    For those of you that dont use the California as your daily driver, I am wondering what you drive to work? What car do you use as a daily driver/commuter?

    Prius (stop laughing)...but my car spends alot of time at the airport and is gets a ton of door dings. Plus it balances my carbon footprint

    Sorry Ron, :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D AND balances my carbon footprint? Without CO2 all of the plants on the earth would croak.

    Mine is a FF :) ... yep actually both are my daily drivers. I park right in with everyone else and neither Ferrari has had a single door ding in over 75,000 miles of daily driving ... now I need to find some wood to knock on FAST :)

    Just imagine how fast the Cali feels every time i get into it...you definitely have the best of both worlds Rick

    How does your FF feel in terms of acceleration and sound relative to your Cali?

    I know you have tracked your Cali and taken a few names on the track. Have you tracked the FF?

    Well if the commute involves sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for 1 hour every day, then it takes the fun out of driving such a nice car. I drive mine in the evenings and weekends.
    My DD is a Lexus lx470 but it's SO SLOW.

    It was an FF until the new Range Rover came along....sold the FF as I stopped using it!
    The Range Rover has Ferrari-like performance and a better build quality than a Rolls

    So Ferraris should remain as 2 seaters....

    The new SVR might be hard to lose (even in twisties) by a California.
    For my daily I use a Renntech E63S 4Matic (630HP at the wheels).

    Getting a Cali (almost done ordering) but my daily is a new Countryman S All4. Super fun car and decent back seats for kids.

    On my fourth M3. Love it. But the Cali is a special occasion each time I take it out (about 6000 miles a year)

    If I'm not in the Cali, it is either the S class or Jeep, depending on the age of passengers...

    Ford Explorer Sport in the winter and Range Rover Sport or BMW 650i in warmer times. Curiously, the Range Rover is not a 4 season vehicle! Configuring a T in Pozzi/Cuoio now!

    Why do you say that about the Rangie? I have a Disco and it is an all weather/off road beast.

    The Range has Ferrari like performance? Are we using the FF as it can be used? Which Range Rover are we talking about? The supercharged?

    Intrigued.

    Range Rover Sport is the fastest of the Rovers, and its 0-60 time is 4.6. The FF does it in 3.4. The Sport is bigger, heavier and doesn't handle as well, but has better off-road performance and more interior room. I suppose one could argue that the 0-60 times are meaningless in street driving. I'm sure the Rover is better at escaping hordes of bikers.
