Default daily driver?

How many of you guys use your s2000 as a daily driver? Im 23 and chose the s2000 over a more practical car because I loved it so much. I have no problems with having the car as a daily driver. no complaints so far (except for some careless assholes that dont care about dinging/scratching the nice thing you saved up for for yourself for 6 years). The car looks pretty good for being a daily driver though.

I'm 24 and DD mine. I always park either by a curb or far away from other cars and have managed to keep it away from dents. Have a hardtop for the summer/winter months and garage it at night. So far so good but always worried about those careless people.

23 and DD mine as well. My personal preference is that I'd rather not drive it when it's raining because people in Oregon don't know how to drive in the rain or snow.

23 and i don't daily it. I don't think i could do it. I love driving it, but revving so high to get anywhere and having to shift every couple of seconds, and worrying about getting my soft top cut every time i park it causes it to fall into the weekend car category for me haha Not only that, i dont have enough self control to drive it without having some fun

Daily mine... 20 miles/ day for work. Not too bad, especially since I don't have to deal with traffic often. The way I see it I'm 31 and not getting any younger. Why not enjoy myself? Keeping a car couped up in the garage preserving it like wine is no fun, Unless its a dedicated track car as in (not being registered) and only driven for fun.

Moral of the story: Enjoy life, Drive an S2k...
