I'm just curious has the forum ever taken a poll on how many are daily drivers and how many are week-end pleasure cars? I personally use my 99 as a daily driver, and am hoping I'm not crazy for it!

 

Daily driver here

 

My 2005 XKR coupe is basically a weekend/pleasure driver. Thinking about adding a 2006 Aston Martin Vantage coupe in the near future. The daily driver is a 2009 Honda CRV-ELX.

 

My XKR and my Corvette are summer cars, meaning they are driven whenever I feel like it in the summer; even in the rain. In the winter, I drive my old 740i around exclusively.

So one of the daily drivers in the summer, not in the winter.

 

I would call it a three season daily driver similar to 80sRule. Except when it's snowing, or I need to haul something, I drive the Jag. Wintertime or if I need more space or if I need 4x4 ability, I drive a Jeep Cherokee.

 

I only get my XKR out when the weather is good. I guess at the moment I'm using it 3-4 days a week. My diesel van is my workhorse.

 

I'm drive our 1998, or when Jen lets me!!!...

I like to drive it daily, but have to share it with wife and also taking care of the house makes me drive our Isuzu i370 about 80% of the time.

Honestly I was surprised how daily drive friendly this car is, I was expecting enthusiast car and received Civic Coupe on major steroids

 

When I bought the XKR, last year, I expected it to be a weekend kind of fun car, with my Buick Enclave doing work duty as I often carry around a lot of stuff. But I was filling the tank of my Enclave nearly every day, and I really wasn't carrying as much as I used to, so that I didn't need to haul it around as much as I thought. The XKR got at least 50% better gas mileage than the SUV, the sun is out 355 days a year in Los Angeles, and it has become my daily driver. Who knew I would be buying an XKR as an economy car?

 

I think someone did a poll on this. Daily driver.

 

The XK8 is my preferred ride any day of the year if it's not raining or snowing. The other 350 days a year I drive a 1990 Chrysler/Maserati TC with the hardtop installed.

Cheers,

 

Mine is a daily driver, although I tend to cycle to work as it is only a couple of miles each way and those are the journeys which use most fuel. Also the cycling helps keep the weight down!

 

Summer good weather weekend driver but I do have to confess that I have a company car that includes gas/ins/maint so it is easy for me

 

Daily driver between Apr-Oct Stockholm, Sweden!

 

Daily drivers... except when the weather is bad... which admittedly, isn't very often.

Top down = almost daily/nightly.

 

I bought it to be my daily driver and use it all year here in Chicago. In the summer I bring out my Corvette, but the XK8 still gets driven every day.

 

I put 10K miles on in the last 3 and a half months driving Between San Fran and LA. I guess that pretty much makes my car a daily driver

 

Daily driver, 12 months a year, about 600 miles a week. Lots of freeway miles.
It's running so good now I'm thinking of selling my backup!
Even a bit of snow time...

 

Daily driver here in Tucson - good weather most of the time. Will have to see how we do during the summer thunderstorm season.

 

Mine is a Sun-day car.. When the sun is out, it is out. I also share time with my 1990 BMW k100LT motorcycle and my everyday vehicle is a Honda Ridgeline 2006.
