Mine gets on the road every day.  Among other things, I load my geriatric three-legged dog in the back every day at dusk and we go catch the sunset together at some nice location.

Generally speaking, I I use it for everything that my Miata's not suitable for.

I drive my Limited every day until I get the 250 HP engine into my other wagon and then that one will be my daily driver . ( it has factory tow package)  Then I would restore the Limited.

I only own two cars, an 83 sx4 and an 85 wagon. So yes I daily drive them  ;D
I Don't know why. But everybody's always talking about their STI or That guys EVO, I think I'll stick with my old, but reliable AmC. Did I ever tell you I was Full blooded Eagle?

Except for the usual wear and tear of 182k miles and 32 years our Eagle is still a reliable daily driver. My wife and I got into ours a couple of weeks ago, and before the day was done it carried us over 200 miles.

Best wishes, gz, for a successful build of your daily driver. :eagle:

1983 Eagle Limited Wagon, parts; sold

2007 Hyundai Accent, radical downsize from minivan, wife's car and she loves it!

"The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."--John W. Gardner, in "Excellence: Can We Be Equal and Excellent Too?" (1961)

Air-conditioning is so cool!
