When you're spending the sort of money on a car such as this I believe getting the most time in it. No point spending loads and then driving around in a beater, makes no sense to me (Harsh winters excluded)

Daily driven here...about 60 miles daily. The fact that it's daily driven is the reason I haven't gone with headers yet...don't want it to be too loud. Right now with the JoeZ exhaust it's perfect, not too loud and but definately noticable. Other docs at my hospital compliment me on the exhaust all the time.

I use mines as my daily driver as well. I drive roughly 50-55 round trip and enjoy every minute of it.

I used to commute with my F 3 days a week, 50 miles round trip. I've been vanpooling since October though. However, I find myself looking even more forward to driving my F after commuting all day in a Toyota minivan.

Daily. About 600-700 miles a week sometimes more, so I guess about 90-100 miles a day on average.

On the weekends I have a near track spec RB28 R32 GT-R with a bit more snapping of the neck. (Even compared to the IS-F, it just feels crazy fast)

Just bought mine a little over a week ago and its my only car. I am going to be buying my moms 2000 Celica though for a winter/crappy weather car come fall. Maryland winters will wreak havoc on a car and I want to try to keep her in the amazing condition it is now

Not Mine. I have a 1997 Lincoln Town car as my DD. Then people can door ding me and i could care less. If that happened in the F or any of my other cars i would get pissed.

The F is my daily driver. It's been so long since I've driven my Cayman, there are cobwebs on the tires.

mines a daily driver. i drive it through the winter. I don't drive far to work maybe 20 or 15 miles to work. my job has a parking deck and basically i park next to the wall and next to the high end cars cuz I know they don't want to scratch their cars either.
