Daily or Weekend Drive

How many of you folks use your Evos to go to work/school (daily drive) while how many of you use it during special occasions like dates, races, etc (weekend drive)?

I drive my EVO maybe twice a week. Most of the time i'm in my 95 pathfinder beater mobile. It makes me appreciate the EVO so much more every time i get in it cause 90 percent of the time i'm used to driving a piece of garbage.

also, in the line of work i'm in, my EVO would get beat to hell inside and out if it was my daily driver.

It is 1/2 & 1/2 for me. My wife and I work in the same building so we can carpool daily. We switch cars daily. The car is technically a daily driver as it is not reserved for special events but I only put 1/2 the normal mileage on it as a "daily driver".

So I guess it is 1/2 daily driver.

The EVO itself is a daily driver car, no problem with that, but i think many people with an EVO in their hands have another car to drive so they reserve the EVO just for weekends.

I consider the EVO VII a more civilized car than an EVO VI TME (i.e)...not because of the power but also by the look and that´s a good point because it was becoming very dangerous to drive an EVO V, or VI in some city´s places.

I use my A61 Tarmac black for nice weather driving. I took it to Lime Rock Park this weekend and have done 3 autox's.

I could drive it daily if the weather is good...

80 miles a day to work and back. 22.5k on her, 2nd set of tires, warped rotors and worn brake pads......

I love driving it everyday but I am starting to think driving a car that gets 30+MPG on 87 daily would be nice for my wallet.
