I also used my GTV6 as my daily driver for 7 years and had great fun with it. It
is now in reserve, but still does great when called to active duty...

A word of caution...these cars are up to 18 years old now (hard to believe). I bought
mine when it was 2 years old and still, I had to get it into shape from the previous
owner. Buying a 18 year old car for a daily commuter is very risky unless the PO
was A) a mechanic or B) had sufficient cash and inclination to keep it in good shape.
