My 911 is not a DD. I have 2 other cars that I rotates once in awhile to keep the juices flowing. The 911 has not yet seen a drop of rain = less washing.

2009 c2s and is my DD. Commute to work of 15 miles and back on weekdays, and occasional runs on country roads on the weekend. I'm thinking maybe 5-6,000 miles per year but I have only had it for 6 months. I do drive the F150 if it is dumping rain here in the Pacific NW but other than that it is driven rain or shine. So nice coming out of a stressful day at work and getting to drive the Porsche home!

Yeah must be nice coming out of work jumping in.

I do about 10-12k miles a year.

Another thing I worry about is marks and scratches for daily driving.

Say I go shopping or go to get a milk shake and will involve me parking on public spaces and I will get marks.

With my BMW I don't know if it's me or that people hate BMW drivers but I get new marks and scratches every few weeks. I don't even bother looking for them I *know* they appear.

As a student my uni car park is a dangerous place other students have maybe how we would define as less glamorous cars and slam their door onto my car. But that is one place I know it happens, the other places cannot be pinned down.

If you have to sit in traffic everyday then a manual pcar sucks.

Mine isn't my sole driver, but I bought dedicated snow tires to ensure I could drive year round. I would have no issues with it as my sole car and mine has been modified with a Stage III suspension from TPC.

Mine is my DD. Aprox 12k a year. I kept my previous car and said I will use that to drive to work and keep my P car for everything else. Never went back and sold the car two months later as I felt bad it never moved.

I even drive the 997 through our harsh winters we have in South Florida. Not even winter tires!
