Default Is your Stang your primairy transportation?

My new Stang gets here in a few weeks, and it will be my every day driving car. Just curious if other posters are in the same boat or if their Stangs are purely recreational

The Mustang is my hobby car. I have an old beater I use for every day. If something happens to that I will not be too concerned.
Alos, I live in Canada. There is no way to keep a vehicle in good condition here in the winter so I will park my baby for the winter. The road conditions here are so bad in the winter that there is no way to enjoy a performance car anyway so I park it for that reason also. Also, idiots + icy roads = accidents. Another reason to drive a beater in the winter. For me the hardest part of owning a Mustang will be going from late october to mid april without driving it!
Maybe I should move to the US....

My Tacoma stayed in the family (father bought it) so I can drive that when the weather gets bad. But my Mustang is now my daily driver.

Unfortunately, I couldn't keep my prior car -- needed to use it to pay off this 'Stang, plus cheaper insurance, etc. Worse yet, my commute is around 70 miles roundtrip. Uggghh. But I'm all smiles to and from work now!
