2001 S500 with 43,000 miles - bought it from my father in law to replace the previous daily driver, an '04 Chevy Tahoe Z71 (which was an awesome vehicle - I wish I had room to keep that too, but it's been sold)

'02 C2 with 67k miles (and counting) is my daily driver. Why would I want to drive anything else (that I could afford) in Socal?

Had a CLK500, was going to keep it but I stopped driving it as soon as the C4S joined the family. P-car is the daily driver!

I am quite surprised to see how many members (and "users" ) don't drive their P-Cars every day...

My 996 is my daily driver...take the kids to school each morning and then to the office. Wouldn't have it any other way!

Kevin - you live in the great LA area - you should understand - I would drive mine every day, but I would go crazy having to shift through 6 gears in gridlock every single day. I have to deal with the 101, 134, and 210 every damn day...if traffic were different, I would surely drive it daily, but instead drive it to the office once or twice a week and try to get some fun in on the weekend.

I used to make that same drive everyday (Altadena), but luckily it was at 6:15 in the morning.

6 gears on a commute? chance would be a fine thing... I'm lucky if I make it out of 4th.

I need to go back and get my masters I guess. I don't even come close to most of your daily's. I keep my 996 for the nice weekends or when I might be off during the week. Drive a '92 Camery for day to day. Only drive about 3 miles to work. Not worth putting miles and door dings just go drive it to work.

I've got a 3 mile "commute", and I've got a 1995 525iT (with the famous double sunroof) to make sure all 6 round trip miles don't go on the 996.

i have a 96 subaru, but it is only used to transport mountain bike, skiing gear and on heavy snow / salt days. The C4s is the daily driver. even getting to and from work might as well enjoy it.
