During those 3 months I drove my si, I approximately put 7000 miles on it
Yes I drive a lot
From my house to school which I go 3 days a week is about 70 miles round trip plus I go on a road trip a lot all over California.
And si is way more comfortable and better gas mileage
Furthermore, driving a CR on LA road condition gets very annoying at times
So I think it is a better idea to DD the si.
But yea it's not so smart move to pay interest for loan and insurance if Its just gonna sit at home
Maybe I should change my insurance policy to " weekend car" to save
Does anyone have this type of policy on their CR?

I agree, in the grand scheme of things, the CR is not a rare enough vehicle to garage and never see, however the same was said about the Integra Type R, and it's pretty obvious to see that now its an extremely sought after piece, normally commanding prices in the mid teens.

When I bought my CR, I couldn't afford a DD, and I was commuting 200 miles every weekend from college back home, then having fun all over town, trips to Seattle, Los Angeles, etc. The miles racked up quickly. Something, for me, clicked. I bought a daily driver, and slowly began returning the car to show room quality stock again. For me, the CR will probably always be a garage queen now. Never in the elements, never driven for needless trips, etc.

It really does make every time I sit in our cockpit feel that much more special. In the 7 months since I bought the DD, I've only put about 3000 miles on the CR, compared to averaging 2000 miles a month.

The plan so far is to buy the CR and use it for autocross and on special days. I bought a miata r-package for daily and serious track abuse.
Both cars will be fun but after owning 2 s2000s I wanted to hold onto the CR and make it the last nice one I buy. I might eventually have another as a dd and replace the miata with it.

I can't find another car that I would like as much.

I typically only drive my 75miles to work each week, maybe another 50 miles to a car meet once a week, and maybe dinner on the weekend if we are going somewhere nice and upscale. Otherwise all other trips are taken in the girls Accord. I actually rarely drive my car on the weekends. I bought my car in Feb and have only put 3,000 miles on it. I am going to continue driving it and enjoying it, but I will try to not rack up the miles. I bought the car with the intention of holding on to it for a very long time, and modding it, tracking it, and enjoying it. Again, if I had to drive 10-12,000 miles a year, I would not do it in the CR, or any other S2000. Mainly because I want to hold on to the car and keep it nice and not just rack up senseless and non fun miles.

I nearly got rear ended today. Less than 6 inches from my rear bumper. f@#king SUVs.

I've been struggling with the idea of a daily driver since I originally purchased the car, and I find myself continuing to drive the CR, because even for a simple commute, its just more fun.

Same story for me, wanted an s2000 but not necessarily a CR but this local ricer(Rodney)that sold it to me was persistant so I sold my ABP RSX-S to another friend and it worked out for all of us. My commute to work is less than 30 miles round trip and with 2 months of ownership I feel unconfortable if I'm not in it. I compete in SCCA Solo BS and am not afraid to push the car. I still have not quite found the limit but I'm trying to, that being said I love my car but will take every advantage of driving it like it should be. I also have a base auto RSX that I use if I have to drive my kids around, but have not really needed to use it lately, so it's just chillin in my driveway jealous of the CR. The RSX will get some seat time once the nice weather goes south and I will use that time to prep the CR for the 2012 solo season. Drive the car every chance you get because ya never know when it will be your last.

Should you daily drive your CR? Only if you don't have a choice imo

Yes. That's what I have on mine. I have the lowest level policy, since it's always garaged and I drive under 1k a year.

i drive my CR on the weekends and occasionally during the week. for the most part my civic ex is the daily. dont sell your si, i still miss mine but it got jacked so now i am left with her SOHC ex. it sucks.

I switched mine to a weekend policy as well. My policy is pretty lenient, you set a mileage target, and try to stay under, but its not always exact. Either way it is cheaper.
