DD, TT or Both?

Heard a lot of guys clanging and banging for a "Both" option...to be honest I really didn't even think about that as I don't hear about too many people using their daily driver as a track toy (not saying that don't or making an argument, just unaware).....so here it is...

Just a couple examples of good "both" cars: BMW //M3, 135i, Audi S4, Evolution, STI, Mustang, Corvette, MINI, Miata, S2000, Boxster/Cayman...

Both for me. I'll be DD it for most of it's duty, but there is no way I'm not going to occasionally track it.

i voted dd on the last one, because it would become the only, but god help me if it doesn't see any of the local tracks... sometimes rat races through wooded country roads just isnt enough, and sometimes i want thrills, minus the imminent risk of death

In recent developments, I might be getting two now. My father is looking to get one and I am, Might turn one of them into a track car. Likely his since he's rolling around in a Acura as a DD.

Track toy mostly, but I would def drive it from here to there since the gas mileage on the Maz is ridiculous. Plus it would be a lot cheaper per mile (gas + maintenance) to drive the Scion.
