How many of you use the 6gc as a daily driver? Options

Going to start using mine in November. What are some go-to things I should check on or maintain to ensure reliability? Thanks.

DDing for 3 years of almost complete reliability. When I say almost, the one instance it failed, the radiator decided to crack. Should of known about flushing fluids, but I learned all about radiator's and it hasn't given me trouble yet.

I have to admit though, it is a bit scary sometimes the sounds I hear. Two days ago it sounded like one of my cylinder's was not firing, shaking my engine bay and basically dying when I was not on the accelerator. I wiggled the spark plug wires and the issue hasn't come back for any starts I've had yet.

Within the first year of driving the battery was replaced looking basically brand new, for some odd reason it was failing to charge the battery, so I learned all about jumper cables. I was almost late for work, fortunately for me a nice couple was there to help me out. After replacing the battery, it has not given me any signals of bad alternator or anything.

The oxygen sensor was super old on my car, it looked as if it had never been changed. Eventually I replaced that along with the stock CAT, the first one, in order to pass smog.

On cold starts for my car, I have to hold the gas pedal a bit (usually about 3-5 seconds) until it can reliably feed the gas into my system. Hasn't been a problem and I bought the car like this.

One thing that I noticed rather recently is that the bolts holding the seats to the car has become loose, to the point where I can unscrew it with just my fingers. Definitely going to keep on that, the last thing you want is your seat not being bolted down in a car crash.

It's an old car, so at this point it is old car issues relative across the board. Suspension is getting old, brakes are getting old, bolts are coming loose, belts need to be replaced, hoses should be checked regularly.

Despite all of this, it has been a very reliable car.
