For the most part of quiet moments I'm constantly smiling about the drive home...

Am I crazy?

I tried so hard to just drive the minivan to work today. After spending all night waxing the 996, I had to drive it in to see it in the daylight!

Oh I definitely think about driving it constantly, but I've only had mine a week.

Not only do I drive it - and think about driving it - I drive it places other people won't even consider...

Guilty as charged - not only do I know the fastest way home, I know many of the LONGEST ways home too...only many because I haven't tried driving east until I end up in the west again...but I'm planning a route!
I get into work early....park in front of my building and then when the parking patrol hits the beat, I move it to my parking lot...sometimes it takes me an hour to move my car one hundred yards! My employees get a good laugh outta that when it happens.
It's become normal for me to take 30 - 45 minutes to make the seven mile commute from work to home! I got a good wife.

my car, my building

It’s my daily driver as well, so luckily I get to spend a couple of hours commuting every day!

I look forward to my 12 min. commute to work everyday. I have a nice twisty drive up to the house and down to the office...

Truth be told - I can’t stand driving mine on the streets of Orlando any more. It’s hot, loud, smells, and EXTREMELY uncomfortable.

But it put it where it was built to go - the track - and it shines.

I love this damn car.

My car has been in the body shop for a month. I'm going crazy.

Has it been gutted and set up as a track car?

I enjoy driving my convertible 996 to commute every day. I'm thinking selling the hard top which has no use in L.A.
