An every day car of course. It's not a Ferrari F40 to drive it on weekends LOL

Daily beater. I drive 65 miles a day, so not worth killing a nice car. Once I move closer to work, I will get a decent car.

My X is my main ride, use it on a daily basis. Nice ride. My son loves the car more than I do I think.

I switch between my XK8 & X Type. I don't do a lot of driving since I retired.

I drive it 2 to 3 days a week. It was my daily driver for many years, but now the SUV gets the most miles.

Daily driver 26 mi total for 5 months of the year. The other 7 months it's 60/40 car/motorcycle.

Weekends are usually spent with the wife's car to keep the miles on the X-Type down.

Daily driver at @ 20 miles per day for work. Fishing gear is always in the trunk and now that the weather is nice it's also the official "run to the lake" car for my son and I.
