i might consider driving a classic as a daily but there are two big reasons i don't. first and foremost, safety. i love the feeling of putting my two small kids in the back of my 2500HD crew, knowing we have stability control, antilock side impact air bags, etc. it's just not worth the risk to me to put them in the back of my GTO or something along those lines on a daily basis. once in a while on a weekend drive? sure. every day to school and back? never.
the second thing is reliability. i like to go deep into the idaho back country as often as possible. we've taken my 72 K10 back with us but only when we also had a newer vehicle along for the trip. i trust my 72 pretty well but when you are fifty miles from the nearest hard road there is something to be said for having something newer with you!
