Default Do you daily your GS?

Hey guys, some of you know I've gotten rid of my GS already. I sure do miss the car but it's time to move on. There is a slight chance I may purchase another one down the road as they are just rock solid.

As for the question, how many of you guys daily your GS? Work? School? Etc....

I used to daily mine and put a solid 500 miles a week easily. I loved driving it even though it was sluggish at times, but the ride more than made up for it. No one could believe I had 185k when I got rid of it. I miss it already and if I do purchase another one, it'll be a unicorn

Back to the question, I know some of you guys only take your cars out on weekends because some of the sick and insane mods you guys have, while others like to keep it stock to drive daily. I would like to know what the ratio is of daily/weekend?

Sorry if there's post about this already, I couldn't find any.

Vince

My car is DD. I don't have any crazy mods or anything but I believe mines is decent DD to school and work. Which isn't as far as you drive 500miles a week, I would say that I put around 50-100miles a week. Im at 147k, still running strong

I would be only averaging about 150-200 miles a week but I put the car to work on the weekends. I drove that thing nonstop and it took it just fine. I miss the sound of the 2JZ and the nice stance the car has, no matter how old the car gets.

Mine is a DD as well since I have no other car. Granted we didn't get much snow this year but for the days that we did, the snow tires made sure my baby rolled and got me to where I need to be. I'm all stock though mostly because I blew all my money fixing up the maintenance that was needed (brakes and steering).

I bought my GS400 7 years ago w/ 61k and I have never had a problem. My starter is the only thing that has had to be changed. Mobil 1 has treated me well since my Stang days, daily driver 147K.

I daily my car and run about 20,000+ miles a year. Still pass smog with zero emisions and doesn't burn or leak oil. Time to get a hybrid sticker.

As of late I have been as I'm having a problem with my Soarer

I do about 600km/week and as much as I love driving it I'd rather my Soarer do all my daily duties.

I DD mine as well. It sucks to see my low mileage GS racking up the miles. I'm either going to sell it or park it.
