How many folks here use their 911 as a daily driver?
 
Yes, no, maybe?

If not, why not? If so, does it work well as a daily driver as far as you're concerned? For the earlier cars, is the lack of power steering "a bother"?

My vote makes it 100% 3.2 so far. Course I was the first vote.

I drive mine 3 to 4 day a week.

dd74 06-02-2004 01:16 PM

I drive mine every day. I also have a brand new Mercury Mountaineer rotting away in my driveway.

I'd say that counts as a "daily" driver.

I commute once a week or so to Los Angeles from Las Vegas. 330 miles each way. Usually 4-ish hours each way.

I live about a mile from work so I bicycle in.
But shop in a town away just to get a good drive twice a week.

I drive mine daily to work and back. No problems, and I actually have A/C that keeps me cool in Houston, Texas.

dmcummins 06-02-2004 01:32 PM

I have to say no, but only because the company I work for furnishes me with a vehicle. I drive mine every chance I get though.

Yep, but I'm looking into buying an old beater to drive to work everyday. I can't stand not driving my car fast. :(

MysticLlama 06-02-2004 01:52 PM

Mine has been a daily driver.....





...for the 3 days I've owned it so far. :D

Used to do around 12 000 miles a year. Last year was down to about 7,000 but I've just changed jobs so this'll probably go up again. I might get a beater/diesel just to save money on (crazy priced) fuel.

No, I live in Phoenix and don't want me, or the car to suffer in the 110 degree heat during the afternoon commute home.

Winter time, we drive to work 3 time a week.

3.2 as daily driver. MY ONLY CAR!!!!!!! Life sucks!!:)

911ctS 06-02-2004 02:02 PM

drive the 70' everyday.

GrindingGears 06-02-2004 02:15 PM

'83 everyday, long way to and from work gives me about 10 minutes of hot oil driving =)

curlesw 06-02-2004 02:18 PM

Yes, 35 miles each way, 5 days a week, until now. It costs $47+ to fill it up (approx 350 miles) whereas I can drive my Honda the same distance for about $27. I'm parking the P-car...Friday's only for a while for me.

I have a 3.2 but 1-2 days a week is all I drive her. When I was car shopping, the P-car was my daily driver and it was a blast but gas prices were also more reasonable. My main reason for not driving the P-car is that I am worried about wrecking it with the way people drive in Orange County.

Goin' to get a sandwich right now.
