The only thing flat earthers fear, is sphere itself.

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came .... now in 4spd flavor

I don't have a daily or even weekly e body.
Just a race car Ebody.

But,
I have multiple regular daily's.
67 barracuda
73 imperial
73 sport satellite custom
71 newport
69 pontiac grand prix
77 ramcharger

I drive the cars at least once a week around town. 10 miles or so each.
Truck does get neglected (beast)  as well as the 73 Imperial (parasitic battery drain).

I really really want a daily E body. 
There may be one in my future.

I drive mine regularly after the snow goes. If the forecast is rain I generally leave it in the garage.

Yes! I drive mine at least 3 times a week, weather permitting. I live in Houston so it is mostly summer that keeps it garaged, black top & black interior gets pretty hot. Been driving it every day this past week, awesome weather so had the top down  :D

I've put on about 5-6000 miles on my Challenger in 3 years or so. What's the sense of having such a car and spending that much money on it, to push it on the trailer to the next stationary car show? I asked a guy at Moparfest with a nice 70 Challenger if his car didn't run, as I watched he and his helper push it off the trailer and into it's spot and he informed me that, yes, it would run, BUT if you did that, :unbelievable:  then the overspray on the exhaust manifolds, that duplicated the factory paint scheme, would burn off!! Jesus Christ!  :unbelievable:

Mine should be on the road this spring or early summer. The idea is to drive as much as I can. Probably limited during the rain though. These cars are too cool to leave in a garage.

One of my greatest pleasures in life is driving my convertible top down or my Magnum T tops off on a nice warm day!  During cruise season both cars get out at least once a week, I really try to alternate the cars to split their usage as close to 50% each as I can.
My T/A almost never goes out and I can't say I'm proud of that, but between the manual steering, the stiff clutch, and it being pristine so I get nervous about leaving it unattended at a cruise or show, I don't get motivated.  Just not fun like the vert and Magnum.
I did drive the V code Challenger often when I had garage space at home for it.  Even though it's a stick car, the power steering makes it a lot more user friendly for my driving pleasure.  Until it came to longer trips that is.  That 4:10 rear makes highway driving a little cringeworthy!

I'll drive my 70 Cuda 2-3 times a month. Each time 25-30 miles including 10mile stretch of Interstate.
