've got to find some wheel time in an '88, to see whether it's really that much better, or if all y'all just been smokin' the wrong stuff.

My Coupe was a daily driver for a couple of years.. Now I only drive it in the summer.. It gets put away for the winter snow and salt.

I have three vehicles that I put on the road in the summer so I when I dig the Fiero out, I only drive it 1/3 of the time..

7 days a week, though I try to alternate between the 3 of them so they all get drive time, when they are all working, I usualy try to keep one down for upgrades

5 to 7 days a week, but usually not more than 5 miles a day (I'm not working right now, and when I was I worked 1.8 miles from my house), but I do let friends drive my Fieros, so they get used a little more. My 88 coupe managed to get an average of 9k a year on it, my 85 GT will probably only be about 5k.

I drive mine almost every day, for years already. Yesterday the driverside door was frozen stuck so I had to get in from the other side... Its pretty dirty and salty too this winter, so with all the work put into this car I am seriously thinking about getting a beater for the next winter.

*Raises hand* I drive it to school and work 5 days a week, and I also drive it the other 2 days whenever I need to go somewhere, so I guess I drive it everyday of the week.

At least 5 days a week. 25 miles each way to work. so thats 250 miles a week. That is when its working. If it breaks, I drive the truck, but at 15mpg or less, its a lot more pricey to drive than my 30-35mpg Fiero.

Almost every day. If I know I need to carry more than one person along, then the other car comes out of the garage... the one with a back seat. I love driving it too much to not drive it every day.

haha, if i only drove it 5days a week it'd be getting a break.
in the summer i drive my gt 7 days a week. keep in mind i have school AND work, so i have places to be everyday, and it gets me where i need to be.
in the winter i drive the 86SE, again 7 days a week.

every now and then i get a sunday off, but realistically speaking, i drive plenty to consider it an everyday car, and it's not like i have a second choice if something fails. maybe in the summer, my backup would be the SE, but either way, if you see me, and i'm not driving a fiero, something is wrong

I only drive my Fiero. Everyday. I drive and spend soooo much time in a Fiero. In Vegas doing mobile computer repair, I was doing over 200 miles a day. I used to deliver pizza in my old one then go cruise the rest of the night, everynight, untill about 5 am. 30,000 miles on that one in a few months. In one of my other old Fieros I used to do Film Crew Security and spend 12 hrs at a time in my Fiero minus the walking around time. So yeah whatever Fiero I happen to have running at the time gets DRIVEN.

Everyday driver! Rain, Snow, sleet, try to avoid hail. I drive it 60 miles a day for work and back. Then anywhere else I go. Other than that.. if I am home and it snows bad enough I'll take my 4x4 just because I learned street tires suck in the snow. It recently snows here in Colorado and any hill I went up I was sideways and speedo read about 65 *GRIN* But I made it up!

I drive my GT five days a week, but I don't drive it in the snow. So I guess that would be five days a week April/May - October/November depending on the weather.

Hands up.......7 days a week driver until I took it down two months ago to do some modifications. I.e. install 3800 sc, 4-spd auto transmission, body mods, etc. Until that time, I was putting about 2000 miles a month commuting to work.
