Daily Driver Shoutout!! I'm a college student and proud owner of a 2002 NBM m6 SS. It has 133,000 miles and is my daily driver. I feel some guilt in having to drive it everyday although it has alot of miles on it already. I just hardly ever see any ls1 cars on the street in my town. Just curious if anybody else has a daily driver and if so the mileage and mods??

DD mine at 56K, basically stock.
Don't feel bad about the miles, if its maintained right they shouldn't really matter.

I DD mine too and it just rolled over 104,000 miles, but I take care of it like crazy so it looks and runs great
NY winters are tough though so i am in the market to buy a winter beater. Other than that my commute is 30 miles everyday but the car makes it so much funner. My mods are below...
