Default My 928 will be a DAILY DRIVER!!!!!!!!

Its official......the wife sold my daily beater (I mean driver) to her sister.....so it will be gone soon with a nice $$$ deposit in our bank account.... :>) So that "promotes" (or demotes?) the 928 to my 4 day a week grind of driving to work....

You know whats disturbing...I'm actually looking forward to it......sharky runs better when daily driven anyway...my work is pretty safe so I don't have to worry about it getting messed up (benefit of parking in front of the PD)..... So the 928 will get at least 4 months of daily driver until our next vehicle arrives.....& even then I might "split" daily driver with the new one.....

Congrats Brian!

I've been rotating between the 3 for DD enjoyment as well, although for your situation, you need to figure how to get a little lost so you get to work in ~25min ;-)

Have Fun!!

My God Brian. Are you crazy. That's like 1500 miles a year you will be piling on that poor car. Oh, the humanity.

For the last four years my '80 has been my daily driver except during the snowy season. I love it!

The way I see it sharky gets about 4000 miles a year anyway....adding in my brutal 24 mile per week commute (I only work 4 days a week)....is an "extra" 1248 miles.....so I might pile on 5000 per year now? Okay I'll be wild and crazy and call it 6000 per year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :>)
