Daily Use Or Weekender - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Mine is a weekender plus daily driver to work a few days a week. Work is less than 3 miles from home and everything else I need for daily sustenance is even closer. In the 4 months I've been driving this car I've put on... 1700 miles lol

It is an inexpensive, fun, disposable toy. It makes me happy to beat on the car and I see no reason to not be happy as often as possible.

it will be added to my weekend collection. i have a 96 camaro and 99 mustang which i put about 1200 miles on each year. i mainly just drive them to car shows, the race track, and cruises. this will be the same when i finally get my hands on a whiteout. i got a 90 camry that i use on the daily.

Sorry but its pretty tough not to use her on a daily basis, shes just too much fun and is a looker....hold up we talking bout our cars or the GF?

Wolfking · 11-01-2012, 12:46 AM

Every damned day! How else am I to judge if it is truely a worthy steed?

Not on the bike, then I'm in my favorite cage!

FRSGT86 · 11-01-2012, 01:01 AM

Mines my DD. I still have my truck and have driven that on occasion, but since I got my FR-S, driving my truck isn't the same and I can't wait to get back in my FR-S, it's just too much fun to drive!

I would probably daily my future BRZ if I decide on getting one. It'd only be 2-3 days out of the week though. I have three other cars that require my attention as well so equal garage queen opportunity.

QFry · 11-01-2012, 02:01 AM

not only do i DD my FR-S but i whore her out on the days i dont plan on driving much "what? your going to Seattle? take my car i dont plan on going anywhere." or "you dont know how to drive a manual?! Hop in! wrong seat your driving!"...but best of all "your sure you hate 4 cylinders? Here are my keys. Have at..." never had anything but smiles from anyone else driving...

Why oh why do you not live closer to me?

When I get an FR-S I plan on driving it as much as possible

i could meet you in Portland sometime...let me know when

Veloist · 11-01-2012, 02:26 AM

It rained on all my dad's day-offs so our FR-S still has 78 miles on it and it's been three weeks.

I still haven't drove it, but I'm getting closer to picking up my first manual.

Ingen · 11-01-2012, 08:04 AM

Every single day for me. Rain, snow, sleet or hail. I'm like the postal service, except I don't sing songs or deliver mail, and I drive on the weekends too.

Chimpo · 11-01-2012, 08:19 AM

It was going to be my DD, but I'm having a hard time selling my other car (Honda CR-Z) so I'm going to garage it this winter. The opportunity cost to dump the Honda is between the few low-ball offers I recieved and the cost of getting snow tires on the FR-S... which would cover the car payments on it for the next 4 or 5 months. On top of that I already have snow wheels/tires for the Honda, so I might as well drive it now.

Unless anyone wants a CR-Z for a good price...
