My 'Bird is my daily driver but I work from my home office when not on the road ... mostly quick trips around town with the top down to clear my head at lunch. Unless the weather is really horrendous (Atlanta had its fair share of torrential downpours this year ... red alert smog days are no fun to drive in with the top down) it is the ride of choice for the evening and weekend running around. Still get head snaps, long drive by looks and thumbs up every where we go. Day trips and road trips have never been better since we started driving the 'Bird. 17K fun miles since we brought it home on Valentine's Day 2004. Absolutely the most fun I have ever had on 4 wheels!
Mostly daily driving. The Bird replaced a 50th anny. vette conv.. The vette was not practical for me to use daily. Too noisy, too fast, doors too big, no power top, too little room to put anything and too expensive. When not driving the bird, I drive a Jag XJ.

I watch the weather forecast every morning on TV and see if I should take my T-Bird to work or my pick-up truck. If the forecast is for rain/snow/hail, etc, I take the pick-up. I just got the pick-up in the GM Employee Discount Pricing sale.
