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"? Last edited by mmm; 06-02-2004 at 01:29 PM.. |

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

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

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.

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.

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. Mad Mike 1980 911SC |

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.
