But my Uncle, who's been an engineer for multiple car companies in Detroit for over 40 years said the same thing and called it a shame if this car is used for a daily driver. I say it's a car and should be driven but that doesn't seem to be the consensus.

Screw that, drive it. It's not like you have to worry about hail or taking it out in the snow and ice.
I'd say exceptions
might be...
- if you go on frequent road trips during weekends or whatever and have a chance to enjoy it then... but, if you're not driving it daily and you're not driving it regularly on the weekends, WTF buy it?
- if you have like a 50 mile commute... it would kind of be a shame to put that many miles on it so quickly. In that case I might consider only commuting a couple times a week.
And to answer your question in the other thread, hell yes it's going to be my daily driver. I might buy a beater for bad weather days, but even the hail my car has been subjected to has popped back in hot weather, so I'm not terribly worried about it.
