My cars have always been my dailys. I'm not gonna spend X amount of money on ANOTHER car when I can just save that or spend it on the current car So the S2000, the Evo and the Porsche, to and from work, school, Costco, the clubs/bars, and the track. I trade off with friends as who is the driver sometimes, and for roadtrips I always try to avoid taking my cars, but otherwise I drive the snot out of them. 21k miles on the Porsche since August of 2007, and no, I don't commute far for work, no have I been on any "road trips" longer than 50 miles.

The building I work at we have 4 EVO's, 5 STI's, hella BMW's, and a few riced out hondas... the parking lot holds about 300 cars... me and my friend with an evo always park next to each other. Drive it about 20 miles a day... then it goes back into the garage...

I drive my car to work everyday. There's like maybe two people there who know what it is... the rest think I riced out a lancer lol.

So yeah, most of my co-workers don't know anything about cars.

I have a beater car that i drive it like im crazy. With this car i drive to cautiously on the street. Dont want to mess up the lip. In my mind its not a DD car. Its more of a weekend car.

my job is located in a third world ghetto type ****e hole so i take my beat up 05 cavalier to work everyday... too scared ill find it up on blocks stripped down. even if the surrounding area was better, leaving the car in a parking garage all day with idiot drivers is kind of suspect.

I used to drive my IX to work everyday till the gas hike jacked up the prices. So I picked up a VW Jetta TDi, that i drive most of the time. Hellish MPG, about 600miles a tank. But as long as the weather's nice I take the Evo.

His wife has some nice tatas. That was funny though. She was cursing at him to stop.

On a separate note, I daily drive my car every day to work. My coworkers sometimes call me "too fast, too furious". They make fun until I take them for a ride and then they have a different opinion and more respect of the car.
