57 and we have put 55k miles on our '06 in 22 months, so I guess we like it as a DD

im 25.. i've been dd'ing it for the past year.. about 8-14hrs a day, 6 out of the 7days..


im gonna drive the hell out of this car.. enjoy as much as i can.. i love it..

winter is coming though.. probably wont drive it if there's snow on the ground.. i really have a bit of trouble when it rains out.. i fishtail or hydroplane or whatever when i start driving from a complete stop.

but might as well drive it as much as i can since it's around

I daily'ed mine for the first 3 1/2 years of ownership, then I picked up a dd. Living in Florida I didn't want to have to drive it during heavy rain / tropical storms / hurricanes. The only real problem I had with dd'ing it was occasionally when I had to carry large items. Also, star specs get really expensive on a dd.

Turbo'ing the s pretty much required me to have an emergency standby vehicle.

At 72 if I don't daily drive it, I won't get much value out of it.

The only place I don't take it to is the shopping centre.

I've been daily driving mine for 5 years now. Boosted for the last 2 of them! I'm up to 174k miles now and love every mile of it! I bought it with 65k miles 5 years ago so I didn't put all the miles on it unfortunately.
I will be getting another car shortly for the rainy weather as well as the winter.

Why not drive it daily? I'll drive it until I can't.
