mine is a daily driver as well. Bought it new on 1 Jan and have 3600 miles so far. Drive to work is only about 3 miles one way so if I bring my lunch then it is a short round trip and I also save on gas. Usually on the weekends we take the wife's RX which keeps more miles off my ride.
Spending 45 days in Afghanistan helps to keep the miles low too.

Daily driven here. Only about 18-20 miles per day. I have a short commute to the office. Only bummer is that I only hit 3 bars on oil temp when I get about .5 mile from home or work. Rarely get to unleash the beast

DD here, bought w/ 42k miles last January and up to 58k now. So far only oil changes, though rear brakes and water pump were both replaced under warranty.
Will need to do 60k service, tires, brake pads, and rotors probably by end of the year.

haha glad to see a lot of people have the same issue I do...
Only 5 miles to work for me so I usually hit 3 bars on oil temp as I'm pulling into my parking spot
Been doing a ton of cars and coffee runs on the weekends though which means a chance to open her up

and that's with me driving to the gym and work! Now the weekends are a different story 600 miles round trip every weekend, lol oh well. That means I get to drive my car more than all of you

Mine is my DD as well. I work out of my house so there's no commuting to work. 90% of the cars miles are in the mountains and the rest of the miles are from running errands.
I bought mine with 11K miles a little over a year ago and haven't had a single problem to this point at 27K. The car is still as tight as the day I bought it, which I can't say about other cars'trucks I've had over the years.

Mine is a daily driver when I am actually home...I am gone for work almost half of every year though. For my long trips I put it in storage and take insurance off of it, but for shorter trips I let my wife drive it to keep her stress level down.

I've used mine as a daily driver for the last year and a half, about 50kms round trip a day. This is in all conditions, sun, rain, snow, and ice. Handles all conditions flawlessly!

Mine is 2008 DD. It gets about 40 miles a day. I bought at 31k miles in November last year and now and 40k. I just changed the front brakes and rotors and 1 Michelin a/s because of a big bubble
