Hi All,
I’m 39 with two kids and currently drive a Model Y, which I’ll be returning soon. My wife drives an IONIQ 9, so that’s what we primarily use for family transportation.
I’ve been seriously considering buying a '69 Mustang Fastback and using it as my daily driver. My commute is only about 10-20 miles each way, and I also do school drop-offs in the morning.
The dilemma is whether a classic car is realistic as a daily. A friend of mine who has owned several classics told me I’ll probably love it at first but eventually get tired of the fumes, lack of modern safety features, less comfortable ride, and generally more demanding driving experience compared to a modern vehicle.
For those of you who own or have daily-driven a '69 Mustang (or other classic muscle cars), what has your experience been? Do you still enjoy driving it every day, or does the novelty wear off after a while?
Am I crazy for considering this, or is it more doable than people think?
