Daily driver, all the way, and since I'm in Socal, it'll be a year-round thing. I will probably take to the track, and to shows, but she ain't no trailer queen!!

I'm going "no winter" daily driver. Occasional track time. We have 20" of snow right now and the streets are white from the salt. My car's on a no salt diet.

I put mine as a daily driver.
But its purpose is to embarass SUVs and be a fun camper for the weekends. I doubt the '66 Westi bus will ever be that great on the turns, but it is fun trying. It is just too top heavy to make a great canyon carver out of it... But my idea of good handling is pretty high so the bus will still be no slouch. ... I hate big POS gas guzzling SUVs total posuer wanna be a-holes. Unsafe at any speed piles of dog poop. God forbid people buy realistic cars like a Passat wagon or Volvo wagon if they need more space. Yes some SUVs actually get used properly but that is less than 1% of them and those are the ones who could care less about leather and a navigation system!

I built Hummbug for my girlfriend. It will be a semi-daily driver, unless I can come up with an air conditioning system. Then I would likely never see her (girlfriend) or the car again for it being driven all year long. (summers are hot in NC) Mabye a show car on occaision, definite embarrassment to little Ricers and Boy Racers who think their cars look SOOOO original.
I've decided to sell my '66 sedan so I can find/build/drive a 1303 in the same fashon as Hummbug. Yetibone
