Not sure that my English sarcasm came out in my post! I was trying to

nice poll though

Hmm, there needs to be an "in between" choice, I think. Mine is neither a daily driver nor just a weekend cruiser. Driven on the weekends but also to work 1-2 times a week.

So where do you want me?

I use mine as a weekend cruiser or go out for a blast after work during the week when I'm in town and need a break.

TimMullen · 01-28-2008, 03:58 PM

Fair weather car. It's my daily driver during the spring/summer/fall, but gets put away for the winter. I also avoid driving it when it's going to rain (keeps the other drivers from hitting it as easily). But as long as it's not raining, and there is not snow or salt on the road, it's my daily driver.

alil'britdifferent · 01-28-2008, 05:18 PM

Mine is my sons college fund!!

MightyMike · 01-28-2008, 05:35 PM

I drive mine when the weather is nice. At present, my Elise is garaged for the winter. It stinks not being able to drive it, but on the positive side, I'm saving $300 on my six month insurance premium.
