German salt is uber destructive during the winter and I already had to do a rear window gap rust fix, so rain and snow is a no-go for me.

I choose the 993 or motorcycle on sunny days when I can enjoy them most, and rock the Focus when I just need to concentrate to get from A to B.

My other car is a bicycle...

I bought my 993 as a weekend car 6 years ago and I never intended to dd it.

So is German salt somehow more corrosive than Canadian salt? Or just less polite?

I bought my car a year ago and I put about 10K on it. While I do not use it to commute with I try to drive it every day. My commute is less than a mile, so I use the bicycle for that. The trips out to California, those really add on the miles (about 1K per trip). While I think about the miles, I don't plan on selling the car, so the "value" is not really important to me.

Use mine to **** of my neighbors (thanks fister III's and cat bypass) and of course to get my dose of adrenaline.

I bought a cosmetically challenged salvage title 993 to daily drive. The other 2 have become garage queens not because I'm worried about piling on the miles, but instead because I don't want either of them to disappear from a parking spot. 993s are tough. I've owned my first 993 for 17 years and it has proved to be one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. These cars are from a time before Porsches were built to a price. Unfortunately, I've seen too many accounts of them get stolen and presumably being sent overseas.

I'm using mine to commute, but my daily commute is 7 miles round trip plus occasional business trips into SF or Sacramento. A trip to SF is ~30 miles round trip so even as a DD, my 993 isn't getting that much mileage added to it.

Some point when I have a garage, the 993 will likely get relegated to garage queen and/or track toy. 'Til then it is DD duty in beautiful Northern California. Life could be worse...

Daily the 993 as much as possible, otherwise use the subi for winter weather and utility etc. Love both cars they each serve a purpose. The porsche is an amazing machine and the subaru is a great and very capable car.
X3 that DC traffic sucks. Always in my Subaru or gf's beetle in the city.

Thats what the Volt and carpool lane sticker are for. I would rather put fun miles on the 993.

Mine is a DD only because I work from home and can keep mileage pretty low, less than 5000 per year. I will use wife's car when I can. If I had to put 12000+ on a car, doubt if I would on the 993.

Never did use mine for daily use and wouldn't want to. I have much more comfortable cars for sitting in traffic.

I have seen what winter roads have done to many of my cars and only drive mine when the roads clear up, I don't mind getting caught in the rain (except salty winters) but don't usually take her out if I know it's coming, I do manage to clock about 5 k a year on her just the same.

From delivery and throughout the decade, the coupe was a summer only ride. A 2 year Germany home land stretch with Werk 1 enhancements has fond memories; gearbox, suspension, etc. Europe Autobahn's have there moments although a day long country side excursion is best. A road trip over to SpA .... yeah baby.

As of several years ago ...... to present.
Dry weather and the coupe always gets the nod for daily driver duty, plus, can't get enough of a recent transformative stereo enhancement; at long last and all stealth. The coupe was built to be driven, not worshiped. Well, worshiped and driven. Catchy eh.. I see a Poster with a tag line.

Wet weather and the good ole VW MY06 GTI (MkV) get's the call for duty. (RoW suspension/brakes, Full Monty VW Phaeton/Dynaudio mod.) Great DD the GTI... once stuck a snowmobile in the hatch, the freak'in rear axle..

Colorado wet weather car is a Subi MY05 Outback XT wagon. (official CO state car) JDM Bilstein BTS suspension kit, stealth.

I love my car when I'm in the mood to use it, but it's too small and I worry about it getting hit/keyed/scratched too much to use it every day.
