Count me in the "daily drove my classic" crowd. My '70 GMC was my first car, and I put roughly 50,000 miles on it over the five years or so it filled that role.

The thing that worries me most about DDing a classic, though, is insurance / wrecks / theft. Insurance that will let you use it as a daily driver tends to also be insurance that sees "old car = worthless car". Hagery and the like will properly protect your vehicle, but at the expense of no longer allowing it to be your daily driver.

I'd rather be able to drive my truck less, than not at all because someone stole it, so I've gone the Hagerty route with more modern daily drivers, starting with when I blew up the 700R4; the GMC hasn't been a daily by any stretch since the LS1 got swapped in, even though it's probably better suited to it now than ever before.
